Small Breed Dog Food

Our small breed dog food is made with smaller kibbles that are easier to pick up and chew, plus freshly prepared meat and fish ingredients as the first ingredient in every recipe. No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, no wheat, soya, or dairy. Just honest food that fits in a tiny mouth. Little dogs tend to burn through energy quickly, so our recipes balance protein, healthy fats, and slow-release carbohydrates to help keep them going between meals. Natural ingredients like yucca extract may help support digestion and reduce odour, while vitamin E and a blend of prebiotics can support a healthy gut. Every recipe is balanced, complete, and made in our own Yorkshire factory, so you know what's going in the bowl.

FAQ

Is Harringtons small breed dog food suitable for all small dogs?

Yes, our small breed recipes are made for adult dogs from 12 months who weigh up to around 10kg. That covers breeds like Chihuahuas, Pugs, Yorkshire Terriers, Jack Russells, and small mixed breeds. The smaller kibble size is designed for little mouths. If your dog has a specific health concern, a quick chat with your vet can help put your mind at ease.

What's different about small breed dog food compared with regular dog food?

Two main things. First, the kibble pieces are smaller, which makes them easier for little jaws to pick up and chew. Second, the recipe is balanced for dogs with faster metabolisms. Small breeds tend to burn calories more quickly than larger dogs, so the protein and fat levels are tailored to match. Our small breed recipes also include natural ingredients like yucca and a blend of prebiotics that may help support healthy digestion.

Can I mix small breed dry food with wet food?

Yes, and around 46% of dog owners already do. Mixed feeding can add variety, extra moisture, and a different texture at mealtimes, which often suits small dogs who can be fussy eaters. Just adjust portion sizes so the overall daily intake stays the same. Once you've opened a wet food tray, pop any leftovers into an airtight container in the fridge and use within two to three days.

How much should I feed my small breed dog?

It depends on your dog's weight, age, and activity level, as every dog is a bit different. Recommended daily amounts are on the back of every pack as a starting point. We'd suggest weighing portions on kitchen scales rather than using scoops, as the bulk density of kibble can vary between batches. If you're not sure where to start, a quick chat with your vet can help.
