Small breed dogs have a faster metabolism and smaller stomachs, so their calorie needs per kilogram are higher than those of other adult dogs to compensate for their smaller food intake. Burns’ small breed formula contains more protein and fat than other adult dog formulas from the brand, ensuring small dogs absorb enough nutrients to maintain a healthy weight. As a general staple food, this dog food helps maintain a healthy coat and digestive system. Additionally, the kibble is specially small, making it easy for dogs with small mouths to eat comfortably.
