Small Dog Breed

Food of small dogs

Little dogs, both mobile and substance-sharing, are different from big dogs. These features should be taken into account in the formulation of the diet.

Taxa, Foxterier or Karlick Poodle, of course, is much more mobile than Senbernar or Doga. But not only is spontaneous muscle activity and high neurogenerality demanding a lot of energy that needs to be obtained with feed: the organism always releases heat energy into the environment. Especially the loss of energy in small dogs is the attitude of the body surface to the weight of their bodies.

A large amount of energy is needed, first and foremost, by thin dogs with small subcutaneous fat deposits.

Small dogs have, in relation to their body weight, a harder stomach-kischen tract and a bigger liver than big dogs. Thus, they should spend more energy on food and fermentation processes, respectively.

Measured energy content in nutrition, which, on the other hand, takes into account the bias towards the overweight of some species, is a prerequisite for optimal diet. The intensive exchange of substances is low in small dogs because of the short digestive channel, the esophical efficiency. Only particularly easily refrigerated food, which is rich in indispensable amino acids, fatic acids, micronutrients and vitamins meeting these requirements.

ROYAL CANIN is proposing its SIZE HEALTH NUTRITION MINI nutritional programme, a fully fledged, highly delicious diet, for all dogs up to 10 kg.

It is desirable that the dining diet be divided into two fixed meals. This separation reduces the burden on the digestive tract and ensures the equitable provision of nutrients throughout the day. Intermediate meals, in order to preserve the normal weight of the body, must in any case be abandoned. Nutrition, which is very specific to the needs of a small dog, contributes greatly to health, temperation and beauty. In addition, feeding dry food prevents the formation of tooth stones.

Adult dogs need energy while supporting the exchange of substances
