Wellness Complete Dry Dog Food - Small Breed Turkey Oatmeal 4lb
With a big soul and a petite body, your small dog is made up of a unique physical makeup with specific nutritional needs that need to be met.
Our Small Breed Adult Pastoral Balanced Recipe is a nutrient-dense, complete food that supports the unique health needs of small breed dogs.
- Optimal calorie intake to maintain a healthy weight
- 4 animal-based proteins for high energy needs and lean/strong muscle
- Omega 3 and Omega 6 help maintain healthy skin and hair
- Exquisite Taste - When it comes to flavor, small dogs have sensitive palates. Satisfaction guaranteed, we use real turkey to deliver the natural taste your pup loves without adding fat to their diet.
- Higher Energy Requirements - Small dogs need energy that comes from protein rather than just fat to help maintain their ideal weight and general health.
- We use 4 premium animal-based proteins including boneless turkey, chicken, salmon and herring meal.
- Extend Lifespan by Up to 50% - With a lifespan of up to 20 years, small species' vital systems need nutritional support to stay strong. Our comprehensive range of recipes is rich in antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, vitamins and minerals to help support cellular health.
- Smaller digestive tracts – Small breed dogs need a lot of nutrients from their diet. Our products contain natural live bacteria to support digestive health. We use Digestool® research to ensure excellent nutrient digestibility – less nutrients remain in the stool, meaning more nutrients are stored in the body.
- Skin and Coat Needs - The extra exercise and cuddling of an indoor lifestyle means puppies need nourished skin for a healthy coat. To support healthy skin, we've added flaxseed and salmon fish oil as part of our WellCoat Omega 3 and Omega 6 combination.
In addition to our high-quality protein and wholesome grains, Wellness Pet Recipes are a great combination for overall health.
- A rainbow of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables
- A golden combination of Omega 3 & Omega 6, natural herbs, essential vitamins and minerals
- ACTICOAT™ and Probiotics

Switching to the Wellness Pet Diet: It is important to slowly transition your puppy from his/her current diet to the Wellness Pet Diet, as it takes several days for his/her body to adjust to the new nutritional content.
To switch brands, gradually mix in the new food over a period of 5-7 days, increasing the amount of Wellness Pet Diet each day. After 7 days, you can feed 100% Wellness Pet Diet.
Determine feeding ratio: Refer to the chart below and divide the total number of cups fed per day by the total number of feedings per day to determine the portion size for each meal.
Always have a bowl of clean water ready for use.
Wellness Pet Health believes in feeding a mix of dry food and canned food to help increase your puppy's water intake in their diet at all times.
Recommended feeding amount (based on a standard 8oz dry food measuring cup)
