Overview and Key Benefits

Real Chicken Is Our #1 Ingredient
We include real chicken as our #1 ingredient, as well as other whole, natural ingredients, such as whole brown rice and sunflower oil, to please even the most selective palates — guaranteed.
Unique Kibble Shape for Oral Care
Due to their smaller mouths, small breed dogs’ teeth are more prone to overcrowding, which can lead to oral health concerns. Our unique kibble shape is designed to naturally reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
Antioxidants for Immune Systems
Since many small dogs live up to 20 years, they need increased antioxidant support. Our DNADVANTAGE BLEND^® Formula includes a unique blend of antioxidants that nutritionally rejuvenate your dog’s immune system.
Guaranteed to Improve Skin and Coat**
Small dogs not only spend the majority of their time indoors, but they also are groomed more frequently. This lifestyle lends itself to skin sensitivity. We guarantee a healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat with our patented levels of omega-6 fatty acid (linoleic acid), zinc and B vitamins.
Targeted Nutrition for a Higher Metabolism
Our formula has been precisely formulated with targeted levels of protein and fat to keep up with the higher energy needs of a small breed adult dog.

BIGGER BAG I have 3 female chihuahua's, and they love this food. Feeding 3 of them, I go through a small bag very quickly. I agree with the other person in having a bigger bag for those of us who have more than one small breed. Thanks. February 21, 2013

improved coat My 7 year old shih tzu had an oily coat and was scratching alot. I decieded to try nutro . After two months he has a beautiful soft coat and no more scratching. I am so glad i found this food for him. I also have a King Charles Spaniel and a Schnauzer. All of my dogs have healthy coats and high energy. I love this food. February 7, 2013

Yes!! Larger bags for small breeds, PLEASE!!! I also agree with nicholasc. I have a Shih Tzu, a Maltese, a Chihuahua, and a Dachshund. Long story on how I accumulated my crowd, but I love them all. I would also like to see the larger bag in a chicken/whole grain blend (rice) that my dogs love so I can have the savings that larger breeds enjoy. Why not? Will it "go bad" if only one dog is eating down to the bottom of the bag? That's the only reason I would think that a one dog owner would be afraid to purchase a larger bag, but certainly with Natural Choice's quality, that can't be true, or is it? I also have been waiting for some coupons to be emailed to me since I joined, but haven't seen any. That would help alot!! February 6, 2013

Murphy Loves It We adopted our Terrier mix in March of 2011. They sent us home with another famous brand that our Jack Russell loved so we thought great. Well, not so great because this little one was not interested. What made us choose this product was the ingredients and the fiber content and we have not been disappointed. Our boy can't wait for mealtime, he has a bright and shiny coat, and not to overshare but bathroom time is an easy pickup! Please don't mess with this formula too much! Thanks August 14, 2012

Best small dog food ever!! I have a toy poodle who has bad coat but after a couple of weeks on Nutro her coat is softer and looking thicker and better. My poodle mix also loves it !! Great dog food! We are impressed!! July 27, 2012
