Miniature breeds make up more than 60% of all domestic dogs in the world, and their popularity is growing. Although they’re small in stature, they have specific nutritional requirements, and meeting those needs is crucial. They have a faster metabolism, smaller stomachs, and expend less energy per kilogram of body weight. Yet they’re often given more food than is suitable, which can lead to obesity and other health complications.
How Does Proper Nutrition Support the Health of Mini Breeds?
To combat the most common health challenges of mini breeds, Brit Care offers a solution not only in the form of kibble but also through new functional treats. Brit Care Mini Snacks have been developed not just to taste good, but also to support the health of smaller breeds. They contain carefully selected ingredients targeting common health challenges while working with their sensitive metabolisms. The caloric value of treats plays a key role, as even small excesses can significantly impact their health. For example, a 4 kg dog needs only 300–400 kcal per day, and any caloric surplus strains the body and affects overall wellbeing.
Small Bite, Big Contribution
