Symply Dog Food: Adult Small Breed Turkey & Potato 2KG

Symply Fresh Turkey Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, 2kg

Symply's small breed recipe, 2kg of turkey and potato kibble in a smaller piece size. Kibble shape matters more than owners expect with a small dog: a terrier or a chihuahua given standard-sized pieces either swallows them whole or leaves them, and neither is what you want.

Beyond the piece size, small dogs need more energy per kilo of bodyweight than large ones, so a small breed food is not simply the same recipe in a smaller bag. Symply list this one as Fresh Turkey for Small Breed Dogs.

Performance & Benefits

• Turkey as the named meat, with potato as the carbohydrate
• Formulated by Symply for small breeds rather than adapted from an all-breed recipe
• Smaller kibble pieces, which small dogs will actually chew
• 2kg bag, which is a month or more of food for a dog this size
• Lean poultry, useful for a small dog carrying condition
• A bag a single small dog will finish while the food is still fresh

Suitable For

• Small adult breeds — terriers, toy breeds, small crosses
• Dogs that leave standard kibble because the pieces are too big
• Small dogs on a maintenance ration rather than a working one
• Owners feeding one small dog who do not want a large bag going stale
• Not for large breeds — the Symply Fresh Chicken for Large Dog Breeds is the food formulated for those

Feeding

• Symply print the daily amount for your dog's bodyweight on the 2kg bag; use that rather than a figure quoted by a retailer
• Weigh the ration on kitchen scales rather than using a scoop — scoops vary and kibble settles
• Split the day's food across two meals, and adjust by about 10% either way on body condition
• Change over across about a week, mixing an increasing share of Symply Fresh Turkey Small Breed into the current food
• A working or very active dog needs more than the chart suggests; a neutered dog in a flat usually needs less
• Fresh drinking water at all times, which matters more on a dry diet than a wet one

Composition & Analysis

• Symply's own published composition and analytical constituents for this recipe could not be retrieved at the time of writing, so no figures are reproduced here
• The composition, the analytical constituents and Symply's feeding guide are printed on the bag — read them before you move a dog onto it
• Symply's own name for this product is Fresh Turkey for Small Breed Dogs
• Small dogs are easy to overfeed by eye; a few grams either way is a large proportion of a 5kg dog's daily ration
