Is Petaluma a good fit for small dogs?Updated 21 days ago

Yes! Our baked food works well for dogs of all sizes, and there are a few easy ways to make it work for small mouths.

Soften the pieces. Our food is baked, not extruded, so the pieces soften and crumble easily with a small splash of warm water. Let it sit for a minute or two before serving.

Break them up. The pieces can also be broken into smaller bits by hand.

Try the Whole Food Mixer. Our Whole Food Mixer is a dehydrated, just-add-water food that is complete and balanced on its own. It's a great fit for small dogs and dogs with few teeth, and it can be served as a full meal or mixed with our baked food.

Smaller bites are on the way. We're testing a smaller bite size for small dogs right now, and if you'd like to join our taste tester team, email [email protected].

For portions, see our adult, senior and Whole Food Mixer portion guides, since small dogs need less food than you might expect.
