The 10 Best Puppy Food For Small Breeds
This wiki has been updated 12 times since it was first published in January of 2019. In addition to having different nutritional needs from adult dogs, small-breed puppies lack the jaw size and strength to chow down on the crunchy and chewy chunks of food their larger counterparts may enjoy. These nutrient-rich foods are specially formulated for healthy growth and development, and come in kibbles and morsels that are just right for pint-sized pooches. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes
January 25, 2019:
Small breed dogs can have big issues when it comes to eating and digestion, especially at the puppy stage. The puppy foods on this list are formulated especially for the sensitive GI tracts and finicky tastes of various small breeds. Higher marks go to those with a limited number of easily digestible ingredients and added nutrients like DHA and pre-/probiotics.
