Small but Mighty: The Case for Premium Nutrition
Toy breeds may be the smallest dogs in the world, but they are often the most susceptible to the consequences of poor nutrition. Here’s why: the small volume of food a toy breed eats each day means every single bite matters. There is no room for empty calories, filler ingredients, or imbalanced formulas. When you feed a toy breed, you are making a nutritional decision that is amplified at every meal.

Why Table Scraps Are a Toy Breed’s Biggest Threat
Due to the small daily serving size GENUINE requires for toy breeds, even modest amounts of table scraps or treats introduce excess calories and dilute the precise nutritional balance your dog needs. Think of it this way: a late afternoon snack that ruins a child’s dinner has the same effect on a toy breed’s carefully formulated meal. With GENUINE, no supplementation is required to achieve optimal health. One bag will feed a toy breed for months because so little is needed per serving.
Kibble Designed for Tiny Mouths
GENUINE’s kibble size is purpose-built for toy breeds. Many GENUINE dogs develop a delightful mealtime ritual: selecting one kibble at a time, carrying it to a favorite spot, and savoring each bite. Beyond the charm, the kibble’s crunch provides real oral health benefits. Dental issues are disproportionately common in toy breeds, and GENUINE’s dry kibble helps address this concern with every meal.
Visible Digestive Health
GENUINE is highly digestible and contains beet pulp, the ideal fiber source, along with the prebiotic inulin (fructooligosaccharides). The result is visible gastrointestinal health: formed, easy-to-pass stools. For many toy breed owners, GENUINE delivers the first truly consistent digestive experience their dog has ever had.
Bone and Joint Protection for Delicate Frames
Toy breeds are particularly vulnerable to bone and joint issues. GENUINE’s inclusion of chondroprotective agents, essential fats and oils, and targeted nutraceuticals helps guard against structural problems and alleviate symptoms of discomfort, supporting pain-free walks, play, and the active life every toy breed deserves.
One Formula, Every Life Stage
GENUINE is a lifelong formula for toy breeds. From puppy to adult to senior, from active to less active, the nutritional science remains constant. With over 40% protein from a unique chicken protein source, the equivalent of 33 chickens in every bag, GENUINE provides the complete, balanced nutrition your toy breed needs at every stage. It is guaranteed for the lifetime of your dog.
