Small dogs aren’t just little big dogs — they have unique nutritional needs. The Air Dried “Just For My Small Dog” Beef Recipe was built from the ground up specifically for them, delivering 96% real meat and organ meat in a highly digestible, nutrient-dense format that supports longevity, digestion, and mobility.
Because small breeds have shorter digestive tracts, they need food that delivers maximum nutrition without overwhelming their system. Gentle air drying preserves the integrity of raw ingredients while creating a soft, easy-to-chew texture that’s ideal for smaller mouths and sensitive stomachs.
This recipe goes beyond protein. A carefully balanced Optifiber™ Complex (psyllium, inulin, and FOS) supports consistent, healthy bowel movements — a common challenge for small dogs. A goat’s milk + prebiotic and probiotic blend helps maintain gut health and nutrient absorption, while Bacillus coagulans delivers live, shelf-stable microorganisms.
Small dogs also tend to live longer, making joint and mobility support especially important. That’s where New Zealand green mussels come in — a natural source of compounds that support joints, connective tissue, and long-term movement.
Why air-dried is ideal for small dogs:
Air-dried food retains raw food nutrition while being easier to chew and digest than traditional kibble. It allows small dogs to eat less volume while still meeting their nutritional needs — perfect for fast metabolisms and smaller stomachs.
Why Pawstock carries it:
This isn’t a downsized formula — it’s purpose-built. Developed by BSM Veterinary & Nutrition Services, this recipe prioritizes digestion, joint health, and longevity for small dogs, using clean ingredients and a processing method that respects them.
