Small dogs have very specific nutritional needs, and the Air Dried “Just For My Small Dog” Chicken Recipe is intentionally built to meet them. With 96% real meat and organ meat, this recipe delivers concentrated, highly digestible nutrition in a form that small dogs can comfortably eat, absorb, and thrive on.
Because small breeds have short digestive tracts, they need foods that maximize nutrient absorption without upsetting the stomach. Gentle air drying preserves raw food nutrition without high-temperature cooking, resulting in a soft, chewable texture that’s easier on smaller mouths and sensitive systems.
Digestive support is built into the recipe. The Optifiber™ Complex (psyllium, inulin, and FOS) helps promote consistent, healthy bowel movements, while a goat’s milk + prebiotic and probiotic blend supports gut health and nutrient absorption. Shelf-stable Bacillus coagulans provides live microorganisms without the need for refrigeration.
Small dogs also tend to live longer, making joint and mobility care essential over time. New Zealand green mussels provide natural compounds that support joints and connective tissue, helping keep small dogs comfortable and active as they age.
Why air-dried food works so well for small dogs:
Air-dried diets offer the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of dry food. They’re easier to chew, easier to digest, and more calorie-dense than traditional kibble — ideal for small stomachs and higher metabolisms.
Why Pawstock carries it:
This is not a scaled-down afterthought. Developed by BSM Veterinary & Nutrition Services, this recipe is purpose-built for small dogs, focusing on digestion, joint support, and long-term wellness using clean ingredients and careful processing.
