Ingredient Transparency

Real chicken is the first ingredient, followed by chicken meal-a concentrated protein source that naturally contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Brewers rice, whole grain sorghum, and whole grain brown rice provide digestible carbohydrates for energy. Chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols) supplies essential fatty acids. Dried plain beet pulp supports digestive health, and whole flaxseed delivers omega-3 fatty acids. Dried Bacillus subtilis fermentation product provides probiotic support. The formula is fortified with a complete spectrum of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and essential B vitamins. No corn, wheat, soy, chicken by-product meal, artificial flavors, or preservatives are used. Trace amounts may be present due to potential cross-contact during manufacturing.

Nutritional Positioning

Greenies Smart Essentials Small Breed Adult is formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance. The 28% minimum protein and 18% minimum fat levels are calibrated for the elevated metabolic rate of small breed dogs. The six-area health support framework addresses the specific wellness priorities of small breeds-including joint health (glucosamine and chondroitin from chicken meal), digestive health (beet pulp and probiotics), and dental health (kibble texture). This is not a therapeutic or prescription diet.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

Greenies Smart Essentials Small Breed features a kibble size specifically designed for small breed dogs, supporting easier chewing and portion control. The chicken-forward flavor profile supports consistent palatability. The kibble texture provides daily dental engagement with every bite. Individual preference may vary based on the dog's history with dry food and prior diet.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal divided into two portions. Use a standard 8 oz measuring cup (holds 3.74 oz of food) and adjust based on your dog's weight and activity level:

• 5 lbs: 1/3 - 1/2 cup per day
• 10 lbs: 2/3 - 3/4 cup per day
• 15 lbs: 1 cup per day
• 20 lbs: 1 1/4 - 1 1/3 cups per day
• 25 lbs: 1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cups per day
• 30 lbs: 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups per day

When transitioning from another food, gradually mix increasing amounts of Greenies Smart Essentials over 7-10 days. Monitor body condition and adjust portions as needed. Consult your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.
