High moisture content promotes hydration, while balanced protein and fat levels support energy, lean muscle maintenance, and overall vitality in small breed dogs.
Life Stage & Breed Clarity
Formulated for adult small breed dogs. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. The convenient 3.5 oz. single-serve tray format ensures proper portion control for dogs under 20 lbs.
Functional Positioning
Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy skin and coat. Essential vitamins and minerals—including zinc, iron, copper, manganese, and selenium amino acid chelates—promote overall wellness and immune function. The tender, succulent pieces in savory gravy encourage even selective eaters to enjoy mealtime, while added moisture supports urinary tract health and digestion.
Feeding Guidance
Feed 3 to 4 trays (3.5 oz. each) per 10 lbs. of body weight daily. Adjust portions based on your dog's age, activity level, and individual metabolism. Serve at room temperature for optimal palatability. Cover and refrigerate unused portions. Always provide fresh water.
Transitioning: When switching to Merrick Lil' Plates, gradually introduce over 7 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food to avoid digestive upset.
