Canine Caviar Small Breed Limited Ingredient Alkaline Chicken & Whole Ground Oats Entree Dry Dog Food
Product Description
Small breed dogs burn through energy faster than their larger counterparts and often need more calorie-dense nutrition per pound of body weight. Canine Caviar's Small Breed Entree Alkalizing was built specifically around that need, pairing chicken with whole ground oats in a formula that's higher in protein and fat than the brand's standard recipes, while keeping the same single-protein, single-carbohydrate structure that defines the whole lineup. It's flash-cooked at 180°F for just six seconds, a process the brand positions as a convenient middle ground between traditional kibble and raw feeding.
Key Features
- Chicken is the single source of animal protein, paired with whole ground oats as the sole carbohydrate.
- Higher protein (31% min) and fat (20% min) content tailored to small breed dogs' faster metabolisms.
- Flash-cooked at 180°F for 6 seconds, offering a convenient alternative closer to a raw diet.

Feeding Instructions
To get the best results, feed your dog properly: divide the daily portion into two meals, feeding half in the morning and half in the evening. Feeding amounts will vary according to age, breed, activity level, and environment; adjust accordingly to maintain optimal body condition. Overfeeding may cause loose stools. Always have plenty of fresh water available.
Do not mix with your current food. Canine Caviar recommends a straight changeover, feeding half the recommended amount on the first day. This differs from a gradual transition approach, so follow the packaging instructions closely when switching your dog onto this recipe.
Why We Love It
Small breed formulas often get treated as an afterthought, a large breed recipe with smaller kibble and little else changed. Canine Caviar took a different approach here, actually adjusting the protein and fat levels to match a small dog's faster metabolism, not just the bite size. Chicken's broad palatability makes it an easy entry point for small breed owners exploring limited ingredient diets. Made in the USA.
Caution
Keep food in the bag, even if using a container, and store in a cool, dry place for optimum freshness. Please see packaging for the complete AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement.
