FAQs about Calibra Food for Small-Breed Dogs

What makes small-breed dog food different?

Calibra small-breed recipes are designed with smaller kibble sizes for easier chewing and digestion, as well as containing higher calories to match your small dog’s faster metabolism.

Why do small dogs need more calories?

Can I feed my small dog regular adult food?

Technically yes, regular adult food won’t harm small dogs, however the kibble size and nutrient density aren’t as optimised for small dog breeds.

How do I transition my small dog to Calibra food?

Transition to new food slowly as to not cause digestive upset or other issues. Start by mixing the new small dog food with the old food over 5-7 days (25%, 50%, 75%, then 100%). Bear in mind that for sensitive dogs to take it slower and keep an eye out for any cues of discomfort – you know your dog best.
