Description
With mighty souls but little bodies, your small breed dog has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs.
Wellness' Super5Mix Small Breed Adult Health supporting the unique health needs of smaller dogs through nutrient-rich whole foods
- Optimal Caloric Intake to Support Healthy Body Weight
- 4 Animal Protein Sources for Lean, Strong Muscles
- WellCoat Omega 3 & 6 Mix Helps Support Healthy Skin & Coat
Smaller Digestive Tracts
Small breeds need to get lots of nutrition from the little portions they consume. We include live, naturally-occurring micro-organisms to support digestive health and we ensure optimal nutrient absorption through our Digestool confirmation studies - less nutrients in the stool, means more nutrients in the body.
Higher Energy Needs
The extra energy your small dog needs should come from protein and not just fat. To help maintain optimal weight and healthy body mass, we use 4 quality animal protein sources including deboned turkey, chicken, salmon and Menhaden fish meals.
Sophisticated Tastes
When it comes to taste, small breed dogs have discerning palates. With satisfaction guaranteed, we use real meat to provide a natural taste that little dogs love, without loading their diet with fat.
Up to 50% Longer Life Spans
With a life expectancy of up to 20 years, small breed's life-systems need nutritional support to stay strong. Our 5 for Life Supplement System is packed with antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies, vitamins and minerals to help support cellular health.
Need for Skin & Coat Support
Life indoors with extra laptime and petting means that little dogs need nourished skin that produces a healthy coat. To support healthy skin, we add salmon oil and flaxseed as part of our WellCoat Omega 3 & 6 Mix.
Guaranteed Great Taste
With satisfaction guaranteed, we use deboned chicken and whitefish to provide a taste that dogs love.
Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed Adult Health Recipe Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance.

Instructions
Feeding Guidelines
- Based on a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup.
- Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level.
- Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.
- Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
Transitioning to Wellness
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portion
Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Combination Feeding
If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/8 cup for every 2 tbsp of wet food.
| Weight | Daily Feeding |
| 3 to 17 lbs | 1/4 to 1 cup |
| 18 to 23 lbs | 1 to 1 1/4 cups |
| 24 to 45 lbs | 1 1/4 to 2 cups |
| 46 to 65 lbs | 2 to 2 1/2 cups |
| 66 to 85 lbs | 2 1/2 to 3 cups |
| 86 to 105 lbs | 3 to 3 1/2 cups |
| 106 to 125 lbs | 3 1/2 to 4 cups |
