Small Dog
Big Care

Small dogs need more from less. Not scaled down.

Care built for small dogs.
Not scaled down.

Small dogs. Small system.

Every bite, sip, and treat has to do more.

Food, water, treats — all sharing the same limited space.

Tighter margins. Less room for error. Every choice carries more weight. The bowl has to do more than it should. TENDS is designed around small-dog constraints.

Small dogs need more — but have less room.

They eat less per meal — so each portion has to deliver more. Less food means less of everything — protein, nutrients, what they rely on.

Every bite carries the full weight of their nutrition.

Trade-offs start when space runs out.

Water isn't the problem. Space is. Hydration can adjust — dogs drink, the body adapts. Nutrients don't always. What's missing from the bowl can't be recovered.

When density drops, there's no backup plan.

Small extras. Big impact.

Treats use the same space. The same calories. In a small dog, that's never a small decision.

They're never just treats.

Every bite counts.

Illustrative comparison based on maintenance energy and gastric volume data (FEDIAF, 2024).

Hydration operates within tighter margins — with less room for imbalance.

Water-heavy food uses stomach space — reducing nutrient density without improving hydration efficiency.

Small extras. Big impact.

When something's off, it shows up quickly. You see it in digestion. You may notice it on their breath.

They're never just treats.

Food does most of the work.
It has to.

Small dogs eat less — you see it in every bowl. So each bite has to carry more.

Designed to deliver more in smaller portions — so what fits still delivers what matters.

Energy, digestion, skin, and calm — not split across products. Built in from the start.

Built to work alongside food.

Hydration shapes how nutrients are used.

In small dogs, intake is limited — so it has to work alongside what they eat.

TENDS Hydration Ritual blends are added to water — supporting hydration without replacing what meals deliver.

Hypotonic — formulated to support fluid balance in small bodies.

Built to fit. Not to fill.

Snacks That Don’t Undo Meals.

TENDS Superfood Pops are made from popped lotus seeds — light, crunchy, and designed to use less of the daily budget.

Over 70% of each Pop is the seed itself — with simple flavours dogs actually enjoy.

Designed to fit between meals — without taking from what meals deliver.

Built for where it matters most.

The places you already watch.

Eyes. Nose. Paws.

Where small dogs feel the world first.

You notice when something's off — a dry nose, a paw they keep licking, a change around the eyes.

Safe if licked. Structured to stay where placed. Nothing added for fragrance. Everything included with intent.
