Smaller bodies mean shorter digestive journeys.
Food moves through more quickly.
That’s why when digestion goes wrong,
you notice it sooner.
And it’s why, when food fits,
adjustment can happen sooner than you’ve been led to believe.
Smaller bodies mean shorter digestive journeys. Food moves through more quickly.
Instead of being able to trust one decision, you’re left assembling care from everywhere.

In small dogs, digestive issues aren’t about change or the speed of change.

It’s pressure.
Excess bulk.
Hard-to-ferment fibres.
Ingredients that irritate or over-signal the gut.
It’s the load placed on a tiny system.

Pressure eases when the gut is supported — not forced.
Fibre that feeds — not fills
Chicory inulin — gentle fermentable support
The gut renews every few days
L-Glutamine — supports natural repair
Botanical ease, day after day
Boswellia — supports internal calm

This is what support feels like.
Most transition plans were built for broken food.
They slowed everything down —
not because dogs needed it,
but because the food did.
For small dogs, that meant:
measuring percentages,
splitting bowls across days,
following a chart instead of the dog.
A process designed for the food —
not the dog.
