Mini breed dogs tend to be more energetic than medium and Large breed dogs. That is due to their higher than normal metabolism rate and energy levels. Protein and fat levels need to be high to provide ample energy and muscle growth. The amino acids Taurine and L-Carnitine also play an important role in maintaining lean muscle mass and healthy metabolism. Glucosamine and chondroitin are also needed to support their joints which are stressed more due to the high activity levels mini breeds have in comparison to larger sized dogs. To cater for their sensitive stomach, we have used fish proteins in all of our Mini Breed recipes, as fish is the easiest protein to digest. Enhancing that is the inclusion of our Pure Care digestive formula consisting of prebiotics, probiotics and Clay Minerals which aid digestion and prevent digestive upsets. Ambrosia Fresh Salmon & Chicken is a superior grain free kibble that is offering optimal nutrition for all breeds of dogs.
