Little Kibbles: Why We Made our Lucy Pet Foods™ Formulas for Small Breed Dogs
Lucy Pet Foods™ Small Bites Duck, Pumpkin and Quinoa formula uses our advanced P.B.F. Prebiotic Balanced Fiber™ to produce an optimal environment in the digestive tract for improving gut health and wellness in small breeds. Our dry food for smaller dogs is smaller than our regular formulas as it’s made with the size of the dog’s jaw in mind. Our P.B.F. formulation is based on 40 years of research and studies by one of the top scientists in animal nutrition, Dr. George C Fahey.
Dogs and duck go great together, which is why the number one ingredient in our Small Bites Duck, Pumpkin, and Quinoa Formula is quality duck meat from France and the United States. This formula also contains chickpeas (rich in protein and complex carbohydrates, including starches and fibers), delicious pumpkin (a nutritional powerhouse featuring fiber that helps aid in healthy digestion) and quinoa (a premium, digestible seed rich in protein and essential amino acids).
This grain-free formula offers a superfood blend of antioxidants and our proprietary prebiotic fiber blend to support a healthy immune system. Our food is also naturally preserved, includes all the important vitamins and minerals, and does not contain any ingredients from China.
Little Kibble for Better Nutrition
Lucy Pet Formulas for Life™ is formulated with the proper nutrition for small breeds. Even though they require less food, toy breeds have fast metabolisms and require a nutritious diet to ensure that they stay as healthy as possible and can enjoy the best quality of life. Lucy Pet Formulas for Life™ nourishes your small breed dog’s total health, naturally. Lucy Pet Formulas for Life™ is guided by science and verified nutritional research, using natural ingredients. We’re not based on trendy fads or marketing hype. We actually care about what’s best to help your pet live a long healthy life. Every Lucy Pet kibble is designed to contain all the essential nutrients required to live and be healthy.
When transitioning your small breed dog to our higher fiber diet, some noticeable changes in stool value may occur. This reflects a healthier digestive tract. We recommend that transitioning to Lucy Pet foods be done over a five-day period.
As your small dog is consuming a higher fiber diet, it’s normal to observe an increased consumption of drinking water on a regular basis. Water is very important to overall health. Be sure that a bowl of fresh water is always available to your pet.
What Makes Lucy Pet The Best Grain-Free Duck-Based Dog Food for Small Breeds?

Premium duck combined with a complex carbohydrate superstar, chickpeas, for added protein, starch, and fiber. Our grain-free salmon formula also contains pumpkin, sourced from the USA, a delicious nutritional powerhouse featuring fiber that helps aid in healthy digestion.
Our Grain-Free Duck Dog Food for small breeds is smaller than our regular formulas as it’s made with the size of the dog’s jaw in mind. Smaller breeds can be more prone to digestion issues, and even dental problems, so feeding a diet specific to them can help manage these difficulties.
