Do you offer suitable food options for small dog breeds?

Small dog breeds have unique nutritional requirements due to their fast metabolisms and small stomachs. At Petbarn, we stock high-quality, nutrient-dense foods specifically formulated for small breeds. These foods often contain higher levels of protein and calories to support their energy needs, as well as smaller kibble sizes to accommodate their small mouths.

What types of toys are suitable for my small dog?

Chew toys, soft plushies and interactive toys can provide mental stimulation and cater to their natural instincts.
