## Description

Modern science proves that your small breed dog shares the DNA of ancient canines, like the fox. Years of domestication and excellent care have turned your dog from a shrewd and wary hunter to a trusting best friend. Although their DNA remains the same and their tastes demand something of the wild, their diet should provide them with all the proper ingredients and nutrition they need to thrive. Highly digestible venison protein and small kibble size make this formula easy on your small breed dog’s tummy and teeth. Probiotics and prebiotic fiber help support healthy digestion, while a blend of venison, lamb, egg, duck and ocean fish proteins provide optimal amino acid nutrition. Rich in proteins and fat, this formula provides the energy that active small dogs need. Your dog craves a taste of the wild. Go ahead and give them one.

**Q: What makes this food better for small breeds? Is it just smaller kibble size or anything else?**
A: Small size and just a few ingredients.

**Q: Most recent order has a much smaller kibble. Did they change the formula??? My dog won't eat it.**
A: That one TOW flavor (Appalachian) is especially for small breed dogs (like my miniature poodle) because of the smaller kibble.  Check the description of the particular one you want to order -it should say if it is a small kibble. Amazon.com is always good about returns, so find a different flavor of TOW to try and return your order to swap  it out.

**Q: Is this AAFCO certified?**
A: Taste of the Wild Appalachian Valley Small Breed Canine Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

*by C***A on 30 November 2020*

Have the same brand and kind of dog food already compared it with this one looks very different in shape, color and even smell. I'm afraid to feed my dog and risk his health.
