Piccolo Specialist Nutrition for Small Dogs – Chicken & Duck, 1.5kg

Piccolo Chicken & Duck Small Breed Dog Food – 1.5kg

Piccolo is Canagan's small-breed line, and the chicken and duck recipe is the one most owners start on. The kibble is made small enough for a terrier or a toy breed to pick up and crunch without gnawing at it, which matters more than it sounds — a small dog offered a large kibble often swallows it whole or leaves it.

The 1.5kg bag is the everyday size: enough to last a 5kg dog well over a month, and small enough to finish before the fats in it start to go stale. Canagan list Piccolo Chicken & Duck in their UK dog food range alongside Piccolo Light/Senior. Our store code for this bag is 1006075.

Performance & Benefits

• Kibble sized for small breeds, so a small dog can pick it up and chew it properly.
• Chicken and duck recipe, the standard Piccolo adult formulation.
• 1.5kg bag, the size that turns over quickly enough in a one-dog household to stay fresh.
• Part of a range that also includes Piccolo Light/Senior for dogs on fewer calories.
• Dry complete food, so it can be measured accurately and left down for a short period without spoiling.

Suitable For

• Small and toy breed adult dogs.
• Dogs that pick at a larger kibble or bolt it whole.
• Households feeding one small dog, where a big sack would go stale before it was finished.
• Not a light or senior diet — Piccolo Light/Senior is the recipe Canagan make for a dog carrying weight or slowing down.
• Not for a dog on a veterinary elimination or prescription diet without your vet's agreement.

Feeding

• Feed the daily amount printed on the bag for your dog's weight, split across two meals.
• Change over gradually across a week, mixing an increasing proportion into the old food.
• Weigh the food rather than using a scoop. On a 5kg dog, a rounded scoop instead of a level one is a meaningful overfeed.
• Adjust up or down to keep the dog in condition; the guide on the bag is a starting point.
• Fresh clean drinking water at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Canagan's own product page for Piccolo Chicken & Duck could not be reached when this page was written, so their published composition and analytical constituents are not reproduced here. The full declaration is printed on the bag.
• Earlier copy on this page claimed 75% chicken and duck, sweet potato and added botanicals. That figure cannot be checked against anything Canagan publish that we were able to reach, so it is not repeated as fact.
• No protein, fat, fibre, ash or moisture figure is stated here for the same reason. Nothing has been carried over that we could not source.
• 1.5kg bag. Store code 1006075, barcode 5029040024406.
