Piccolo Specialist Nutrition for Small Dogs – Chicken & Duck, 750g

Piccolo Chicken & Duck Small Breed Dog Food – 750g

The 750g bag is the trial size. Changing a small dog's food is a fortnight's work done properly — a spoonful mixed in, then a little more each day — and there is no sense buying 1.5kg of something the dog may turn down on day three. Half a kilo and a bit is enough to get all the way through a changeover and see how the dog does on it.

It is the same chicken and duck small-breed kibble as the larger bag, just less of it. The 750g size also suits a household that feeds Piccolo occasionally rather than daily, or anyone who wants a bag small enough to take away for a weekend. Our store code for this one is 1006076.

Performance & Benefits

• 750g bag — enough to complete a gradual seven to ten day changeover on a small dog.
• Same small-breed chicken and duck kibble as the 1.5kg bag.
• Light and compact enough to pack for a weekend away or a stay with a sitter.
• Opens and reseals without decanting, and finishes before it has time to go stale.
• A low-cost way of finding out whether a fussy dog will actually eat it.

Suitable For

• Trying the recipe before committing to the 1.5kg bag.
• Small and toy breed adult dogs.
• Travel, holidays, and leaving food with a sitter or kennels.
• Feeding a very small dog where even 1.5kg takes months to get through.
• Not an economical everyday choice for a household feeding it long term — the 1.5kg bag costs less per kilo.

Feeding

• Introduce over seven to ten days, replacing a little more of the old food each day.
• Feed the daily amount on the bag for your dog's weight, divided between two meals.
• Weigh each meal rather than eyeballing a scoop.
• Watch the droppings through the changeover; loose stools mean the switch is going too fast.
• Fresh clean drinking water at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Canagan's own Piccolo Chicken & Duck page could not be reached when this page was written, so no composition or analytical constituents are reproduced here. The declaration on the 750g bag is the source to use.
• The 75% chicken and duck claim carried in earlier copy could not be verified against anything Canagan publish that we could reach, and has not been repeated.
• No protein, fat, fibre or ash figure is given here, for the same reason.
• 750g bag. Store code 1006076, barcode 5029040024383.
