Does Lily's Kitchen make a small breed dog food?

Not as a dedicated labelled range at the moment. Small dogs are generally fed from the same wet food range as other sizes, with the portion adjusted to their weight using the feeding guide on the individual pack.

Is wet food suitable as a main diet for a small dog?

Yes, wet food can be a complete and suitable main diet for dogs of any size, as long as it is labelled complete rather than a complementary treat, and fed in the right amount for your dog's weight and life stage.

How do I portion a tin or pouch for a small dog?

Check the feeding guide on the pack against your dog's actual weight rather than assuming one pack equals one meal. A genuinely small dog may only need part of a pack, with the rest kept refrigerated for the next meal within the time stated on the packaging.

Are Lily's Kitchen treats suitable for small dogs?

Generally yes — the treats and chew sticks in the range are a manageable size for smaller mouths, though it is worth checking the specific product and adjusting how often you offer them based on your dog's size and daily calorie needs.

Lily's Kitchen for small breed dogs

Lily's Kitchen does not currently make a recipe labelled specifically for small breeds. What the brand does offer is a wide range of wet meals, casseroles and natural treats, which suit small dogs perfectly well once you get the portion size right, rather than a size-specific formulation the way some dry food brands offer.

What Lily's Kitchen actually makes

The range is built almost entirely around wet food — tins, pouches and trays with recipes like casseroles, stews and pates — alongside natural treats, chew sticks and dental products, rather than a dry kibble range with size-specific formulas.

Puppy and senior life-stage recipes exist within that wet-food format, so a small breed puppy or an older small dog can still be matched to an appropriate life-stage recipe, just not to a small-breed-specific one.

Making a wet-food range work for a small dog

Because there is no dedicated small-breed portion size, the important thing is following the feeding guide on the specific pack by your dog's actual weight rather than assuming a standard tin or pouch is one meal regardless of size — for a genuinely small dog, that can mean splitting a pack across more than one meal or even more than one day, kept refrigerated between servings.

The treats and chew sticks in the range are generally a manageable size for smaller mouths, which makes them a straightforward part of the range to use for a small dog even without a size-specific main food.
