Pedigree Small Breed
Pedigree's small breed range covers dry food, dental chews and treats specifically sized and portioned for smaller dogs, rather than a scaled-down version of the standard adult range. The kibble and treat pieces are genuinely smaller, which matters more than it might sound for a dog with a correspondingly smaller mouth and jaw.
What makes it a 'small breed' range rather than just smaller packaging
The main difference in Pedigree's small breed products is kibble and treat size, formulated to suit a smaller dog's mouth and chewing pattern rather than simply being a smaller bag of the standard adult recipe. Dental treats in the range are similarly scaled down, aimed at cleaning teeth that are proportionally smaller too.
Nutritionally, the small breed dry food follows a similar approach to Pedigree's wider adult range — a complete, everyday formula rather than a specialist or premium one — with the size adjustment being the main thing that sets it apart, alongside calorie density suited to a smaller dog's needs.
What we stock, and how to choose
Our range includes Pedigree's small breed dry food, dental chews and treats, shown in the grid above based on current stock. If your dog is towards the smaller end of what counts as a small breed, check the specific product for a stated weight range to make sure it is the right fit rather than assuming any small breed label applies equally.
Small breed dental treats work in the same mechanical way as their larger counterparts — chewing action helping to reduce plaque build-up — just sized appropriately, so there is no reason to give a small dog a standard-size dental chew if a small breed version is available.
Who this range suits
This is a practical, everyday choice for an owner with a small dog who wants a straightforward, widely available food and treat range rather than a specialist premium or grain-free option. It suits most healthy small dogs well, without being aimed at a particular sensitivity or condition.
A dog with a diagnosed food sensitivity or a specific dietary need should be fed what a vet has actually recommended rather than a general small breed range, whatever the size on the label. For most small dogs without a specific issue, though, it is a sensible everyday option.

Common questions
- What makes Pedigree Small Breed different from regular Pedigree food?
- The main difference is kibble and treat size, formulated to suit a smaller dog's mouth, along with calorie density suited to a smaller dog's needs. The overall nutritional approach is similar to Pedigree's standard adult range rather than being a completely different formulation.
- Is Pedigree Small Breed suitable for puppies?
- Pedigree's small breed range is generally aimed at adult dogs, so check for a specific puppy formula if your dog is still growing. A puppy has different nutritional needs from an adult small breed dog, even if both are small in size.
- Do small breed dental chews actually work better for small dogs?
- They work the same way as standard dental chews, using chewing action to help reduce plaque, but sized to suit a smaller mouth and jaw. A standard-size dental chew can be awkward or unsafe for a small dog to manage properly, so a correctly sized one matters.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the whole Pedigree Small Breed range?
- No, we stock a selection based on current availability, shown in the grid above. Pedigree makes a wider small breed range than any single retailer typically carries in full.
