Eukanuba WM Weight Management Dry Dog Food for Weight Management in Small Breeds, 4-lb bag, with chicken

This 4-lb bag of dry dog food for weight management is Eukanuba's small breed formula, and it carries 41% less fat than Eukanuba Adult Small Breed. The bag holds 1.81 kg (4 lb) of kibble, and the brand sets the formula for small breed dogs over 12 months old that weigh up to 23 lbs. Chicken is the first ingredient on the list.

Does this food suit your dog?

Two limits decide it. According to the brand, this formula suits dogs that weigh up to 23 lbs and small breed dogs older than 12 months. A dog above that weight falls outside the stated range, and so does a puppy under a year.

The bag is a single 4-lb pack that weighs 1.81 kg, so it is the smallest format in this line rather than a multi-bag bundle. Check your dog's current weight on a scale before you choose it.
