ADVANCE Healthy Weight Small Adult is an Australian-made dry food for small and toy breed adult dogs that need to lose weight or maintain a healthy one. Chicken is the lead protein, paired with rice as the carbohydrate base. The kibble size is scaled for smaller jaws, and the formula is calorie-controlled without dropping the protein levels a small active dog still needs.

The recipe reduces fat content while keeping protein high enough to preserve lean muscle during weight loss. Highly digestible ingredients help with nutrient absorption on smaller meal portions, and the formulation includes the vitamins and minerals a mature small-breed dog needs for coat, joints and immune support. Made in Australia by a brand that has been formulating pet food locally for over 45 years.

Owners choose this when a small dog has started carrying extra weight but they don't want to switch to a bland restricted diet. The palatability of the chicken recipe means most dogs stay interested in mealtimes even on reduced portions.
