What they share
What small and designer breeds have in common
Coats that need care
Many small and designer breeds have long or curly coats. Fish oil in every Loyal Saints formula provides EPA and DHA, which support normal skin and coat.
Small mouths
Mini nibs about ¼ × ⅜ of an inch — bite-sized, easy to crumble, and quick to soften in warm water.
Picky palates
Real meat and organs, freeze-dried without cooking, keep the aroma picky dogs respond to.
Tiny portions
Nutrient-dense food means small, precise portions — and a bag that lasts.
