These guidelines are recommendations only, and should be adjusted based upon your dog's health, body condition, life stage, sex, activity and climatic temperature.
Gradually transition by adding a small amount of American Journey to your dog's current diet, reducing the amount of the current diet and increasing the amount of American Journey for 7-10 days until the transition is complete. For sensitive dogs, we recommend a 10 - 14 day transition.

Crafted for Tiny Explorers
Even the smallest dogs are always ready for the biggest adventures. These recipes are crafted with increased levels of protein and fat to meet the higher energy needs of your small breed dog. Bring them the nutrition they need to keep exploring, wherever adventure leads next.
Always Real Protein First
American Journey Active Life recipes always start with protein. That means real, deboned salmon or chicken to provide dogs the delicious protein they crave, with the essential amino acids they need for lean muscles and everyday energy.
SALMON - Source of omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA.
CHICKEN - Lean source of essential minerals and B vitamins like niacin.
Nutrient-Packed Ingredients
Every ingredient is carefully selected for its nutritional value, including antioxidant-rich vegetables and whole grains. You won’t find any poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy or artificial preservatives on this list.
SWEET POTATOES
A healthy source of beta-carotene and other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.
CARROTS & PEAS
Rich in plant phytonutrients, beta-carotene and natural fibers to benefit digestion.
FLAXSEED & FISH OIL
Provide omega fatty acids to help maintain a healthy skin & coat.
BROWN RICE
A whole-grain, hearty source of complex carbohydrates for clean, sustained energy.
Designed for Smaller Bites
These kibble bits are specially designed for the smaller teeth and jaws of small-breed dogs. The bite-sized pieces are easier to chew and the crunchy texture works to scrub tartar as dogs eat to help support dental health.
Adventure-Ready Nutrition
Lean Muscles - Rich in animal protein to support lean mass, plus taurine for heart health.
Sustained Energy - Provides increased levels of protein and fat for everyday energy.
Skin & Coat Health - Balanced omegas to help maintain a radiant skin and coat.

My dog loves it!!
By Jinnette on Feb 11, 2021
I switched from Royal canine small dog because it was out-stock at the time and I didn’t want to wait and I came across this and decided to try. My dog loves it! He runs to his food bowl we he hears me fill it. He’s never been a enthusiastic eater. Happy furry baby happy parent!

Just the Right Size
By Jenny on Aug 17, 2020 Top 100 Contributor
I bought American Journey food before for my little pups but now they have a small breed recipe and I’m all about it—so are my two little Shih Tzus! Salmon is also a great alternative to switch it up for their taste buds! #ChewyTeamRated

Happy Little Yorkie
By Mimi on Jul 31, 2020
Chuiquita ate this food up I gave her a bowl for dinner to say I have never seen her so excited to eat before she’s an active 5 year old yorkie and to her this food is to die for!! She’s even was begging for seconds. I love the salmon recipe because the oils make her coat so shiny! #ChewyTeamRated

Salmon for small breed - nice!
By Bellababyboom on Aug 4, 2020
my 85-lb Rhodesian loves American Journey and this is great food but I’ve got a 6 year old Chihuahua and he always tries to eat from the same bowl as her - now he doesn’t need to be jealous and the kibble is his size. He loves the Salmon! #ChewyTeamRated
