The everyday small-breed food. Most Minis need nothing cleverer.
Small dogs live long and eat little, which sounds easy and isn't. A Mini in good condition might be on 60 g a day — so two biscuits off the table is a tenth of her intake, and the weight arrives without anyone noticing it happen.
Protein at 27% with fat held to 16% is a straightforward everyday balance for a dog whose exercise is a walk and a garden. L-carnitine at 50 mg/kg helps her use fat for energy rather than storing it, EPA and DHA at 2.5 g/kg keep the coat in condition, and the small kibble is shaped to make her chew — small breeds get dental disease earlier and worse than big ones, and chewing is the cheapest thing working against it. For dogs from ten months to eight years with an adult weight between 1 and 10 kg.
Dehydrated poultry protein, maize, maize flour, animal fats, maize gluten, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), wheat, hydrolysed animal proteins, rice, beet pulp, minerals, fish oil, soya oil, yeasts and parts thereof, fructo-oligo-saccharides.

Preservatives. Antioxidants. RSA guaranteed analysis (g/kg): crude protein min 250 · moisture max 110 · crude fat min 140 · crude fibre max 23 · crude ash max 63. Registered under Act 36/1947.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Weigh her food rather than scooping — on a dog this size the difference between a level and a heaping measure is a real percentage of her day. You should be able to feel her ribs easily under a thin covering and see a waist from above. Get her teeth checked yearly; small breeds need it.

A guide, not a rule. Most Minis in a house with a garden are Low or Medium. Split across two meals, and if you're giving treats take the equivalent off her bowl. Fresh water, always.
