Small dogs under 10 kg and PAWER: how the dose works

Dogs under 10 kg can use PAWER Daily, because the dose follows body weight: 1.7 ml per 10 kg per day. A 5 kg dog gets a small measure. It is a daily routine, not a medicine, and puppies and dogs on medication need a vet first.

Typical adult weight: 1 to 10 kg

At 1 kg0.2 ml a day
At 10 kg1.7 ml a day

Breed standards give ranges. Your dog may be lighter or heavier, so weigh your dog and use that number.

Who counts as a small dog

Here we mean adult dogs under about 10 kg. Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, many Dachshunds and plenty of mixed breeds sit in this range. Small dogs often have long lives and are commonly watched closely by their owners: weight, teeth, energy, coat.

PAWER Daily is a daily liquid supplement for dogs, sold as complementary feed. It is not a medicine. It does not treat, cure or prevent any disease.

How the daily amount follows weight

The rule is simple: 1.7 ml per 10 kg of body weight per day. The syringe is marked in ml, so you read the number off the barrel.

Two examples:

5 kg dog: 5 ÷ 10 × 1.7 = 0.85 ml a day.
8 kg dog: 8 ÷ 10 × 1.7 = 1.36 ml a day.

Weigh your dog on a proper scale. For a small dog, a few hundred grams changes the sum. The dose finder on the site does the maths for you.

What small dog owners commonly ask

Size. Small does not mean a different product. It means a smaller measure. The eight ingredients are NMN, PQQ, CoQ10 (PureSorb Q40), methylfolate, fisetin, isoquercetin, inulin and vitamin B12, the same for every dog.

Age. PAWER is not for puppies under one year. Ask a vet first. Adults can start once the vet agrees. Older small dogs are often on other medicines, so the vet conversation matters more, not less.

Measuring. Tiny doses leave little room for error. Draw up slowly, check the mark at eye level, and do not top up from memory.

Honest limits

The ingredients have mostly been studied in people and lab animals. We do not claim any study of PAWER itself. Nobody can promise results, and your dog may show no visible change. What we can say is what is in it, how to dose it, and what has and has not been tested. Read more in does it work?.

Speak to your vet first if

your dog takes any medication
your dog has a health condition
your dog is pregnant or nursing
your dog is under one year old
you are unsure about anything, including the right amount

Questions people ask

Is PAWER Daily too strong for a tiny dog?

The dose is scaled to body weight, so a small dog gets a proportionally small measure. Use the syringe marked in ml and never round up. If your dog is very small, a puppy, or on medication, ask your vet before starting.

What if my dog weighs less than 5 kg?

The same rule applies: 1.7 ml per 10 kg. Very small dogs need very small measures, which is harder to get right. Check the number with your vet first, and use the dose finder on the site.

Do small dogs need a different product?

No. There is one PAWER Daily for dogs. Only the amount changes with weight. It is the same eight ingredients for every size. Your vet can advise on your own dog.

My small dog is a fussy eater. Will that matter?

It can. Owners of small dogs often mention fussiness. The liquid can go over food, but a dog that skips meals needs a vet's attention, not a supplement. Raise it at the next check.

Is it for puppies of small breeds?

No. PAWER is not for puppies under one year. Small breeds can look grown up early, but ask your vet when your dog is old enough and whether it suits them.
