๐Ÿพ Best Food for Japanese Chin Dogs

The Japanese Chin is a small, elegant companion breed that needs the right nutrition to stay healthy and happy. Because of their small size and sensitive digestion, choosing the right food is very important.


✅ What to Look For in Food

  • Small Breed Formula – Smaller kibble size & higher calories per bite

  • High-Quality Protein – Real meat (chicken, lamb, salmon) as the first ingredient

  • Balanced Nutrition – Healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals for skin, coat, and energy

  • Easy to Digest – Limited fillers, avoid artificial additives


๐Ÿฅฉ Recommended Foods

  • Royal Canin Small Breed Adult

  • Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws

  • Blue Buffalo Life Protection Small Breed

  • Wellness CORE Grain-Free Small Breed

  • Merrick Lil’ Plates Small Breed

  • Natural Balance L.I.D. Small Breed (for sensitive stomachs)


๐Ÿฒ Wet Food & Toppers (for Picky Eaters)

  • Nutro Ultra Small Breed Wet Food

  • Weruva or Tiki Dog Wet Foods

  • Bone broth toppers for extra flavor and hydration


⚠️ Foods to Avoid

  • Cheap foods with corn, soy, or by-products

  • Excessive treats (causes weight gain)

  • Toxic foods: onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, chocolate


๐Ÿ’ก Quick Tip

Feed your Japanese Chin 2–3 small meals per day instead of one large meal. This helps digestion and keeps their energy steady.

Midnight

Midnight’s Story ๐Ÿพ
We found Midnight—along with a few other kittens—in the garage one day. They were lying in motor oil, completely covered and in rough shape. My daughter-in-law gently brought them inside and cleaned them up with lots of care. One of them was named Dusty at first (though I’ll have to double-check!), and while they kept him for a little while, they eventually decided to give him to me.

He was a handful at first—but he quickly won my heart. I renamed him Midnight, and he became my shadow. I loved him deeply. For a while, we actually thought Midnight was a girl! He even wore pink... until we found out he was a boy ๐Ÿ˜„. He was neutered a few months later, and the pink wardrobe was officially retired.

At the vet, they estimated him to be quite old already, but we had a good idea of his age from when we found him. We believe he was born around June 29, 2016, so he just turned 9 years old this summer. Time has flown, but Midnight will always be my oily little garage kitten turned beloved companion.



Midnight

This is Midnight. We thought he was a girl, but when looking again, Nope, she was a Boy! He loved lying in this bucket, so I put a little blanket in there for him.

Dog Hairball Prevention & Care Guide 

Can Dogs Get Hairballs?
Yes ̶ but it’s rare compared to cats. Dogs don’t groom themselves as
much, but long-haired breeds or dogs that lick/chew excessively can swallow
enough hair to cause issues.

Prevention Tips
• Brush your dog’s coat several times a week (daily for long-haired breeds).
• Feed a balanced, fiber-rich diet to keep digestion moving smoothly. Fresh
water at all times helps prevent constipation.
• Check for allergies, fleas, or skin irritation that may cause constant licking.
Ask your vet about solutions if licking is due to anxiety.
• Professional grooming during heavy shedding seasons can prevent hair
buildup.

 Watch for Warning Signs
• Frequent gagging, coughing, or retching
• Vomiting hair, foam, or bile
• Loss of appetite or constipation
• Lethargy or signs of abdominal discomfort

Quick Tip
Most swallowed hair passes normally. A small “hairball” may come up with
vomit occasionally, but frequent problems could signal an underlying issue.
