Hear why Lyka’s experts recommend real food for Toy Poodles
"Natural anti-inflammatory ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids from sardines and fish oil promote healthy joint function and help manage inflammation. Switching to a diet formulated with real food can significantly support your dog’s mobility and vitality."
"Toy Poodles often struggle with skin conditions. Lyka’s real food meals incorporate skin-boosting nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and Vitamin E which are essential for optimum skin barrier function. By prioritising ingredients that also support gut health, Lyka helps maintain a balanced immune system, crucial for preventing skin flare-ups."

He impresses the vet
"Lyka has been so good for my active boy. He is turning 7 this year and the vet is always impressed with his overall health. Making the switch to Lyka has played a huge role in this!"
Kaitie and Chester
Lenny loves Lyka!
"Lenny loooves human food, especially chicken and beef, which is why we decided to put him on Lyka. Because he has dental issues, the soft food really works for him."
Gracia and Lenny
Great for sensitive stomachs
"My sweet golden girl loves Lyka and gets so excited when it’s dinner time. For me, it’s knowing she’s getting good quality food. Especially with her sensitive tummy."

Your Toy Poodle FAQs, answered
What's the best dog food for Toy Poodles with itchy skin?
If your Toy Poodle constantly licks themselves, gnaws their paws and tail, or has chronic ear infections, they may have a food sensitivity, allergy or intolerance. Allergies activate your dog’s immune system, which is mostly regulated by their gut microbiome. Lyka real food is designed to promote balance and diversity in your Toy Poodle’s microbiome, improve their immune function, and nourish their skin. Each ingredient is selected for its health benefits like anti-inflammatory spirulina, and omega-3 from fish oil. Lyka meals also include skin-loving zinc, omega-6 from safflower oil and vitamin E oil to boost their skin barrier.
Is Lyka suitable for Toy Poodles with joint issues?
The most common joint concerns in Toy Poodles are hip dysplasia and patellar luxation, which can be genetic and developmental conditions.
Lyka meals contain anti-inflammatory omega=3 fatty acids from fish oil and sardines, and superfood antioxidants to reduce painful swelling and minimise cell damage.
Your Toy Poodle’s meals are also custom portioned, helping them maintain a healthy weight to prevent additional joint-strain.
What’s the best dog food for my Toy Poodles teeth?
Dog food that’s high carbohydrates like potatoes, pasta, rice and wheat can contribute to a plaque build-up over time. If their teeth aren’t cleaned, it can lead to tartar which may need to be removed by your vet.
Lyka meals have a low glycaemic load to reduce plaque build-up. We also recommend a dental health routine including brushing your dog's teeth regularly to keep their pearly whites in top condition.
What should I feed my fussy Toy Poodle?
If your dog is a fussy eater, you’re not alone, it’s a common complaint amongst Toy Poodle parents.
Dogs have similar tastebuds to ours and a sensitive nose. Appeal to their senses and their appetite with our range high-protein meals: Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Turkey, Kangaroo and Fish – one for almost every day of the week!
There are several factors that can cause fussiness, like anxiety, food cravings, intolerances or allergies, and feeding too many treats. Help your dog enjoy dinner again with tried and tested tips from our Lyka community.
What should I feed my Toy Poodle puppy?
Puppies need nutrient-dense food to support their physical and mental growth at a healthy rate.
Contrary to popular belief, puppies don’t need special puppy food if their diet is already rich in nutrients and contains the right amount and balance of calcium and phosphorus, making Lyka the ideal food.
Lyka meals are custom portioned to suit your Toy Poodle puppy’s breed and growth milestones, so they get all the macro and micronutrients they need at each stage.
