Smallbatch Introduces Rabbit Freeze-dried Small Bites For Dogs

(PRESS RELEASE) Smallbatch, a leader in responsibly sourced whole food nutrition for pets, is expanding its freeze-dried lineup with the launch of Rabbit Freeze-Dried Small Bites for Dogs, a novel, single-source protein recipe offering complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs.

Made with 85% humanely raised rabbit, organ and bone, Rabbit Small Bites offer complete and balanced nutrition in a convenient, scoopable format. The recipe pairs rabbit with certified organic, non-GMO produce, including spinach, broccoli, carrots and butternut squash, providing pet parents with a whole food option made without grains or fillers. Available in 7-ounce and 20-ounce bags, the shelf-stable, scoopable bites can be rehydrated for a complete meal or added as a nutritious topper.

“We’re always looking for thoughtful ways to give pet parents more variety,” said Steve Donzelli, CEO of Smallbatch. “Rabbit is a great novel protein for dogs who need something different, and we’re excited to offer it in an easy, convenient format without compromising the ingredient quality we care so much about.”

As a novel protein, rabbit offers another option for dogs with sensitivities and those following elimination diets. Its addition also makes it easier for pet parents to incorporate greater protein variety through rotational feeding while maintaining the convenience of a freeze-dried format.

Rabbit joins Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Duck and Lamb in the Smallbatch Freeze-Dried Small Bites line. The recipes feature humanely raised meats and certified organic produce in easy-to-serve, scoopable bites designed to make whole food feeding convenient at home or on the go.

Rabbit Freeze-Dried Small Bites for Dogs will be available at independent neighborhood pet retailers nationwide in October 2026.
