Hi there. I would recommend feeding both, but make sure it's a diet made for small breed dogs and is high quality. There are a variety of brands available, some good ones are Royal Canin, Natural Balance, Taste of the Wild but you may also want to ask your vet's advice so they can make a recommendation based on your pet's needs. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
