U Ask: Can small dog eat big dog food.
Your Papillon, Phalene, or any other Toy Breed, can eat dog food , made for larger breed of dogs, but it is advisable to give him kibbles made for his small mouth and tummy.
Here are the reasons why:
Toy, and small breeds in general have much larger energy requirements (per pound of body weight), than their medium + large brothers.
The energy requirements for your Papillon, or small breed puppy is 2-4 times higher than of it's adult version.
Puppies, especially in their first 6 months, also need more minerals and protein in their diet, for their bone + teeth development.
Small dogs have small stomachs, but they need to eat large amounts of food in relation to their size/ body weight. They need small meals, given several times / day, to fulfill these requirements.
Kibbles, in bite -size, is the best dog food for our small companions.

You ask: Are Papillons, Phalenes sensitive to vaccinations, puppy shots.
You asking about the sensitivity in Papillons to vaccinations, or puppy shots.
Papillons, and Phalenes are no different than any other toy breeds.
Puppy vaccinations have saved many of lives, but there are some puppies that will have allergic reactions to a vaccines.
The risk of a puppy catching a disease, followed by death is much, much higher, than the chance of having a reaction to a vaccination.
Papillons, and Phalenes are no different than any other toy breeds.
The most common reaction generally just makes the puppy feel listless for a couple of days but in a rare case they can have an anaphylactic shock.
The signs of anaphylaxis include vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, pale gums, weak pulse, facial swelling, a fast heart rate and cold limbs.
The risk of a puppy catching a disease, followed by death is much, much higher, than the chance of having a reaction to a vaccination.
