are these small little bites? I've noticed the small dog on the bag...I don't have a small dog and was just wondering if this dog food was for small dogs?

Hi Michelle, they are not necessarily "small bites". My dog who eats this food is 70 lbs.

They are on the small size...a little smaller than a dime in diameter...I have 4 big dogs...75lbs+ each and they eat it up!! =)

Each kibble is small; less than the size of a penny. But I give it to my adult dog who is 65 lbs and he likes it very much.

Yes, they are fairly small but my Pit (60 pounds) ate it just fine & it helped almost eliminate the lethal gas she was having !!

I bought the small one for my lab pup and it was perfect size, although I belibe there is one even smaller than the "small" sized one. Try the medium sized one, cause it won't matter so much the size as even if it is too big your dog will still be able to work on getting the treats out and can still chew on different ends of it.

Well, with dogs that small, it might be a toss-up. Their snouts are small, and they might just be able to get down into the ridges to get the food. The bowl is a little over 10" in circumference and the ridges are wide and vary in depth to over an 1-1/2". I'm thinking one of the other less intricate designs might work better....even for Otis. He's still not "chewing" the kibble, but it is taking him at lot longer to get it in his mouth and then swallow.

My yorkies are not picky about their food, I would recommend to buy a small bag first before buying the large bag.

hi, i just got these from the vet. my mini doxie just had her canine teeth pulled in december, and yes, she still eats these treats. she also has had 6 other teeth taken out, so, somehow, she can still work on these. the vet, highly recommended them. i have three dogs (10 yr old terrier, 8 yr old doxie and a puppy), they all trade off on these treats. the doxie usually will take the treat after it is worked on by the other dogs, but she does chew them.

these are a bit crunchy...would not recommend for a pup with few teeth..the Milos brand is pretty good and most of those treats are soft...hope this helps

I'm not sure what you mean by enough. These are snacks--given as a treat, not to be used as a meal. These snacks are larger than you'd give such a small dog, so you may want to break them into little pieces. My dogs weigh 50-60 lbs and this is a favorite treat!

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

Seems like a lot. I have a 10 lb min-pin/Chihuahua mix and she gets 1/3 cup total split over two meals. She really loves this food so I worry that she'll end up putting on weight if I feed her more. As another person mentioned, just keep a close watch on the weight to see if they're getting bigger.

Not my experience. I received a bag of primarily thin ones. My chewers gulped them down, so that was my first and last bag. There's also a 1-star reviewer stating they were square and too thick. When did you order your last bag? Were they all primarily square or various sizes? If I could get a bag of thick ones, I'd start buying these again.

No they should be fine eating it. I have 2 mutts both under 20#'s who eat it just fine and the kibbles are small so I think it would be good for even smaller breeds.

They are on the small side, shaped like a disc. A little smaller around than a dime and the thickness of 3 dimes stacked up. Fairly easy to break in half. I have golden retrievers and they eat ravenously, so I prefer these over larger chunks because they eat too fast and choke on big pieces. I would imagine a small breed would have no problem eating them.

Very small. My 12-13 lb. miniature Dachshund ate it with no problem...and my 65-70 lb. mixed breed prefers this one over the larger version. :)

I have a chihuahua and she manages the pieces very well. They are not teeny bites but be sure they'll chew em up easily. They are not rock hard like commercial foods, remember this is Orijen, the best dog food ever.

I would say Yes. My grown dog loves them too. But my neighbor just got a smaller dog (pup) and I actually gave them a bag, because I noticed that while I was holding it, he was constantly trying to chew on my hand with those little sharp teeth, so I thought a bag of those would be perfect for the puppy to chew on and not choke. But, as I have had many puppies and dogs, I always watch them when they are chewing on onesomething until they are finished. I never leave a pet alone with a chew bone.

I dont think this one is. You have to look for the bag that says "small bites". Thats what I buy for my yorkie. It says either small bites or small breed bites.

Yes this food is Miniature Schnauzer which we have and it the best dog food we have found it is ideal for small dogs, its great for his coat and his digestive system.
