Is the kibble small enough for a small dog?

I use Newman's Senior for a 90 pound 12y Golden, but the piece sizes are under 1/2" triangle x 1/8" thick. I have never had a small dog, so I cannot add a 'small breed' that I have experienced enjoying the food, but cannot imagine pieces this small being difficult for any dog to crunch up and swallow. I recommend buying the 12.5 pound bag as it is direct from Amazon & Prime if that is of benefit to you (my experience is that buying from Amazon direct is a better guarantee of getting Fresh food, as there was a problem with freshness at some point, but the reviewers didn't mention Where they had purchased the product, and Amazon Refuses to distinguish between Amazon purchase or some-other-offer-Through-Amazon. Good Luck!

We have a 15 lb. Lhasa Apso and this food was definitely small enough for him to eat. He has a sensitive tummy and we had much fewer upsets with this dog food and he really liked it.

I bought this and I would say it's intended for smaller dogs. A big dog would drink the water too fast and go thirsty. The bowl is just the right size for dog food for dogs under 20 pounds.

The Hills Science Diet large breed adult kibble is good size. I have a 90lb lab and he crunches it up before swallowing. Hope this helps!

Hi Barb,The kibble is 2 cm long and 1 1/2 cm wide. It is shape like a letter S. Hope this helps.

I believe it is the same as the small bag. My yorkie is 11 years old and this is the only dog food he has ever eaten. To save money I always buy the 10 pound bag.

It is a fine food for all sizes of dogs! The kibble pieces are very small -- small enough that even my cats like to munch on it. It is a good quality food, and that means one doesn't need to feed as much as a cheaper brand. A 75 pound dog eats maybe three cups per day split over two meals.

We use smaller kibble, Taste of the Wild, and it's almost too small. I don't think it would be very useful for the large size kibble, you'd have to refill it several times to get a reasonable portion size. But the medium to small sizes work very well. I'm not sure of diameter measurements, at a guess I'd day you don't want to go any bigger than the size of a dime.

My dog is a 65lbs Dalmatian and the kibble is not too big for him. I catch my 8 month old cat chomping done my dog's food and he manage to eat it okay. Irecommend buying the smallest bag and trying it, before buying a bigger bag.

If they are the little kibbles there should be no problem. It is very handy.

The kibble is a flat triangle. It's about the size of a Cheerio or smaller. We switch back and forth between Wellness Core and Wellness Supermix. One has a kibble that was even smaller. My dogs are small, too. One is around 8 lbs and a chi/poodle/pug mix with an underbite. The other is an oversized chihuahua.

It is just a tiny bit smaller, the adult size is still pretty small that puppies have no problem eating it. I had a mini daschund that weighed 2 pounds and she ate the puppy formula just fine.

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.

Bichon's are a sweet dog. This kibble is not a toy breed tiny size but is a a smaller med size. Definitely not a large kibble size. My sister has a Maltese and she constantly sneaks into my feeding area and chows down until caught. We catch her by the loud crunch crunch she makes during her feast. The kibble measures 1/4 inch circumference and is near flat so it crunches/crumbles easy. If your fur children have decent teeth they will do fine with it.

Its small about the size of a corn nut. We feed our 60 lb Boxer, 5 lb Chihuahua and 20 pound terrier with it.

,Yes. I have a 90LB. Female Akita so I can only say that the Kibble is small. When a dog food size is marketed , they usually will say if it comes in different size's for the smaller dogs.

The small kibble should be fine for the larger dog, just feed the same amount that you would've for the larger kibble

As long as they are not gaining weight with the amounts you are providing them you should be good to go. I add a little Wellness canned turkey to my pom and papillons meals with a little warm water and they love it. This is such a great dog food for small breeds.
