Welcome to pets.ca .....your hound puppy is adorable.

As tenderfoot said, very few dogs actually chew their food so the size of the kibble doesn't matter. I have a lab that would inhale his food so I put a rubber kong in the middle of his dish to slow him down. You can also use an inverted bowl in the dish or else spread out his kibble on a baking pan.

A word of caution about adding water to the kibble .....if your dog doesn't eat it all at once then you will have to throw the remainder away as once the kibble is wet it is a breeding ground for bacteria.

Check out the food forum here for some good suggestions for a different brand. Also, two good websites for information are:

1. www.dogfoodproject.com (click on all the links on the left hand side of the page)

2. www.dogaware.com
