small dog breed , does kibble size matters ?
Yes , does size really matters ?
I have a coworker that has 2 Maltese dogs , he's been feeding Hill's Prescription diet T/D (small bites) or course , buying his food at the vet , he thought this was good food. He brought me the ingredients label : rice,corn,chicken by-product .... so I explained to him what those ingredients were and he's asked me to find something better ... do these smaller dogs need smaller size kibble ? I don't know what to suggest to him , there's so many better brands but would have to be available in his area (I think Chambly , Québec) help ! |

Wellness just came out with a new small breed food that I've recently started to see in stores:

as long as the kibble isnt bigger than their head I really dont think that would matter much. I mean there are many small dogs ( ie chi's ) who are managing to eat raw diets not ground up as it is so much better for their teeth in the long run.
perhaps if the dogs were gulpers then I would be concerned about them not chewing it properly, but most small dogs I have seen eat have taken their sweet time doing so.

I just checked it out and there's none close to where he lives. Unless you live near Montreal , it's hard to get premium food here.

Hey Frenchy what about Orijen? its a great food! lots of people using it! and it may help with telling the person there is no grain, no gluten, no byproducts and that it is 75% meat 25% fruits & veggies? heres the link to the store locator? no idea where you are vs the stores?
Cindy Oh and the kibble is not large so it wont matter! http://www.championpetfoods.com/orij...reListing.aspx

I have a shih tzu and I feed her puppy Orijen and have every intention to feed her orijen for small breeds when she is done with the puppy stuff. It's great food and I haven't had any issues with it so far.
Well wait, her poop really smells,, guess most poop does :-)

Thanks Winston , I will ask him if he would be willing to drive to Ste-Julie because they seem to carry some of those brands. If not I think I will just refer him to Kirkland food

There's a lack of store carrying the good brands over here. Not everyone is ok with driving 30-45 minutes to buy dog food. |

That is why I love the Kirkland food , it's easy for me to get , it did went up from 20.99 to 27.99 within a few weeks but it still very cheap versus the other ones. I'm feeding 18.5 cups of kibble a day now (and that's only the dogs)
