Why Lucy won't eat Canidae - Help - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think I've figured out why Lucy will not eat the Canidae. She has been on RC Small Breed Puppy from the beginning. I have tried her on the Canidae several times but last night I really watched her and it's just too big for her. She is very used to tiny kibble.

So...What are my options? I know the high quality foods out there but do any of you know which ones have tiny kibble that she can eat? I really need to switch her since I think the RC is causing her allergies...

Happy Friday

Just a Wee Bit is very tiny and is what my westie eats. I will be transitioning Crickett to this food when she comes home so both will be on the same food. It is a great food and Turbo (who is VERY picky) LOVES it without me adding stuff to it. He also didn't like the Canidae! Good Luck!!

Phoebe didn't like her canidea at first so I started mix it with a little ck breast and she like it, I also home cook for her and give her some honest kitchen mix with meat and her kibble she like that, but since we got Shayna (her sister) who is a

now she eat the kibble by it self during the day because if not Shayna will eat it, Shayna loves all kind of food l

What kind of canidae are you feeding? The all-life stage formula we feed is pretty tiny kibble.

If it is too big, you can try crushing it. I have to do that with Jack's prescription food. I'm a guy, so I do it the most difficult way possible. I put it in a plastic bag and bang it with a hammer until it's broken up. But I'm sure there are easier ways.

Funny you should bring this up tonight. I tried NOT crushing Jack's food tonight. (My wife said he can eat it without it being broken up.) All of the sudden he starts barking. I walked in there. He grabbed a big piece of kibble in his mouth and dropped it on the floor in front of me.

I got the hint.

Poor Jack! How could you try to make him eat big kibble!

OP, I feed canidae to one of mine (always thought it was pretty small) and Pinnacle to the other two. (same size as canidae). Wow, I don't think I've ever seen any smaller kibble.

Good luck! Sounds like crushing it may be in order.
