| Innova puppy food Hi Everyone! I have been doing alot of research on puppy food. I decided to purchase the Innova puppy food. The problem is the kibbles are soooo big. My puppy doesn't seem to want to eat it. She has no problem going after my 7 year old yorkies BilJac food. Which I am going to switch to Innova for her as well once she finishes the bag. BilJac kibbles seem so much easier to break and chew for the puppy so I can see why she would eat it. Does anyone else have this problem with the Innova kibbles? If so do you grind them up so they are smaller? Please any help would be great. I really really want to feed Innova to my dogs because I know it is the best for them. Please help?? Thanks so much!!

| The Quick Chop Hi, you should try the Quick Chop. I have one that I chop my iguanas broccoli, coliflower, and carrots with. It is so much easier and a heck of alot faster than using a knife. Just throw some Kibbles in there, press down on the chopper with a slight twist once or twice until its the right size and vu ala, small bite size kibbles!!! Heres the site I got mine from, http://www.we-save.com/quick-chop_a.htm and trust me they dont get cheaper than 9 bucks. But if you dont want to buy online try Wal-Mart, target or Walgreens!! Well hope this helps!! |

| Hi Michelle. How old is your puppy? Jo eats Innova and he loves it. I did notice him having trouble breaking the pieces a couple weeks ago but he's teething so I thought his mouth might be sore. Innova doesn't have canned puppy food so I bought him some Wellness canned puppy food to suppliment and make sure he was getting enough to eat. Now that he's doing better I mix the hard food in with the soft so he gets both again. You might try softening the Innova in some warm water and see if that helps or you can just break the pieces up a bit. |

| when I first started feeding Innova to my little Oreo, he did not want that at all and would want to eat junk rather than the Innova. Later I tried wetting the Innova, and he ate it just fine.. I know they are a little big, but even my 10 week old eats them with no trouble (and the funny thing is, she barely has teeth ) i think just give it a while for your pup to get used to it. I'm going to be putting my kids on Innova EVO because i heard they were smaller bites. Good luck and good choice for going with Innova |

| Great food.. I have been feeding Wysong Anergen for 2 months now. The size is not much better than Royal Canin-but it's a wonderful food. Ralphie was only 2 lbs when I got him He really likes this food, and he is now 3.5 lbs at almost 6 months. I got mine from a good pet store, but I notice that Hi Health Health Food Store is now carrying it. Also found it on line. I give it 3 up!

| I recently changed to Wysong and Sophie loves it. The kibbles are small and I wet it a bit before I feed her. |

| Kodah (19 weeks) & Stormy (15 weeks) are eating the Innova EVO (which is a little smaller) & both doing fine with it. When Kodah was about a pound at 14 weeks, she would just swallow her Royal Canin food whole . |
