I love Artemis Fresh Mix Small Breed Puppy. It's a 5 star rated kibble. It works great for my 4 month old girl who is very picky when it comes to kibble. I thought about Orijen, but IMO the protein level (40%) is really high for little dogs and it's better suited for larger breeds, in comparison to the 28% protein level in Artemis. The protein level is also lower than most other brands mentioned. Acana is 33%, but the meat content in Acana is lacking in my opinion. Innova and Merrick look good too. I haven't tried those, but the ingredients look pretty decent. The nice thing with Merrick is that you have a wet option too. If you email Artemis they will ship you samples to try and a large amount of samples too. They are very very generous. I got about 2 months supply of samples (25, 3 oz bags)!!
