"No smaller kibble. Did you ever get bit by a 2 pound puppy? They have very

kibble and small breed dogs like large and small kibble.

WOW
. This says a lot to me.
My answer to Dr. Bicks would be:
"Did you ever see a 2 pound dog CHOKE on a regular size kibble? Because behind those 'very sharp teeth', are very small throats."
Seriously - that comment by Dr. Bicks was not only ignorant, imo, but downright snarky/snotty
.
Anyone remember when Stedman's Mommy's Tatum almost died choking on kibble (not to mention other members' kiddos)? So yeah, there *is* a reason why some breeds/dogs may do better on smaller kibbles. Also, maybe Dr. Bicks has forgotten (?) that canines mostly gulp their food, when able.
