We also like that Wellness Core fish-based kibble that you're using! Teddy's coat was really great on that food!
If your pup is chewing the larger kibble, I wouldn't worry so much about whether it's too big or not. On the other hand, if your pup was vacuuming the food up, choking might be more of an issue to watch out for. I don't think it could hurt to switch to a small breed formula if you feel more comfortable with the kibble size though. A lot of times, those small breed formulas are a little higher in fat and protein (if not the same as the regular formulas) and just have a smaller size kibble which can be beneficial depending on your dog.
Just monitor your pup during meals and you should be fine...it sounds like he's doing a pretty good job with the larger kibble...I also remember thinking that the Wellness Core kibbles were kinda big when I fed it for the first time but I also think the blocky wedge shape kinda helps slow down the rate of eating...at least it seemed that way when I was feeding Toki the Wellness Core Reduced Fat. Toki used to get really small, flat kibbles caught in her throat and cough them back up because she would eat so fast...for this reason, I avoided small breed kibbles for her. Anyway, it just depends! I know several small dogs that do well with larger kibbles. |
