I feed natural balance sweet potatoes and venison Shelly. They are not huge but they aren't tiny either.

There are so many things that can cause CT, but I don't think swallowing kibble whole would be a big contributor. There are Yorkies without teeth who still eat kibble. Some dogs crunch every kibble and some swallow a lot of whole ones.
I was surprised to read that allergies can cause CT by damaging the throat. |
Bogie has symptoms when we walk with a harness even the buddy belt and choke free cause him to cough. He's just recently started coughing when he gets overly excited or has been playing hard.
I always thought it was just allergies until our vet heard him coughing in the office a couple of weeks ago.
