That, I don't know. Is it the kibble size or the formula, or both, that limits it to size of pup/adult/senior? I read in another forum about an adult eating kibble quickly and the kibble getting stuck above the stomach causing a blockage.... vet's advice for that dog was canned for the rest of it's life. All I could get out of that is, every dog is different... and... for me.... I'm emphasizing, leaning towards, the tiniest of kibble for my 5 pound senior. Even Fromm's grain free is too big for my dog, and that is small, smaller than Orijin by far. I'm ok with a filler that is fibre, gentle, because it's reccomended for us humans to keep things moving. I'm ok with a higher volume of poo associated with fillers or gentle fiber as long as it shows a normal shape and consistency, moisture. Most of the time, I can't even see Gucci's from 10' away, need to wear my glasses more often. LOL When he was consistently eating Nature's Choice? Nutro Toy Senior, he had good volume and consistency... but he quit eating it and here we are, searching for a replacement. I liked what I saw in Wellness Complete Health Toy Senior but I don't know if it'll be our long term choice. It's been a tough sell with my, our, little guy. We're doing the add a few chicken pieces and broth to keep his interest up, a bit of shredded cheddar cheese at times... it's frustrating at this point... I hand fed him the last of the Orijin the other day, I think THAT caused a MAJOR set back.... he wouldn't eat it out of his bowl the last couple weeks, but he did eat it out of my hand.... We're still walking 3 miles a day most days... I see a little less energy but he is eating less... If I can just get him to eat more,,,, I'm hoping his energy will pick back up. I'm thinking it's time to cook up a batch of salmon for him... I'm soooo confused! LOL Ideally, he'd eat his 1/2 cup of kibble and get his treats of chicken from his momma. Heading out for a walk, have a great day!
