We are fostering a tiny little male (4 lb) who has just been "sprung" from an Amish puppy mill. He had to have all of his teeth extracted about 10 days ago. Despite this, he still prefers kibble to soft food. I suppose because that is what he is accustomed to. The vet who neutered him and did his dental work recommended Nutro "small breed adult" formula. He likes it, and readily eats it.

The only problem is that my Yorkie, Wendell, has a chicken allergy, which causes diarrhea and vomiting. I give my dog a combination of dry and canned "Taste of the Wild" Pacific Stream formula. The foster dog is interested in it, but the kibble is just too big for his little mouth. He takes a piece, carries it around and then drops it.

I feed them separately, and can continue that practice, but in the interest of making my morning routine a little easier, I have a question.

Does anyone know of a kibble that is the same size as the Nutro Small Breed Adult, but that does not contain any chicken?
