Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Yes the kibble is alittle bigger... But since he already likes the taste of Orijin then he should be fine. And if not then put some in a zipplock bag and "crush" them 2 time with a rolling pin. This will break them up alittle...

| Check the ingredient list. Sometimes the puppy formulas are a little higher in protein. But I have noticed the higher quality foods do not have that much variation between the puppy and adult formulas. Sure, the adult is probably designed to meet the average adult dog's needs best, but if yours is maintaining a better weight on the puppy formula and the protein % is within limits, I'd run it by the vet just to be safe but doubt that it will really be a problem for him. I usually feed an All Life Stage food -- so it is the same from weaning to old age. My breeder friend just gave me some samples of Solid Gold Wee Bits (it is all life stage). I am thinking of switching. It is very tiny kibble!

| Jezebel started eating Natures Variety when she was 2.5 lbs and she is now a very lean 11 lbs 14 oz. She had absolutely no problem with the kibble size when she was small, it is not as small as some I've seen, but it is by no means big, either. I've let her test some larger size kibble. In my experience, if they love the kibble, they'll work on it and find a way to eat it!
