Anyone feed Halo? Or any other small kibble size? Trying to find a new food. Trying to find a small size kibble. Mickey swallows Acana whole. Tried Now! Grain Free Small Breed but they were not excited about it. |
I use Instinct Chicken. The size is small and Rosie does well with it. |
Fromm Surf and Turf is very small. |
I am in the process of switching to Wellness Super5Mix Just for Puppy |

I think you've got two little doggies wrapped around your paw :) They are probably going to do this pickyness thing with every food you try because they've learned the minute they stop eating, they get a new food. Believe me, I went thru it with Jackson. Eventually, I just decided he's going to eat... and it's been going good so far. We're still doing Acana and have been for over a year now, with a few different foods in between, but mainly Acana. He tired of it for a while, so I switched to Orijen, and once I was back to Acana, he loved it again. So that's why I switch flavors and/or brands after every bag to keep him interested. Granted, I'm still a dog nutrition nerd (LOL) so am always looking for new things to try that he's happy with. Of course it's nice to see them enjoying their food. I've always mixed with wet for this reason. I got sick of seeing dry food sitting in a bowl day after day. But small kibbles I know of - I consider NV pretty small. Fromm is teeny tiny. Natural Balance has a small bites. |
I'm feeding Go! Salmon and its pretty small. Morgan likes it better then the small breed formula |
I admit I freak out when they don't eat... I am wrapped-LOL It's like "What's wrong????? They are not eating!!!!" I feel like finding a food that is the one they love is my life half the time-LOL |
Morgan eats when she wants and sometimes she'll not eat for a day. I don't worry cause I know she'll eat when she's hungry enough. Food is always available. She's almost 5lbs at 5 years old and has never had a hypo episode. Dogs will not starve themselves. They will eat and drink when they are hungry/thirsty enough. I change Morgan's food up every bag or so to keep things interesting cause its not good to keep them eating the same thing all the time. She always eats whatever I give her. She sometimes goes 2 days without eating much. Again I don't worry. Dogs are used to this "fasting" period in the wild. Its good for their systems. |
I feed Nature's Variety. The kibbles are small and easy for the dogs to eat. It is an all life stages food and I've fed it to our last 2 puppies and they did fine on it. |
I rotate between Nature's Variety and Fromm's...both are tiny bites. |
I feed Go! Which is small pieces. |
Well this whole food thing is just a headache for me..lol..The things we do for our furkids is amazing..lol.. |

Speaking of food... LOL, has anyone tried the lamb flavor of Taste of the Wild? I kind of wrote TOTW off after I tried some of their canned food and Jackson had the runs. I'm almost certain the food was the culprit, but not entirely sure. Never tried the kibble though. We're going through our bag of Acana Prairie first but then I'll be looking for our second food for the rotation (since we are no longer doing Orijen). |
I bought a bag of Natural Balance Duck and Potato and mixed in it with Foxy's Royal Canin yesterday. It is the small bites, she picked out the NB and left the Royal Canin..lol.. |

They are really pushing Doctor's Finest "Great Life" at the store. Have any of you checked it out yet? http://www.doctorsfinest.com/ It looks good but I can't find many reviews yet. Like Halo it has no "meals" in it. Uses fresh meats. |
I was feeding Bella Halo. She started having some itchy episodes so I took her to the vet (she had chewed herself bald almost in one spot :eek:) and they suggested I switch her food. So 2 weeks ago we switched to Natural Balance LID. I mix the NB wet (Duck and Potato) with the dry. Fingers crossed! So far, so good! :thumbup: My girl also tires quickly it seems to a certain flavor of food. I start freaking out if she wants to skip a meal! It's all so confusing to me because I don't want to start adding different flavors or switching because I'm afraid she will start itching again. Then how will I be sure what made her itch?! lol Good luck! :) |
I use Solid Gold Just a Wee Bit -- the kibble is tiny -- smaller than say a piece of Reece's Puff cereal. It is an All Life Stage Food which helped me a great deal with 3 dogs in different lif stages and it is good premium brand. If your dog is eating food without chewing, you might not want the smaller kibble size. They do need to crunch their food -- it helps to clean the tartar from their teeth. Even though mine could swallow the Solid Gold Just a Wee Bit whole, I do hear them crunching when they are in at the food bowl. But I never have to worry about them choking with the tiny kibble. |
Teddie is on half Halo (puppy stew salmon), and half wellness. He's not too fond of the wellness, will eat the halo and leave the wellness for last...little turkey butt!!:p No issues here on either food though, and he's definitely full of energy and sans issues. |
