| Fromm? Do they make bigger kibbles? I recently bought a bag of Fromm (just in time, I see for the Wellness recall). I have the wild game (suggested by salesman). The kibbles are so tiny. I was wondering if the other flavors had bigger kibbles? These are like tiny balls. I want to switch my Lab over..but these seem to small for him. Also, Ted seems to be doing quite a bit of paw chewing..wondering if it's something in the Fromm. Thank you. |

| I tried the game variety! I liked it! My boyfriend has tried the Beef Frittata and the kibble was very tiny, just like the game variety. I'm not 100% sure but I think that Fromm only has one kibble size. We fed the Fromm to our lab and she didn't seem to mind the kibble size.

| That's one thing I don't like about them... their kibbles are sooo small. Jax is 16lbs and enjoys larger kibble. The biggest is the Whitefish formula, followed by pork & applesauce, and then duck, I believe.

| Hi, Britster. Thank you for the quick reply. Is that what you feed? Ted is a bit of a chunker too. I had him on the low-cal Wellness, and am looking for a new food. Now it's even harder to decide with all these crazy recalls. Thank you. |

| Hi, MMpp3(wow, that's a hard one for this old mind to try remember..haha.) Thank you for reply. How much did you feed your lab? Wallace currently gets two cups twice a day (80 pounder). Seems like these tiny kibbles would be gone in a week with his size. Thanks for your help. |

| We gave her 1 cup twice per day. She weighs 60lbs. Just be sure to give whatever it says on the bag. The calories per cup are adjusted based on kibble size by Fromm.

| Hi there, you said Ted (by the way I love his name ) is doing a lot of paw chewing, Does his food contains potatoes or oats. How about his treats? Sheldon was a doing a lot of paw chewing/licking, I talked to the vet and she mentioned white potatoes I came home a did a little research and decided to switch him to a potato free formula. I also checked on the treats I was giving him and they contained oats. I am not sure if it was the treats or the potatoes making him itch but after eliminating both he stopped it. Good luck with Ted! |

| Hi, Sheldon's mom. Thank you so much. Wow potatoes. There are two kinds of potatoes in this Fromm. I never knew they could be allergic. What do you feed Sheldon (cute name also. Did you name him from The Big Bang Theory show?) I guess the "perfect" food search continues. Thank you so much. |

| I put Zhoie on FROMM too and so far she is loving it! The girl does twirls and tricks...she thinks they are a treat I'm thrilled to find this small of a kibble for her tiny mouth. I hope it agrees with her, because I'm sold on it.

| Hi, Perrella. Twirls and tricks..how cute. Ted is typical boy and just gobbles it as fast as he can. I guess that's kind of a "magic disappearing trick." He loves it too. Now I'm just not sure about the potatoes. Something's making him chew his paws. I'm still in process of switching from Wellness low calorie; so he's currently getting a bit of both. I'll go see if there's any without potatoes. I hope so. Thank you. |

| Hi Theodore....LOL...that's great, I love the magic tricks . I hope they have something without potatoes, if that's the cause. Zhoie seems to do really well on the salmon flavors of foods. I also bought the pork and applesauce to try and rotate later on...not sure how that will go. The girl loves fish..hehe.

| Those flavors sound scrup-diddily-umptious. I always thought we couldn't give them pork. Let me know how Zowie does on it. Ted would give his right arm for some pork. |

We tried it last year, we did a bag of duck and then a bag of pork. I think he did okay on the duck, but just ok. We had also tried surf and turf about 2 years ago when we got a free bag, and the eye boogers were insane! I decided to give it another shot just this past week, and same thing - GAS (which he NEVER gets) and soft poo. So I'll be returning our bag. I'm so sad it doesn't work for him... I LOVE the company....
