Smallest Dog food bites?

[Britster]

Fromm is super tiny kibble! Their Surf n Turf looks like cat kibble. It's TEENY!

My Jilly was tiny & when she was a puppy I either put her kibble in the food processor, blender or mashed it in a sandwich bag with the rubber mallet.

Question, everyone is advocating "grain free", yet many have posted they use cheerios for treats.

It really depends on the type of grain and digestibility. Toki has done well on formulas that include grains and also does well on grain-free so I switch between formulas. Grain-free formulas are generally higher in protein, fat, and calories but can sometimes be too rich for some dogs. I like that on a grain-free kibble, I can feed her a smaller amount of a higher quality kibble and that she has smaller poos.

I think some people give their dogs cheerios for treats because they're low in calories and fat and they don't make up a very large component of the diet. If it doesn't upset your dog's digestive tract and or a negative impact, use what you'd like.

With that being said, I do try to give Toki mostly grain-free treats and vegetable pieces in addition to a few treats with good grains like brown rice and oats (like Blue Stix) but that's just a personal preference.

Thank you for the informative post! Sounds like a grain free is a good option.

We recently switched to grain free, potato free, added probiotics: Darford | Culture. The kibble is really tiny & mine are doing great on it!

Just FYI, dogs that are allergic to grains will have soft #2's. Grain free diet produces firm healthy stools. Some dogs will also vomit if they have an allergic reaction to certain foods.

We have been feeding Fromm 4-Star Nutritionals and the kibble is small. We just got a bag of Fromm Salmon A'la Veg and the kibble is very tiny. It is not grain free, but it is considered a low grain food.

Toki likes this kind! It is even smaller than the grain-free Fromm. I believe it's the same diameter but flatter so that might be easier for tiny mouths to handle!
