Been running the senior wellness by my better half, checking prices/availability. Local stores, about $19 for 4 lbs, tax incl. first bag..... if works out.. about $13 for 4 pounds, buy 4 bags at a time to get shipping included at chewy.com. |

Your answer is yes to both. Toy breeds nomenclature is probably sourced from the conformation or show environment. Small breed is a more generic term that is in public use. Different organizations may classify small/medium/large/giant etc to their own definitons which is by no means universal. Usually done by weight ie: small is 25lbs medium 25+-50 large 50+ to 75 large 75+ to 100 etc. |

I didn't find a small breed definition at AKC... looks like small breed is more of perspective or who is defining it.. to a great dane owner, a german shepherd is small.... unless you can find a definition somewhere, dog food manufacturers may have a different weight that they consider in their small breed kibble. Since we're talking about food specifically here...Unless I'm missing something, only a small % of food manufacturers have a toy breed specific food. Seems like most have small breed food. |

Concerning, Wellness small breed vs. toy breed, they look very similar in the quality of their ingredients, the toy breed has a higher protein content 30 instead of 28, not sure if that's an advantage, 28 is probably good enough, if it's a high quality protein, and both seem to be using good sources of protein, as in no "by products". I believe the toy breed can only be purchased in 2 and 4 pound bags, while the small breed can be purchased in 4 and 12 pound bags.

If you do the per gram measurement the toy food still has more calories 3,832 kcal/kg for the toy, vs. 3,740 kcal/kg for the small breed. Royal Canin had 3802 calories per kcal/kg, and I wanted to stay close to that number, so I could use either one of these. |

I'm also considering Nature's Logic, the puppy food and adult food are the same, and it has no starch. I'm thinking the way my two hold on to every pound, taking out the starch might be a good idea. |

I went to a local Petco today after calling smaller and closer pet food stores. The smaller stores didn't have this in stock. I bought a 4 pound bag of Wellness Toy Breed Complete Health Senior Deboned Chicken & Oatmeal Adult Dog Food. The kibble is tiny! So far, so good! Gucci seems to like it today, we'll see what tomorrow brings! The bag is resealable and should stay a little fresher a little bit longer. With tax, $18.61 for the 4 pounds. If he continues to enjoy it, chewy.com will be much cheaper per pound when buying 4 bags at a time.
