Is this dog food only for LARGE breeds? I have both a 3 year old Chihuahua and a 2 year old Goldendoodle... can they use the same type?

No they should be fine eating it. I have 2 mutts both under 20#'s who eat it just fine and the kibbles are small so I think it would be good for even smaller breeds.

It is a fine food for all sizes of dogs! The kibble pieces are very small -- small enough that even my cats like to munch on it. It is a good quality food, and that means one doesn't need to feed as much as a cheaper brand. A 75 pound dog eats maybe three cups per day split over two meals.

Hi! No this is for all breeds and ages. I have an 8 year old Great Dane and a 2 year old shitzu. They love it! Their coats are so healthy, skin is to healthy, and they have so much energy. They have been eats this food for several years now and it is the best. Even our vet office us carrying it now. Try it and you will see how your angels will ty for it.

Yes, it's for larger dogs, the Doodle should be fine...our dog is 85 lbs. I don't know if the kibble is too big for the little guys.

Absolutely! I both have a smaller chihuahua mix and a shepard mix. The are small enough bites for a small dog for sure! My babies healthy as horses and peppy as puppies and they are both about 4 years old.

Hi Tracey, Thanks for asking that question. We just released our Glucosamine for dogs under 60 pounds last week on Amazon. If you search for Pet Fit For Life Glucosamine, you will see our new product. Same ingredients as our large dog product, just smaller amounts for the smaller dogs. Your Pet Fit For Life Team

Right now, I have 5 pugs, a Boston Terrier, and a 14 yr/old chihuahua with no teeth. They all eat this food, like it and are doing very well on it. My toothless itty bitty eats the nuggets whole, so they are pretty small.

It's supposed to be for these breed because it gives them a good amount of protein and grains without making them overweight. I feed my shnauzer once a day and she weighs the same. As long as I just give her that food and avoid too many treats or house food.

I don't know for sure, sorry. We don't use this food anymore. Just not a favorite for our dog. She loved it at first, but not so much now. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I have been feeding this food to my two dogs for about a year. My Doberman and German Shepherd have had just as much if not more energy then when I was feeding them the much more expensive Acana food. We have tried many different dog food brands but Wellness is one of the very few that didn't give my dogs serious stomach problems. So I would highly recommend at least trying this dog food, but I hope you have some time on your hands to play with your dog, because they will have more energy!

We just put the dog food down and leave it. Each dog has his/her own dish and eat at will. This seems to work well for us. They get very few treats. The Staffordshire bull terrier and the Papillon both eat the same kind of dog food. I have changedthe flavor at different times. We have tried the duck, salmon and the chicken. Both dogs doing well.

Every dog is a little different so it's hard to say. The difference between Purina dog food and Taste of the Wild is huge in assisting with digestion and nutrition. I also had my puppy on Purina and had similar issues with him until I made the swap. Now he's almost 2 years old and I feed him half puppy and half adult taste of the wild. So as far as whether to go puppy or adult food, use puppy if you need to keep weight on your dog and he burns a lot of calories. My guess would be that your pup still should get puppy food.

They only fit the large kongs but I would skip it honestly. Stuff with any treats and your dog will love it. The long brand ends up with broken pieces and it's sort of annoying to insert so I ended up feeding them to my dog and using soft, musher treats like little jacks to stuff in there and my golden is occupied for at least 1-3 hours!!

I buy these all the time for my two Shih TZu's. My male is almost 18 pounds and I buy a much larger size than they suggest. I use the regular size which is for dogs 25 pounds to 50 pounds. The smaller ones just don't offer much of a treat for my dogs, They gobble them in seconds instead of minutes. I would start with a box of the regular and if they don't last long, get the larger size. They are very good for their teeth.

I have been using this product for two years and I have not had any problems with it. My dogs (2 large dogs) love them and is their favorite. I am assuming the person(s) that are complaining are those with small dogs, I can see that small dogs could have issues with this product. I am very careful with everything I feed my dogs (my kids), I hope the person will rethink their issues and allow those of us that are able to use these treats to do so. We should check all treats for issues and this is one brand from China that I do NOT have any issues with.

Currently feeding a 5 yr. old terrier mix and a 9 yr old Chihuahua. They both have sensitive tummys and this seems to be okay for both of them. I do limit the amount they eat mainly because the terrier mix would eat until she exploded. Hope this helps.

We've been feeding our dogs TOTW wetlands formula. Recently, our 2 year old chihuahua has developed dark patches of skin on her belly that are itchy and flaky. She also scratches a lot. However, she was on TOTW probably a month or 2 before this started. The dogs really like the food, and it seems to keep them healthy and their coats are very shiny and soft. I am waiting to see if it is just Fall allergies (we live in a very bad area for pollen and other irritants) before trying another food.

I'm not sure if you're looking for size of the kibble (small) or if it's good for small breeds. My toy poodle gobbles them down with no problem and his poop comes out not soft and not too hard Which is a good thing. I have no complaints. His seizures have also stopped

I have a chihuahua and she manages the pieces very well. They are not teeny bites but be sure they'll chew em up easily. They are not rock hard like commercial foods, remember this is Orijen, the best dog food ever.

This food is not intended for puppies but for older dogs. I would check and find the puppy foods that Instinct has and follow their guidelines. I am very happy wit the food and I have five dogs.

I'm in the - not sure camp. I have Chihuahua's with various snout/muzzle sizes. It is definitely harder for the shorter muzzle Chi's. Part also depends on food motivation & obliviously a longer tongue does help. BTW, I have the flower bowl. I've also bought the Nina Ottosson dog toys (tornado, the brick & dogmagic) & used them at meal time to slow eating. In some ways I like those better because it makes my dog work for their food.
