The kibble I feed is very small - tip of pencil eraser sized. Will the sizing allow kibble this size to flow slowly enough to be a challenge? Thnx

You have the ability to make the openings smaller or bigger. I put puppy food which is very tiny in it and it worked great.

Yes, you can adjust the openings where the kibble comes out, so it should work well for you. A great toy!

Yes, that's actually a good size. it has adjustable dispenser holes at the top. I get treats about that size. My only complaint with this toy is that it doesn't wobble much it ends up on it's side and my pup pushes it around. He loves it though

Yes. You can really fine-tune the opening. There are notches but it will go - and hold - in between the notches.

I've used many different brands, it's what I would consider small size kibble. It's one of the reasons I buy it. I do not know how it compares to the Organix line. I don't think they could make it much smaller though.

No. If the dog food is regular sized kibble, for example Purina Dog Chow, this 50 pound container is not big enough. The 50 pounds is likely accurate if the food pieces are smaller or more dense. I'm bummed because I bought after looking at the responses to this very question. The response of 30 - 35 pounds is accurate for this purpose. I will be returning this and purchasing the next size up to hold my bargain sized (formerly 50lb) 46 pound bag of Purina Dog Chow. And yes, I am disappointed as I am the mother of a teenage boy who seems to revel in any mistakes I make, I don't need any more material for my child to point out how dingy his mother is. I'm patiently waiting for the day when he remembers how smart I am once again.... when does that day come?

We bought a large size and put 1 cup of large kernels in it. It fills up the bottom but we probably could have gotten by with a medium size. We bought it to slow our pups' eating down and it does so, at least some. If the food wasn't as spread out, it might not slow the eating down as much.

Yes, if functioning correctly the correct sized lead can be fed into the tube once the eraser is removed. It is un-advisable to feed the 5mm and 7mm respectively into the tip, they would tend to break given their thinness.

For my tiny snub-nosed Pekingese gobbler, I've made my own slow feeder using a silicone mini-muffin pan, putting small amounts of dry food spread among several rows. The cup size and depth work great. A larger silicone muffin pan might work for your bulldog. The size of the pan is awkward, but that and the silicone keep it from moving around. I'm considering cutting the pan in half to see if it still stays put. It's a work in progress :)

I guess if your dog is tall enough you could, but they need to be able to move around the feeder to get to everything. I have a labradoodle (~60 lbs), and placing the feeder up that high proved too high for her to get to the food. Some of the 'blades of grass' on the feeder are about 3 inches, and her snout doesn't fit in between so she has to use her tongue to get to the food. I have to say though, this is the 3rd slow down bowl I've had and she cannot eat too fast no matter how hard she tries to!

For smaller size kibble, probably about a half cup. There are plastic teeth inside that hold the food in, making it a challenge to get the pieces out. If you snip out some of the the teeth, the kibble comes out easier for the dog. Milk bone trail mix works well with this toy.

I use for horse grain, but small kibble I think it would actually hold the entire bag, lg kibble I really dont know, But even ants etc cannot get into my grain with this container, I love it

Hi, yes. When I first received the feeder and set it up, I tested it with a cup of kibble. At first it was dispensing about a tablespoon and I carefully fiddled with it for about 10 minutes to get the desire 1/4 cup I was looking for. You shouldn't have any problem with a tablespoon, you just have to spend some time re-calibrating it.

Hi Ana! No worries, you can buy it :) the smaller piece is maybe the size of an egg. Nothing to worry about too small pieces they can swallow.

About irregular dime size kibble. I have several size dogs from small to large and I believe it is appropriate for them all. It is easy to bite apart so the smaller animals have no problem. I'm pleased with content makeup and my animals seem to enjoy the taste with no after effects , such as too much richness. No loose stools, gurgling gastrointestinal s, and no flatulance.

No, the kibble is very small. Looks a little smaller than Science Diet kibble.

I have a 30 lb and a 26 lb French bulldog and I give them the small size. I was breaking a larger one in half, each time I gave them one. I haven't had any problems with a choking factor. If you think about it, they eventually get the larger one to a smaller size when they are finishing it. So, I don't think it is a factor. Just my opinion.

I just did a little experiment and I was able to pick up a Pringles chip and also an almond easily. So my answer to your question would be yes. The tips are about 1/8" (4mm) wide and the gap between the tips is about 1" (2.8cm). The inside of the tips have ridges which would help to grip an item. The ridges would also collect food particles so you'd want to keep them scrubbed clean. Great idea! Good Luck!

You may need a little collar on the pole to keep the feeder from going more than a few inches onto the pole. Otherwise it would be hard to remove for filling.

,Yes. I have a 90LB. Female Akita so I can only say that the Kibble is small. When a dog food size is marketed , they usually will say if it comes in different size's for the smaller dogs.
