Is this good for smaller dogs as well? I have a 15lb maltipoo mix.

The feeding size can be adjusted to the size of the dog easily. My dog eats twice a day and his feedings total the daily recommended amount. Your dog may only need 1/4 cup twice a day at that weight. You can always check with your Vet.

Yes! I have a 17lb mixed breed female and she eats 1/2 cup twice a day plus some veggies.

Yes, absolutely! I have a 17 lb dachshund/yorkie mix, and he LOVES it! I was on Organix for years, which he ate. Then I switched to Newman's Own after I read all the positive reviews here. After that, he refused to eat the small amount of Organix I had left--even after I added some bacon fat to it! Have used Newman's Own for years, and he just loves it. Highly recommended. (FYI, I use the advanced formula, because my dog is 10 years old.)P.S. Don't get the 7 lb bag. You can get the 12 lb bag for only 3 dollars more, and there will be free shipping--so it'll actually be cheaper than the 7 lb bag! I get the 12 lb bag and split it into 2 bags when I get it, so it doesn't go stale. Yes, absolutely! I have a 17 lb dachshund/yorkie mix, and he LOVES it! I was on Organix for years, which he ate.

I have a Cocker-Poodle mix and a small Poodle that love it. Of late I have had to switch because Amazon ran out, but I , and more importantly my dogs were very happy with it

Age and activity also influence a dog's metabolism. While this product rates high in my mind, I would also consider which formula may be best for your pet.

The pieces of food are fairly small, so if that is the point of inquiry, I would say it should be fine. My dog is an 80 lb. Lab and he loves this food. His coat is shiny and he LOVES this food. I did quite a bit of comparing brands and I found this brand to be quite high in nutrition without a lot of fillers. As I said before, my 10 year old Lab is thriving on newman's Own.

My dogs are 80 lbs +. I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer for small dog applications. I would not believe the settings on the lowest would be detrimental. But incorrect application could create more problems between you and your dog. Use this tool sparingly.

Yes. We use ours for a 7 lb and 16 lb mini dachshunds. Wont work for much bigger than that though.

I'm not an expert but I would not go any smaller. My standard poodle is just a few pound smaller and it works just fine.....

I use this on my 40lb kelpie as well as a 70lb boxer/lab mix with no problem - I am 5'4 and the brush fits perfectly in my hand. On the flipside, i could see how this would be too big for small dogs maybe 20lbs and under.

No it should be just fine for your mix. I think that it might be difficult for anything smaller (mini doxi), but a standard dachshund and heeler mix will be a good size. Once you have fitted the collar you can cut the excess. And you can always keep it on a lower setting. I keep the collar on the lowest setting; and increase as needed.

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

I have a large german sheperd that I bought this for. I personally would not recommend this product for a small dog. The lowest setting on this was enough to make my dog behave but I feel it would be too much for a small dog.

I have a 9 lb mix breed, the XX-small was too small. The XS should work perfect. For my 15 lb Maltepoo, I got the small and it works well.

Hi Michael, I got the smaller one for my maltese...but she quickly grew out of it...but she is a bigger dog at 10 lbs. I think if your pup is just 4-5 lbs...the small one would work. It is a good looking product and I enjoyed using it when my girl was a puppy. Hope this helps. I gave mine to the local shelter and they plaeend on using it for the smaller pups and kitties so they could work and still have them with them. Good Luck...Julie

My dog hasn't had any problems with that, could maybe be a problem for smaller dogs

mine Shihtzu is 15 lbs and it is tight on her but I suspect it would be too loose for yours

I got the medium one for our 65lb lab mix and it works just fine! I think the larger ones just cover more surface area, so it's possible they could get the job done quicker for bigger dogs. For us, the less expensive medium size was definitely the way to go!:)

The jumps are perfect for smaller dogs. I have a 16 lb Jack Russel terrier who has no problem with this kit.

Hi, I purchased this item for my 2 dogs. I have a Malshi that weights 8lbs and a Pomeranian that weights 12 lbs and they fit comfortably.

We used it for Collies, but it would be good for small dogs too. It is adjustable.
