What is the approximate size of the kibble? I have a maltese under 6 pounds that has difficulty with larger kibble

The kibble is very small, 3/4 inch, in a flat triangle shape. My small dog who has trouble eating other kibbles does really well with this food. I have found it to be the easiest for her, in fact, out of many small bite foods out there.

My poodle is 6 lbs. it is a very small kibble and perfect for her size. I would recommend.

The kibble is a flat triangle. It's about the size of a Cheerio or smaller. We switch back and forth between Wellness Core and Wellness Supermix. One has a kibble that was even smaller. My dogs are small, too. One is around 8 lbs and a chi/poodle/pug mix with an underbite. The other is an oversized chihuahua.

They're not large, but the toy breed version is very small and would probably easier for your fur baby.

The pieces are shaped like a triangle. I just measured a side and it is 3/8 inch. We have a small sheltie (15 lb) and she loves it.

About the size of a little finger nail. My Chihuahua can eat this size very easily and he likes it too.

How small is your guinea pigs? I don't think it can fit. It doesn't fit my 5 pounds Maltese dog. His body can get in, but he cannot stand up in the carrier.

I have never used the original kibble but I use ocean formula all the time. I have a corgi, 27 lbs and about the same length as a beagle. She doesn't seem to have a problem with the dog food. It isn't that large (just under 1/2 inch) and doesn't seem to be very hard. Everyone tells me how beautiful her coat is and are amazed my dog is actually 9 1/2 yrs old. I contribute it to the dog food, fish equates to omega 3s. She is allergic to meat and poultry so all she gets is the ocean formula (they mean what they say, pure fish and no grains). I do give her carrots for treats. She is still pretty spry when walking and playing.

No. To me, the kibble is a smaller size. Not as small as kitten kibble, but smaller than the average sized kibble.

NO...I suggest the medium. I had a small for my 6lb maltese mixed...and I felt it was too snug. So I ordered a medium which was more comfortable!

The Hills Science Diet large breed adult kibble is good size. I have a 90lb lab and he crunches it up before swallowing. Hope this helps!

In my experience the large is way too big. I get medium for my 15 lb Maltese who is also a big chewer/gulper. I recommend the mediums (although sizes vary within each bag) & watch her. If it gets too small or soggy take it away.

I bought these last year, my maltese was 7 pounds and I bought the medium and they were a little big.

My dog is 2kg Maltese. The collar does look a bit big on her, but she continue with her activities just fine.

I'm not sure how much help I can be since I've never owned a toy breed but the individual pieces of food are about as big around as the tip of my index finger which is smaller than a dime. Hope this helps.

my dog is about 7 lbs and its perfect.. Shes a Yorkshire Terrier... no bigger dog than that tho (length wise).. Its pretty thick n fluffy though.. so she could probably be twice that weight if she was just a little fat. But typically, yorkie or any little ancle biter toy dog.

My doxie is all about her food and she loves the flowered bowl and no it's not to big for a 6 month old puppy, remember she's going to get bigger. I also have a mid size chihuahua who was a super fussy eater and since I've gotten him the bowl, he has enjoyed eating and has managed it without a problem.

The kibble is pretty small, to the point where I thought it might too small for my 65lb mixed breed. He liked it anyway though!

I use Newman's Senior for a 90 pound 12y Golden, but the piece sizes are under 1/2" triangle x 1/8" thick. I have never had a small dog, so I cannot add a 'small breed' that I have experienced enjoying the food, but cannot imagine pieces this small being difficult for any dog to crunch up and swallow. I recommend buying the 12.5 pound bag as it is direct from Amazon & Prime if that is of benefit to you (my experience is that buying from Amazon direct is a better guarantee of getting Fresh food, as there was a problem with freshness at some point, but the reviewers didn't mention Where they had purchased the product, and Amazon Refuses to distinguish between Amazon purchase or some-other-offer-Through-Amazon. Good Luck!

We have the large one but also large Rotti (90 lbs)! He doesn't fill it up! Small one should be fine for your puppy!

I have a small Shiba weighing in at about 15 pounds and she does fine with it. The pieces are a little bigger than "small dog" food, but I think it's good in the sense that she actually has to chew the kibble and doesn't just woof it down in two seconds.

The collar may be too big for a Maltese. The box on the collar is roughly 2.5 inches wide 1 inch thick and 1 inch high. I didn't like the collar that came with the receiver, so I heated a small screwdriver and burned two holes in a nylon collar and put the receiver on that. Hope this helps
