Who knows what is the right dog food ? The food you are using requires less food which might explain the weight gain so read the directions. For me it all comes down to what my dog will eat, and the reviews. If the dog will not eat it, why buy it.Something I feel the manufacturers have lost sight of is the taste. They are more concerned with marketing.You will have to be the judge on what works best for your dog. I think there is a fine line between $60 dog food which is what you are using and $30 dog food which takes care of the dogs nutritional needs. Good luck Who knows what is the right dog food ?

Buy for small breeds & you get a nice size kibble. Mine are Chinese Pugs & they like it. If your dog is not real active you might want the basic formula. The Wilderness is packed for an active life style.

They're bigger than the puppy food, but still pretty small (I think). It hasn't helped our dog with weight loss. He's got fatty tumors though, so it's hard to say where his fat ends and the fatty tumors begin. Blue Buffalo does have a weight loss formula that we recently switched to for him. We're still on the first bag of that though. I don't know if it's working yet.

Each kibble is small; less than the size of a penny. But I give it to my adult dog who is 65 lbs and he likes it very much.

Because of the chicken based content I would not trust it. You may be better off just picking up some of those small single serving dog food containers that have just enough for a single serving of a small dog; larger dog? give them two, etc.

It would depend on how much larger the kibbles are and how much your dog eats. A small dog eating small kibbles is likely to work. If you have a large dog it probably wouldn't work because the bowl size is too small.

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.

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the puppy food.

My dog is a 65lbs Dalmatian and the kibble is not too big for him. I catch my 8 month old cat chomping done my dog's food and he manage to eat it okay. Irecommend buying the smallest bag and trying it, before buying a bigger bag.

All size dogs ! Actually the kibble pieces are small and triangle shaped and the size of a dime. My adorable cockapoo, Sophie, has been eating it since she was a puppy at 9 weeks of age ... She is now 5 years and 5 months old and weighs 22 1/2 lbs. I feed her about a third of a cup in the AM and about a cupful a day in the evening. I moisten it with a little warm water. She also gets two or more small treats through the day. Sophie and I both highly recommend this dog food.

I buy the 5lb bag. I have 2 dogs that each get 3 teaspoons apiece once a day on food. I bought my last 5lb bag in September 2013 and just got another because I was running low. Hope that helps!

I've only used the small one for 8-12 week old puppies...at 12 weeks my pups weigh about 15 pounds, I guess I would recommend erring on the side of caution and use the medium, especially if your dog is an aggressive chewer. It will hold more kibble and there would be no risk of the squirrel getting caught in your dog's throat. My dogs LOVE this toy, it's the only hard rubber type toy they've ever used, for my 45-55 pound girls I use the medium, and for my big guy (100 pound Shepherd cross) I use the large. Typically I fill the squirrels with kibble and put a smear of peanut butter across the fill hole. Keeps them busy and happy for hours!

As long as they are not gaining weight with the amounts you are providing them you should be good to go. I add a little Wellness canned turkey to my pom and papillons meals with a little warm water and they love it. This is such a great dog food for small breeds.

Hi Chris you could give it a go but we make mini muffins for our Shih Tzu x Maltese dogs and they are literally one bite size Hope this was helpful Cheers Col

I think I would do it slowly - mix the two. I personally feed my dogs both. They get kibble in the morning and Honest Kitchen at night. I feel like this way they get more variety in their diet, and they don't get bored with it. (I add in some canned as well in the am. with the kibble - just a bit).

We have two 14 month old Boston Terriers (siblings). The girl weighs 16 lbs and the boy has finally topped out at 27 lbs. I feed the girl 3/4 of a cup of this Wellness Core dry food twice a day and I feed the boy about 1 cup twice a day. They maintain their weight without losing or gaining on this amount of food. Good luck with your Boston.......they are the very best little companions. We lost our 13 year old Boston about 6 months ago to cancer and lost our 10 year old male 4 months ago to a heart attack. We miss them so much.

I have the same problem. It doesn't seem to be measuring the portions very carefully at all. I have it set to two meals of 1/4 cup a day, and sometimes it only drops out like 5 or 6 kibbles, and then other times it will plop out like 3/8.

Funny you asked that....today I was wondering how many cups of food would be in the bag, how long it would last. The kibble is small, I opened it on the September 22 and I have gone through maybe a quarter of the bag, we use about 3 cups of food a day. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

I'd go 1qt. size for your dogs, if you feed them more than 1/2cup food per serving. I bought the 1pt. size, but my dogs are at or under 10 lbs. and they only need 1/2 cup food twice day.
