I am so annoyed at trying to figure this out. I've even asked people at all major pet supply stores... Which kibble is the smallest? They don't know! My vet only recommends what she sells @ $$$$, of course.
************************************************
Just an update for anyone interested... I picked up PRO Plus Adult Small Breed (black and purple bag) just to see (especially since Hills was way more $). The kibble is very small 6mm-9mm and 3-4mm thick. They both really like it and do nibble on it throughout the day. Overall, ($ + enthusiasm) I am really pleased with the outcome. Thank you everyone for all the help and advice!
P.S. Broccoli may be something that has to start early in life, because my 2 think I'm crazy!
- TINY KIBBLE. I've been feeding my mini Shih-Tzu Bil-Jac because it isn't as hard as other brands. 2 problems, 1) she's not terribly fond of it, and 2) I have to put in a zip bag and step on it to make it smaller. She was 1.7# @ 3yrs when we got her (now 7.9#) but she lost some teeth due to malnutrition. I want to find a different brand she actually likes with really tiny kibble. Also have a mini dachshund who will eat anything. I add home cooked organs & meats + carrots and green beans to their dinners but want them to like their kibble enough to eat on its own. Because I give them quality soft food, the kibble doesn't need to be the best of the best. I am on a budget but will spend a bit more to find what works best. The only real health issues are the Shih-Tzu tends to have harder stools. They are both seniors.
- DINNER TIME(s). Any thoughts as to best time to give them their main meal(s)?
- CARROTS. Oh, and my dachshund thinks raw carrots (thinly sliced) are the best treats in the whole wide world. Any feedback on whether this is good or bad?
