What size is the kibble

The large breed kibble will have a variance of 13-15 mm in size.

It says no chicken by product meal, but the ingredient list shows chicken meal?

Animal meal is rendered animal meat that has been dried and ground up and includes clean flesh, skin, and/or accompanying bone. Animal meals do not contain feathers, heads, feet, or intestinal contents. By-product meal is made up of animals that have been ground and cooked, reducing the fat content to create a protein-rich ingredient. It’s high in protein and amino acids to help strengthen and maintain your pet’s muscles. It’s also a high-quality source of glucosamine for joint health. This recipe only contains chicken meal but does not contain any by-product meal.

Is the kibble large or average size?

They replaced to order and we were able to keep the damaged package (which we will see if a shelter would accept). Replacement package is to be delivered 1-2 days.

Loose stools and mood depression

Tried changing her over gradually from the adult form but was not successful. The loose stools were expected, as any change might produce. However, even tho she’s an older lab, (11 years) she’s normally very friendly, greets the postman, the kids coming home from school, neighbors, and bossing me around. She stopped doing all that. It was like she was really depressed. (I’m a retired psych RN which is why I put it that way.). So I switched back to the adult form and she’s back to normal, just got done greeting the mailman. Used the senior form with our last lab and he was fine with it. So I’d say this is an individual reaction.

Loves the taste

We use the dry food as a supplement to home-cooked dog food. Our large pit bull loves it. It provides him with the nutrients and crunchy texture he needs.

Our wonderful Golden “Henry” turned 9 a few months back so we elected to change to senior food with Blue Buffalo. When I opened the bag there seemed to be two types of product? One is the expected triangle shaped lighted color and there is about 10% of it that has small pea sized kernels of a very dark kibble. Too early to say if this is the intended mixture but hope to hear from customer service to validate this mixture. Other than that Henry seems to like it AOK.

While the ingredients claim to be good for your dog the gas it gave my dog isn’t worth it.
