Best food weight and digestion
By Denise on Sep 26, 2021
As soon as I was told I needed to put my pug on a weight management food. I was suggested other foods by a vet and could not believe the ingredients in them contained the 3 foods toxic to our babies. So I had to stay with health extensions. Thank you best decision contains none of the corn, soy, white rice that’s toxic, his digestive system and he loves the food. Can’t tell it’s lite. Thank you.

Great size, crunch, flavor and health benefits
By MissyB on Sep 16, 2021
My 6 month chihuahua enjoys this food but not so much he wants to eat it all right when you put it in front of him. His bowl always has this food in it and I measure the correct amount ahead of time so when I replenish the bowl on the floor as needed we don’t over feed; he eats periodically throughout the day. I use a different brand of dry dog food that he loves (and would likely overeat) as training treats so it all works out. We are very satisfied with the Little bites as his main nutritional source and so is our six pound chihuahua.

Great choice!
By Erin on Jul 2, 2021
I needed a healthy choice for my overweight yorkie and my other who has to be on a low fat diet. They LOVE this food. I normally leave some out so they can munch as they please but I cannot do that anymore. They gobble it up!

Great Food
By Tracy on May 10, 2021
This food has helped us a lot. We have 2 senior chihuahuas who are very lazy. This food has actually helped them shed some weight. At first they seemed to be hungry but we stuck to the 1/4 cup 2xs a day. They’re both around 10 lbs now.

Quality Low Fat/Low Calorie Dry Food
By 5DogReview on Nov 14, 2020
I bought this for my dog that has Pancreatitis because I wanted a diet that was low fat and still had quality ingredients. First off, I like the fact that the maximum fat percentage is listed in the back of the bag. I'm not too fond of the Dried Beet Pulp and Brewers Dried Yeast ingredients but considering neither is one of the top 5 ingredients I'm content. It does have interesting ingredients to help with weight loss and improve gut health so both a plus for my pancreatic dog needing to lose weight. Yes, my dog has lost weight. Overall, the ingredients are better than any low fat/low calorie dog food out there. Pretty much every one of them have excessive carbohydrates and create excessive I bought this for my dog that has Pancreatitis because I wanted a diet that was low fat and still had quality ingredients.

Overall, the ingredients are better than any low fat/low calorie dog food out there. Pretty much every one of them have excessive carbohydrates and create excessive stool volume. Excessive carbs and Pancreatitis don't mix but the carbs in this diet are quality so it did not cause any stomach issues and no excessive stool volume. I freaked out and laughed when I saw the kibble size. This looks like bird food. All five dogs still liked the taste. The size is not ideal for dogs that inhale their food but great for dogs that don't have many teeth like one of mine. None have ever tried grains and this has quality grains. This diet is pea free so there's no need to worry about splitting of pea-byproducts (pea protein, pea flour, pea fiber) which increases the volume of peas present. One of my dogs is allergic to potatoes and another has yeast infection/food allergies. The one allergic to potatoes did fine with it however the one with yeast infection/allergies did not due to the chicken, grains, Brewer's Yeast, and bovine colostrum (milk allergy). … more

Great food!
By Margeod on Nov 2, 2020
I have a tea cup Yorkie that’s been putting on weight . She has joint problems and the extra weight makes it worse. I actually have three little dogs and two of them are little chiunkers! All of them took to the food well, with no digestive issues.

The kibble are petite size
By Liberty on Sep 2, 2020
From 2lbs to 10 lbs this would be a great size kibble for your pup which is exactly what I was looking for in a healthy dry dog food. Unfortunately neither of my dogs are very fond of the taste. In the photo the small kibble are compared to Health Extensions Original chicken & brown rice recipe for all life stages. Chewy.com gets 5 Stars. Thank you Chewy.com for always being so prompt on my orders.

We love all of Health Extension Little Bites. The bites are very, very small...so perfect for our Yorkie rescues that have no teeth, and those that do have teeth. And we love all the healthy ingredients in it...this is our favorite dog food!

Easy to feed. 0
By Gina on Sep 18, 2020
Dogs like the food. It smells good to me. Measures out easily. Doesn't have any probiotics. However. It's a good choice for rotating my dogs' food . Plus, they have gotten a bit chubby, due to Covid-19. So, the weight management is a great choice.
