Digestive and joint dog food

I received this bag of chicken and oatmeal formula small dog food to try for my yorkiepoos. I have been wanting to try something good for thier digestion and joint

I received this bag of chicken and oatmeal formula small dog food to try for my yorkiepoos. I have been wanting to try something good for thier digestion and joint since one of my girls has bad hind legs and they both seem to burp up air after eating. This brand has probiotics and fiber which I also loved. When first trying it one of my girls was all about it and the other was hesitant but she is hesitant about everything. The pieces are regular sized bites for a small dog which is great. I have found it hard to get good health dog food without added junk. My girls have been eating small portions of this food and seem to have less burps after eating. I’m hoping long term I will see an improvement with my dogs joints as well. This food even has a second added kibble mixed in to provide vitamins and minerals which is awesome. Definite must try if your looking for a healthy small dog digestion and joint bag of dry kibble.

I have 3 small breed chihuahua mix dogs. When I first opened the bag, they were excited and interested in the new smell. I gave each of them a few pieces as a treat and they seemed to like it pretty well. I mixed their usual dry kibble food 1/2 and 1/2 with the Natural Balance food for their next feedings. Their food is measured and they are fed twice a day. On the third day, each of the dogs had uncontrollable bowel movements before I could let them outside. The stools were loose and sticky but not watery. Since I had more of the food left, I decreased the amount of the Natural Balance in the mixture with their regular food to 1/4. They finished up the bag without any further issues. Overall, they seemed to like the food and ate it eagerly. The size of the kibble was perfect for them as each of them is a senior citizen with ongoing dental issues.

Pleasantly Impressed

My tiny yorkies Luna 5 lbs and Jaxson 3.5 lbs readily scarfed this up and generally they can be picky eaters. I had run out of my normal brand so I didn’t have any

My tiny yorkies Luna 5 lbs and Jaxson 3.5 lbs readily scarfed this up and generally they can be picky eaters. I had run out of my normal brand so I didn’t have any of the old food to mix to make sure no tummy upsets, but yay THERE WERE NONE! I’m also pleased to read it helps with joints too and that absolutely is an added bonus since Luna is now 10 years old and Jaxson is 5. For those that check, the resulting stools were firm and easy to pick up. I definitely will be getting this again to feed my littles. An added bonus is that Luna has been more playful and energetic since I started her on this food.

Yummy Small Bites!

No complaints from my tiny dog about this food! She loves it! It is a brand I trust, so I am happy that they make "small bites" for little dogs. My dog is 6.3 pounds,

No complaints from my tiny dog about this food! She loves it! It is a brand I trust, so I am happy that they make "small bites" for little dogs. My dog is 6.3 pounds, so I am always looking for a good, small-bite kibble for her. It comes in a good size bag, too, It's not so much that it is difficult to store but it is enough that we don't have to reorder all the time.

Smells great, cute kibbles

This dog food smells fantastic and my dog looooves it. The kibbles are small and are super cute and they seem easy for her to digest, which is great. My only gripe

This dog food smells fantastic and my dog looooves it. The kibbles are small and are super cute and they seem easy for her to digest, which is great. My only gripe is that the bag is not resealable. I've grown to really applaude the brands that are resealable.

This is an excellent product for senior small bread dogs. I am feeding 2 old fussy and stubborn Pugs, 13 &15. First, the dogs love it, small bits for small mouths, nice strolls and the best part, does not give them gas like their former premium popular dog food. Nice ingredients for senior dogs with movement problems and some probiotics.

Small breed dog food

Looks like a very nice dog food but my dogs have been a little hesitant to start eating it. Small bites for little dogs and has a good smell. Would recommend it
