Simple ingredients and an extra small kibble for the smallest puppies! If you are struggling trying to find a “true” small bite formula for your tiny pup this is the one for you! I’ve never seen kibble this tiny before. Perfect for tiny pups! Great, simple ingredient formula also!

Wonderful for my 2 1/2 lb puppy. Small size (like course sand) kibble is perfect for her. Just add a little hot water, then a spoonful of meat and you're all set. Sometimes she gets a little of big girl food, the Nutro sm breed, dry to get her through the night.

Lord its been a process to find puppy food for my Havapoo pup/ wet food only in occasion (when I know she's hungry because it would spoil fast) but I would get her kibble to supplement while at work ( wouldn't touch it or just nibble) Other brands of Puppy small breed the kibble was small but not extra small. With Nutro kibble she went full force in ! She loves it, I do think partially because of the extra small kibble size, and grains. Which eases my worries and fills her tummy. I don't know what people are talking about the smell it doesn't have a strong odor. I supplement her with chicken when I can as well.

Nutro brand dog food seems great. I have three dogs. A small 4 pound Cavachon puppy, and a one yr old golden retriever puppy and a three year old golden retriever. All three are on the same brand, and all three have beautiful coats and are very healthy.

This is the only brand of food our little beagle will eat. We mistakenly ordered another brand that he didn't care for and chewy was the best company to deal with when this happened. Instead of returning a huge bag of dog food, they suggested we donate it to the local animal shelter to help other pups in need. We will never buy from another company. Chewy has our hearts and business forever! <3
