Is the kibble size small enough for a frenchie puppy 3 months old?

Answer by ChewySep 15, 2022
The kibble dimensions are approximately 9.5-11.5 mm in diameter and 4-6 mm in thickness. It is difficult to say if the kibble is suited for a 3 month Frenchie puppy, it would depend on the size of that particular pup.

Does not work well for my puppy

Unfortunately, this food really upset my 4 month old puppy's stomach. We had started her on Nulo limited ingredient and slowly made the transition to this food

Unfortunately, this food really upset my 4 month old puppy's stomach. We had started her on Nulo limited ingredient and slowly made the transition to this food. I don't think our dog can handle chicken and/or rice. She had horrible gas and diarrhea. We gave it some time to get better but it never did. We transitioned back to Nulo.

It seems to have helped with his itching.

Transitioning him over from Purina Pro Plan for puppies. As with Coco, I think the chicken in Purina causes allergies to some dogs.

Digestive Health is anything but

I was feeding wellness puppy formula previously and thought I would help my 5 mo old coonhound mix (40#) with a version that was digestive and my gut healthy. Boy howdy was I wrong. He has had nothing but diarrhea for the last 7 days. Even though he was fully housebroke, he has had messes, he panics because he knows that he shouldn't mess in the house. Don't get this for your dog. Just don't do it. It sucks because it's anywhere between 55 and $72. And you think that you're trying to help your dog but it's not going to help.
