I have Haley on Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison which is recommended here. Do you have a Petco? This is where I get it for $13.99 5lb bag.[/B]

The sweet potato and venison has very large peices, too large for my 4 pound Gigi. If you are going with NB foods, I would get the duck and potato small bites.

Great point! Haley was use to eating larger pieces so she had no trouble.... I wonder why they do not offer smaller bites in this kind??
[/B][/QUOTE]

I wrote to the company and asked them to please consider making this food in the small bites. I got a response back that basically alluded to the idea that they will offer in small bites what they are asked to offer and that I was the first person who had requested the Venison in small bites. If a bunch of people email them and ask perhaps they will begin thinking about making it in small bites.

Even though Haley can eat it, I would prefer it smaller so I went to their site and contacted them also!

I bet Gigi could eat it if you didn't offer her any other choice. Even Preston can eat it with no trouble, and he's around 2 1/2 pounds.

Also, if one is allergic to poultry, Duck is sort of considered a poultry so that is why the Venison & Sweet Potato is recommended. I also know some dogs have problems with regular Potato vs. Sweet Potato.

I also just wrote to the company to ask for Venison & Sweet Potato small bites.

I don't feed that brand but I do feed small bites in another brand. I agree the Natural Balance is too big for fussy little mouths like I got here- had a sample once.

LOL yes, I still didn't want miss Gigi to swallow such big pieces, and she was used to the small pieces, so I guess she didn't favor eating such large pieces. We gave our bag to my neighbors, the have a 10 malt mix.

I'll write the company too.

And I think her Tobey would be really tiny, as he is not even 3 months old yet.

Tell that little Gigi to open her mouth. LOL! Cosy eats the NB Sweet Potato and Venison just fine. They're flat round pieces half an inch in diameter. Most little ones do fine with it...except Gigi, who is spoiled .. lol.

I saw that it was listed on there, but it didn't have any information about it. I didn't think to look what star amount it's under.

Even the NB Duck & Potatoes small bites are too big for Raine and Napoleon so I crush them up further. I do this in batches twice a week. And I found that the Duck & Potatoes seem to be harder than the Venison for some reason.
