Does anyone know what the kibble size is on this? I'm looking for high quality large kibble dog food to slow my dog from gulping food down.

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the puppy food.

The be honest, it's packed away right now, but to give you an example, I have an olde english bulldogg and it's difficult for him to eat out of it. It's smaller then I expected. I also have two German wirehaired pointers who did ok eating out of it, but that is due to their snout being longer. Depending on the breed (and snout), I'd search for a bigger one.

Bichon's are a sweet dog. This kibble is not a toy breed tiny size but is a a smaller med size. Definitely not a large kibble size. My sister has a Maltese and she constantly sneaks into my feeding area and chows down until caught. We catch her by the loud crunch crunch she makes during her feast. The kibble measures 1/4 inch circumference and is near flat so it crunches/crumbles easy. If your fur children have decent teeth they will do fine with it.

I have the same problem. It doesn't seem to be measuring the portions very carefully at all. I have it set to two meals of 1/4 cup a day, and sometimes it only drops out like 5 or 6 kibbles, and then other times it will plop out like 3/8.

Umm. Kibble pieces seem to be good for my dog--75 lbs pitbull. I think they're appropriate for most dogs in 25-125lbs range. Thats a huge range, but I have even seen the midnite possum come thru and eat leftovers in my dogs bowl. They are medium size pieces. Good dog food here.

I never measured. It would depend on the size if the kibble I suppose. It kept my small dog busy for about an hour.

I was just there, so go log into the Honest Kitchen.com site and near the top, click on the "Help Center" and then the first choice is "How much to feed". It references a 7 and 10 pound box (various formulas), the weight of the dog and one column tells you about how long it will last. This would be a great place for you to start reading, think it will answer your question and more :) I have used their food for years....really and tried all of them. My dog as well as other is allergic to chicken, so we stay away from the formulas with that. It's great food and you won't find a better company with better practices (I really believe that).

I would say about a cup of kibble. More might make it hard for it to come out when your dog rolls it around.

I have used two sizes of dog food--two different dogs--both adult labs. Neither of them chew their food, however they went from about 15 seconds--honest-- to about 15-20 minutes. The larger dog food that we used could be compared to a large blueberry. Sorry, that is the only comparison I can think of. Good luck.

I have a small Shiba weighing in at about 15 pounds and she does fine with it. The pieces are a little bigger than "small dog" food, but I think it's good in the sense that she actually has to chew the kibble and doesn't just woof it down in two seconds.

the kibble is pretty small, slightly larger than a pea. great for all size dogs. easy for a little guy or to slow down a larger dog i feed from a muffin tin.

I usually fill it about 1/3 full with my dog's regular kibble--Wellness for large dogs--and then add a little of Milk Bone Trail Mix to sweeten the pot. Seems to make him happy!

yes, that is not a problem. I have used the small kibble and the larger bites. both work.

I have never used the original kibble but I use ocean formula all the time. I have a corgi, 27 lbs and about the same length as a beagle. She doesn't seem to have a problem with the dog food. It isn't that large (just under 1/2 inch) and doesn't seem to be very hard. Everyone tells me how beautiful her coat is and are amazed my dog is actually 9 1/2 yrs old. I contribute it to the dog food, fish equates to omega 3s. She is allergic to meat and poultry so all she gets is the ocean formula (they mean what they say, pure fish and no grains). I do give her carrots for treats. She is still pretty spry when walking and playing. I have never used the original kibble but I use ocean formula all the time.

The kibble is very small. I recommended it to a friend who has a chihuahua who won't eat dry food, and the chihuahua eats it with no problem (and loves it! my friend was thrilled). So I think it would be okay for your dogs. Good luck!

I think you'd be better off with the medium, unless the kibble size is extremely small. I used the small when my dog ate kibble the size of a pea. You can also cut the inside prongs (there are 3-4) and to let the food out a little faster. Hope that helps.

The Hills Science Diet large breed adult kibble is good size. I have a 90lb lab and he crunches it up before swallowing. Hope this helps!
