Hi there and thank you for your post! The size of kibble may make it easier for a smaller dog to eat if the kibble bites are smaller. Sometimes, depending on the dog and Its preference for texture, some small dogs prefer large bites over small bites and some dogs prefer small bites over large bite. I would offer both types to see which one is preferred. There are no health benefits over eating small versus large kibble. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have

Yes, it is fine to feed Kiba a food that is larger kibble! In fact, feeding larger kibble makes dogs chew a little more, which is great for preventing tartar build up on their teeth. Just watch Kiba the first few times that you feed it to make sure that he is chewing well and doesn't seem to have any choking from swallowing large pieces.

This is a great question about Chloe. I do not believe it is necessary for her to be on a "small bites" food. As long as she is on a good, well balance food then a little large kibble is perfectly okay. Natural Balance LID is a great diet and as long as she is willing to eat the regular sized kibbles, then go for it! (p.s. I love cavaliers!)

Kibbles and Bits is considered a "grocery" brand food, and while nutritionally balanced, may not be the highest quality compared to some other brands. However, most all commercial dog foods need to meet a set of AAFCO standards to be on the market, and checking for an AAFCO statement on the bag can help you determine if it meets these standards. People food should be limited as dogs cannot digest or handle all of the items we eat. Some foods may cause digestive upset if they are too high in fat or contain toxic ingredients. Bananas and small pieces of sausage/hotdog, however, should be OK in moderation (small amounts!). Dog kibble can also be used hidden inside chew toys or other objects as a treat incentive without causing issues.

Kibbles-n-Bits is an ok food, but not the greatest. Given that Luna was fed it at the shelter, I do not recommend changing her food because a change of food can lead to GI upset. It's best to keep her on a food she's doing well on. As they say, if it's not broke, don't fix it! I hope this helps :-)
