Question 2

How big is the kibble? My GSD inhales food and small pieces cause her to choke and cough most of the time

Accepted Answer

They are 5 sided pieces, one side is 1/2" and one is 3/8", the other sides being no larger than that. Have you tried putting something in the bowl that your dog has to "eat around" to get to the food? I did that with my cat, put an empty thread spool in the bowl that he had to push around to get at the food, instead of inhaling it whole in 5 seconds! Something like an upside down bowl might help!

Question 3

where is this product and all its ingredients produced..?

Accepted Answer

I quit using this product because of questionable resources. I think they sold out to Purina or ?? .their canned food has carrageenan in it.

Question 4
