She immediately started snacking on it. Small bites make it easier for a dog her small size to chew this. I definitely recommend this for small dog owners. I got this on prime sale so the value for the money was great in my opinion. It seems to have all the good benefits needed in a dry dog food without all the unnecessary fillers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chihuahua Approved *by on Reviewed in the United States 13 March 2024* I searched high and low for a good healthy food for my 10lb chihuahua that was actually nutritious, gentle on the stomach, and not full of fillers and then I found this miracle!One small bag lasts her one month exactly, with 1/2 cup eaten a day. She’s never been a big eater but she is a picky eater.She’s 9 years old, and has healthy teeth (the key is deer antlers and hard food for chihuahuas), and she’s never gained weight on it. I started her on it at about 1.5 years old when she was getting sick eating puppy chow and picking certain pieces out.She loves this food. It is a little on the pricier side but sooo much healthier than the junk you buy at Walmart or other non-pet department stores.I will say that when I first started buying it the bags were super nice because they had ziplock closures at the top to maintain freshness. Now they don’t so I use a bag clip to close it and keep it fresh. It was a nice feature though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 June 2026* Product is probably a really good product I just happened to have a very picky eater dog. In order for me to get him to eat it I sprinkle a little cheese on top that seems to work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Merrick Healthy Grains Premium Dry Dog Food For Small Dogs, Wholesome and Natural Kibble, Small Breed Recipe - 4.0 lb.
