Our read The ingredients
Corn and soy kibble, cut small for little mouths
Signature feature
Mini bits
Mini-sized pieces to help ease chewing & digestion
What it is Every piece in the bag, the crunchy and meaty bits alike, is made at a smaller size. It's the shape of the kibble, not an ingredient on the list.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Small pieces do help toy dogs pick up and chew their food, which is why most small-breed kibbles do it. Digestion happens after chewing, so size changes little there.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Corn syrup and propylene glycol, both above the salt, keep the meaty bits soft. The chicken on the front is natural flavor, ninth.
- 6 corn syrup
- 9 natural flavor
- 10 propylene glycol
- 11 Salt
