Toy dog acceptable food.
I have 4 small breed dogs, 3 of them are extremely picky, and the 4th has digestive issues. The vet recommended Nutro Healthy Choice small breed chicken food. The dogs ate it with ease. The dog with issues, it was I introduced slowly. No problem of vomiting or diarrhea. She tolerated it very well. I love the small size of the kibble. My dogs are 5 lbs, so I have to assure they can bite into it. There were no texture issues.

A must have for every dog
The. Value is beyond what competitors offer, as well as the effectiveness and ingredients that are so good for my dog and she loves the scent of Nutro. She comes running as soon as the food hits her bowl. She could be in the most deep peaceful sleep, but when I pou her food she comes running and she eats every bite and licks the bowl clean before she walks away. This is a brand that I not only have used for years but this is a brand that’s well known and I brand that’s trusted and respected and a brand that cares about my dog, so when I.p buy Nutro for my dog, I know that she’s getting the very best for her and that makes me happy as a dog mom.

Great Food - Larger Bag Option Needed
Our shihtzus love this food. However the largest bag option of 13 lbs. isn't large enough, and costs more per lb. than th larger bags. Please offer a 22 lb. bag and/or a 30 lb. option.

Have Used This Brand for Years!
My 8 yo papillon and his 3 yo pap sis eat only this kibble. Fine product and the Vet said their bloodwork results were “stellar”. These are tiny dogs at 6-8pounds and our last purchase contained small kibble (as usual) but with larger bites added that they don’t eat. Why the change?

Luv Nutro kibble!!!
Ino enjoys this Nutro kibble! Perfect size to fit in her mouth and it’s nutritious. Daily she gets 1.5 cups of kibble along with one Greenie and once daily Pup*peroni. She is an 8Lbs Havichon with a full, white coat and clean skin. Excellent kibble and we appreciate Target carrying this food. Thank You.
