Changing brand of Dog Food
We currently have 4 dogs at home, three Cocker Spaniels and one Silky Terrier. We feed them Nutro Small Bites dog food. The issue I have is the cost keep going up and the size of the bag keeps getting...

One of our rescued dogs is a small 8 pound Maltese mix. Bella came into our home last year being fed the same brand (Natural Balance Duck & Potato) that I've always fed my 20 pound Lhasa but in the "small bites". I successfully transitioned her to the regular sized kibble, mostly because of the availability (lack thereof) of the small bites. She does just fine with the size of the food, I mixed what the rescue group gave me with what we had and she transitioned.
I'm wondering if you could mix the sizes together for a little while and see how your dogs like it or if they have any issues with the larger kibble?
If you do change the brand or formula of their kibble I would suggest making it a slow transition, mixing the new with the former brand and increasing the amount of the new brand over a number of days. Much less chance for stomach upset that way.
Good luck...
Double ditto. Another option would be to get the regular sized kibble and reduce it in a food processor. FPs are so cheap now you can keep one just for the dog food.
