Why is the kibble small?

Troubleshooting
Dog is hesitant to eat the new food
Try mixing a small amount of warm water or low-sodium bone broth to enhance the natural scent and soften the kibble.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning your dog to Orijen should be done gradually over a 5-to-7-day period to prevent digestive upset. Mix an increasing amount of Orijen with the previous food until the transition is complete. To maintain freshness, store the food in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use to minimize oxidation and retain the natural fish aroma. This formula is suitable for all small breed adults, but always consult with your veterinarian if your dog has specific dietary restrictions or underlying health conditions.
