This Hill’s Small Paws kibble contains the perfect blend of ingredients that go easy on your small adult dog’s stomach while promoting lifelong immune support. Finicky eaters even love this mix, with one five-star pet parent writing, “I was anxious to see if she would actually continue eating these kibbles since it has happened before that she will eat a new kibble for the first one to two days and then she never touches it again. BUT she STILL EATS THIS EVERY DAY! … I read through a bunch of reviews and it seems people have similar experiences. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!”
If kibble isn’t cutting it for your picky eater, but the idea of dealing with wet food leaves you less than thrilled, check out these patties from Stella & Chewy. The patties are freeze-dried and can be eaten right out of the bag, or rehydrated with water. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but over 6,300 pet parents say they’re worth the money.

The small-breed blend of Nutro Natural Choice is made with non-GMO products and has real protein listed as the first ingredient. This variety, which is a crunchy kibble that helps keep teeth clean, has a 4.8-star rating on Amazon, and picky senior dogs are among the brand’s biggest fans.

This 4.8-star kibble from Blue Buffalo is a favorite among pet parents with senior dogs. It contains vet-approved antioxidants for immune health, as well as glucosamine and chondroitin to help support joint health and overall mobility. “Our senior Boston terrier mix, Dante, was looking shabby with a dull and dry coat and was creating some very unpleasant odors,” one five-star customer wrote. “His condition improved after we switched to Blue Buffalo. His digestion improved (not as many farts!) and his coat became smooth and shiny within a few weeks. His breath is better, too!”
Containing vitamin E, omega 6 fatty acids and other nourishing ingredients, the Hill’s Science Diet formula for pups with sensitive skin and stomachs improves fur health and regulates small dogs’ digestive systems. Plus, with every purchase, Hill’s donates to shelter dogs in need.
To support gut health and a healthy immune system, Purina formulated a specific Pro Plan high-protein dog food containing live probiotics with that shredded texture dogs crave. And even the pickiest eaters love this stuff. “One of our dogs is an extremely picky eater, whether it's treats, kibble or canned … I decided to look into Purina and noticed Pro Plan Savor has shredded meat in a tender texture,” one pet parent wrote. “Our dogs finally started showing more interest, especially in the lamb and rice formula.”
The 4.8-star-rated large-breed kibble from Eukanuba is a protein-based food that promotes lean muscle development and joint health, and is made for active dogs. It contains healthy fats, carbohydrates and even DHA and vitamin E to help keep their minds sharp as they age.
