We have two JRTs, both adopted from a rescue group. Jack, our male, has severe allergies. We tried so many different brands and even started making their food and supplementing with the name brands. Despite our efforts, Jack ended up in the hospital twice due to vomiting. He was on meds and going to the vet too often. We tried Nulo and within three days he was a completely different dog. His rash was just about gone, no vomiting and he was like a puppy. His energy level was that of a typical Jack Russel. I seriously cannot say enough good about this product. Yes, it may cost a bit more but it's cheaper than vet bills and he is off all allergy medicine now. I would highly recommend this product!
Smells fishy - grateful for the zip-lock bag closure.
My toy poodle eats dry dog food only when she's truly hungry, but went for this and ate it completely from the very first time it was offered to her. She dug out every morsel of this food and continued to ignore the dry dog food from her previous, different supplier.
The packaging says small breed dog but, I honestly didn't see much change in size from the regular Nulo dog food. That being said, I think this brand of dog food is one of the best out there. My little guy seems to love it and it contains good, healthy ingredients.
I have two yorkies, 6 lbs and 8 lbs different adult ages with different needs. So finding quality dog food specific to their sensitive tummies and requirements is not easy. I had them on a different well known high quality brand for years but the formula recently changed and gave them really bad digestive problems. I tried another quality dog food before this and it really upset their stomachs to the point that I had to have them on a chicken and rice bland diet for nearly a month. Weening them off cooked food onto this took about two and a half weeks and they seem to be doing okay with it. Reason for 4 stars is the size of the kibble, my 8lb can eat it up easily but the 6lb dog has a tough time with it because it's a big piece of kibble compared to other small breed foods. I think if he were any smaller (less than 6lbs) he would not eat it because it would be too hard to chew for him. Overall, I think this is a good choice of food than a lot of the bigger brands out there. I thought it was cute my dog looks like the dog on the bag!
I adopted a rescue chihuahua that shelters dubbed 'unadoptable'. She was aggressive and grumpy, and fearful. Basically a grumpy cat. I switched to grain-free dog food after talking to a veterinary nutritionist. It's really helped her temperament overall.
After trying a number of different grain-free diets, I've stuck with the Nulo Salmon and red lentils recipe. My chihuahua hasn't gotten tired of it yet, which was the case with other diets. I constantly get compliments on how soft her fur is too. It's the food. As soon as I take her off, her fur loses the silky smooth feeling that she gets while on this food.

Description
For your dog's unique nutritional needs
Small breed dogs have faster metabolisms that are challenged by smaller stomachs. Their food needs to be more nutrient-dense than that of larger dogs. Nulo Small Breed Dry Dog Food contains 84% animal-based proteins, supplemented with miscanthus grass and L-Carnitine to regulate metabolism and manage weight. Nulo assembled the brightest minds in the pet food industry and, using the finest natural ingredients, created a unique recipe that whets your dog's appetite while supporting his continued good health.
Go grain-free for good health
Our grain-free recipe contains no wheat; corn; soy; artificial colors, flavorings or preservatives. Many toy dogs can have problems with blood glucose levels which rise and fall rapidly. Miscanthus grass digests slowly to help allay problems with hypoglycemia. We also added BC30 Probiotic to our exclusive formula to support healthy gut flora and make digestion easier. The result is a protein-rich recipe that keeps your dog feeling and looking great from head to tail, all day long.
Healthy eating for every stage and every breed
The amount of food that your small breed dog needs will depend upon activity level, age and environment. Our suggested Feeding Guideline should be adjusted as necessary to maintain optimal body weight. Nursing or pregnant dogs may need up to 3 times the normal adult amount. Nulo Grain Free Dry Dog Food provides a delicious, nutritionally balanced mean that satisfies your small breed dog and keeps him feeling fuller longer. Always provide access to clean, fresh water.

Switched my dog to this because it is a premium better for you product. He is crazy about this and his coat looks better and his whole demeanor perked up. I had heard about this from friends and am a Nulo fan big time. Highly recommend. Food was just food until Nulo entered his bowl, now he seems excited about mealtime and seems to know that this food is tastier/ better. Makes me feel better to Give him something he likes. Havanese breed, 4 year old. 15 lbs.
After considerable reading I chose Nulo for my 6 1/2 pound Morkie who is graduating from puppy food. It seems more wholesome than many other brands and the manufacturer has not been involved in any pet food recalls that I could find listed online. The best part is that Zooey loves it and is transitioning nicely from puppy food. We are up to a 2/3 Nulo and 1/3 puppy food mix.
My yorkie liked this. He has some skin allergies, so we have to be super picky about his food and this worked for him without giving him skin issues. :)
My dog loves it! The low carb content has helped to keep away her ear infections.
Our two Chihuahua mixes love this food. The kibble is a good size for small dogs
