Dog food for small and large

I have a bit of a problem I am looking for a dog food I can put all my dogs on instead of buying separate foods. I have Emily and then I have six small (lap) dogs. I have to find one that will balance out to where my small dogs don't gain so much weight.

Any suggestions on what kind if there is any?

Most of the time, the only difference between "small breed" and "large breed" adult food is the kibble size, if your small dogs are gaining weight it's likely because you're feeding them too much, they shouldn't gain weight from eating appropriate amounts of any food. Just pick a good-quality food and feed your small dogs the right amount, give them enough exercise and they won't gain weight. :)

This is one of the original reasons we got attached to Canidae. At the time I was feeding dogs from 17 lbs. to 80 lbs. The kibble is sized right for all of them. Or, if you can find Nature's Variety "Prairie" line of foods, their kibble is even a bit smaller.

Solid Gold

I have had great luck with Solid Gold. Fairly small pieces and the food is not size specific. It has worked wonderfully for all of my dogs and seems to have wonderful nutritional value. They can be found online as well.
