Kibble size affects palatability only. Nothing else. Kibble size has zero effect on the nutritional value of any food.
Calcium, phosphorus and calorie ratios are critical for a large or giant breed puppy and should take precedence over the size of the kibble.
My recommendation: Use the Custom Search link and select the Type 2 – LG Br Pup option and check the “Dry” feature. This will remove canned and raw foods from the list. I found 43 individual recipes that would be suitable for your Saint Bernard puppy.
And there are many more if you’ll select a recommended brand or sub-brand you like and choose one that meets AAFCO profiles for either Growth or All Life Stages AND contains the words “includes the growth of large size dogs”.
Another suggestion: Avoid switching to an Adult Maintenance food until your puppy reaches 24 months.
Hope this helps.
