However, FWIW, ProPlan - which is a good quality kibble despite being
made by Purina, and won't break the bank like the so-called "premium"
kibbles- is in small, flattish, rounded pieces which even a very small dog
ought to be able to handle.

The only thing w/ ProPlan (at least the kind I used to buy) is that it is
hard as a rock! It takes quite a bit to soften it (w/ water) as well.
Coda had lost a molar, and I knew that the sensitive skin & stomach was one
food that he could eat while he recouped.
(He has several allergies, and it fed a mostly raw diet)

When I buy kibbles now, I get a bag of Prarie's Nature's Variety (I'm
currently feeding that mixed w/ their raw frozen until I acquire more
freezer space, my husband had a bounty hunting year and our 14cu ft. freezer
is FULL!). They are very tiny round pieces, and even Coda, allergies &
all, can eat it. In fact, I'm really pleased with the outcome I'm seeing
with feeding this to all three of my dogs.

Since many little dogs are known for dental issues, I'd make certain that
the OP's dog doesn't have any teeth issues that may be causing her
reluctance.
