No optons for bag size

Why would you only make this in a 3lb bag? That makes zero sense. I have 2 senior dachshunds and I need at least a 10lb bag.
Royal Canin response
I am very sorry. We only offer this formula in one size currently.

Great nutrition, Our Dachshunds love it

We have been using only this food since our dachshunds were old enough to eat it,after using the puppy food prior. Our two are five and seven now and in good health. We are so pleased with this food. They both enjoy it.
