   I like everything about this dog food – since my dog likes it a lot and it’s not full of artificial coloring – except the price. It’s just about doubled in a couple of years. So I’m looking for a cheaper source…. But do highly recommend the product.

   We’ve been buying Blue Buffalo for over a decade. We switched from their Grain-Free version to the current Adult: Life Protection Formula after our vet conveyed that the community was concerned over specific health issues arising from major brand grain-free diets (not specifically Blue Buffalo), despite the causation being as yet unknown. The dogs didn’t seem to mind the change.We like the ingredient list, although we haven’t personally chemically tested the food to confirm its accuracy.The freshness is apparent when you open the bag, and we’ve been buying for years and never gotten one that wasn’t fresh.I cannot personally attest to the flavor. The dogs do seem to like it, though they’re picky little princesses so they prefer it mixed with a bit of chicken broth or a little wet food.

   I had my 10lb chihuahua on Hills Science Diet Lamb and Rice and a vitamin supplement. She would not eat all her food or even not at all. Her coat would be drab and she itched all the time from dry skin even after adding vitamin supplements. I decided to try Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice. Not only was it the same cost as I was paying for Hills it weighed a pound more. My dog absolutely loves it. Plus, I do not have to give her whole cup of food and baked chicken to fill her up when she would even eat the dry food. She always managed to eat the baked chicken though.I now give her the recommended amount of 1/4-1cup. I give her 1/4 dry and mix some baked chicken with the Blue Buffalo and she eats all of it up all of the time. No left overs. Her coat and skin is not as dry like before and I was able to stop adding vitamin supplements saving me money. My dog was transformed within 3 weeks to 1 month. I highly recommend this product.

   Absolutely the best dog food for your fur baby. We had a yorkie that had high cholesterol, very bad. We tried Iam’s, Purina, pedigree, eukanuba, hills and beneful. Each of the major dog foods we tried for 3 months and did blood work. Beneful was the worst. They all were bad, very bad. We switched to Blue Buffulo and her blood work came back normal range. We were skeptical so we had blood work done every 3 months for a year and all of her blood work came back normal. Amazing.If you find this review helpful, please click below. Good luck!

   I decided to do a taste test with my dog. I put a little bit of her IAMs dog food on one plate and then on another plate I put Blue Buffalo food, which she had never tried before She sat about 3 feet away waiting for my signal. When I told her it was OK to move, she first sniffed the IAMs food, and then sniffed the Blue Buffalo dog food. She proceeded to eat the Blue Buffalo dog food first. This indicates a clear preference for Blue Buffalo. So we are now switching to a better quality premium dog food. It costs more, but our dog is family. If you compare the ingredients, you’ll see that blue Buffalo definitely has the higher quality ingredients so it is worth it and so is our pug!

   This food works great for both my dogs. I will write out a description of their dog food history and health history to see if this food works for you!First dog, 4 years old german shepherd mix rescue:- she has many allergies (but no food allergies) and this is one of the only foods that does not make her itch- her “business” is always regular and she never direaha (she used to on Kirkland food)- her coat is healthy- affordable for the ingredients / quality- she is very picky for other foods (wont accept it as treat, will only eat once a day), but with this, she is always hungry for itSecond dog, 1 year old corgi:- used to buy Arcana for him thinking that he would love it, but he got tired of it and I switched him to her food. He loves this food so much more.- his “business” is always regular- no issues at all since he switched to this foodoverall, i would say try it out to see if your pet likes it! both of mine love it

   While I haven’t actually fully tasted the food, Charlie the Beagle is always excited after he eats and runs to kiss my face. He really seems to like this food and I think it makes him a happy and healthy dog. The only thing is sometimes he picks out the life source bits. I try to reason with him and say that he needs his healthy life source bits to continue to grow and be a healthy dog, but he doesn’t always listen. I included two pics of Charlie Beagle. The one with his mouth open and jumping up is him being happy right after eating Blue Buffalo food. (Doesn’t he look happy?) The other picture is of him without his Blue Buffalo. (He kind of looks sad) Pictures say it all!

   Our adult Golden retrievers seem to like this stuff.. Seems there is no one dry dog food that will give your dog everything he needs, so we definitely supplement their diet with other human foods that are good for them as well as other things such as glucosamine and omega fats.. They seem to like the Blue Buffalo dry food better than most others. It has good ingredients and leaves out most of the garbage that you definitely don’t want your dogs eating that is found in the cheap dog foods. Nice that it comes in a 34 pound bag. A little pricey as compared to run of the mill foods but you get what you pay for. Definitely much less expensive than the “premium” dog foods that only people with money can afford! BB seems to be a decent dog food that they actually like. Just don’t depend on ANY dry dog foods to give your pup everything he needs!

   I was feeding my dog “Taste of the Wild” and he seemed to be enjoying it for the most part. But as weeks progressed I noticed a terrible turn in his stool and his mood. I also noticed he wouldn’t eat the food once a put it down, he would leave the food untouched for 2 to 3 days at a time. That’s when I started to do more research. I started to compensate with Purina, but that only work for a week or so and it was back to unhealthy stool, lack of eating, downtrodden mood, and even vomiting. I started giving him peeled boiled potatoes, unseasoned white rice, and egg yolk just to put something in his belly. One day I was at home and clear as day I thought “Blue Buffalo” I know it was the LORD speaking to me because I had never inquired or researched this specific product. I didn’t hesitate, nor did I speculate. I jumped on Amazon and ordered this product which arrived 2 days later. Jackson (my blue nose pit) dove head first into his dog dish leaving no remainings. At first I thought maybe because he really liked it as he does most dog food upon initially trying it. But then I noticed a dramatic change in his stool, in his weight and in his behavior. I waited to see if any bad symptoms would reoccur but nothing happened. Jackson is well and loves his food. 15 pound will last a month and 30 pounds will last 2 months. I still give him the white rice and egg yoke occasionally. Rice puts more weight on him and egg yoke shines his coat something wonderful. Overall, Great dog food. Thank You JESUS and Thanks Amazon

    Our 7 year old Australian Shepherd was having very severe skin issues. Our vet couldn’t find the cause and suggested to switch foods. We’d been feeding Merrick & Merrick’s cheaper brand Whole Earth Farms for years, never thinking it was the food since his potty time was always fine & other than the skin issues he was in great health. Being so sick & tired of his poor skin problems I gave Blue Buffalo a shot & I gave it several bags before I made a decision as to if it was helping at all or doing nothing. I figured the food would probably have nothing to do with any of the skin issues and was just taking a shot in the dark picking Blue Buffalo. I was absolutely shocked that his skin issues are totally 100% gone now – all cleared up & 100% healed! Now I do want to be super clear here & state that I honestly believe it was the removal of his old food that was what caused this amazing improvement, not the addition of Blue Buffalo. Hope that makes sense!I mean that, I think any other good quality food would have very likely caused improvement in his skin issues. I just happened to choose Blue Buffalo & it just happened to work great for us! It’s good quality nutrition, our Aussie seems to like the taste, it’s always available here on Amazon & if for some reason I don’t want the Chicken & Rice at any point there are plenty other varieties to choose from. I really love when pet food companies have various kinds & flavors so we can keep our dog’s digestive system regular & give him some variety to keep him excited about food! We can switch between any of the varieties without any fuss because most of them have very similar ingredients. The biggest positive I can report is, we didn’t transition him at all from his old food to Blue Buffalo. So we were expecting some not-so-great potty results. Nope! All went smooth & no changes in his digestive system! We have ALWAYS had major trouble if we didn’t switch him slowly, so I was really surprised nothing happened negatively & his food transition went as easy as pie! I personally as of now highly recommend Blue Buffalo!
