The BEST dog kibble for the lowest price

Blue Buffalo Cjicken and Brown Rice for Large breed is the only kibble that keeps my Akita Inu healthy and playful with no stomach issues or health problems. And at Sam's Club, it's the lowest price pr. Ounce, which matters when you're buying high quality dog food for the furry family members. The bag gives you 8 more lbs of food for a lower price than other stores. And the contents of the bag with perfectly in my dog food storage, so no keeping the bag with just a little bit left in it.

Dogs like it.

My dogs eat this. Stools are not a lot like with some foods so you know there’s not a bunch of filler. It rated high on dog food advisor and on sale, it’s a great deal for sure.

Quality dog food at an exceptionally fair price

I run a 501c(3) dog rescue and quality dry dog food is at the top of my list of important things you can provide for the health and wellness of your dog or puppy. I exclusively use Blue Buffalo products to feed my rescue dogs knowing that this product supplies a high level of protein without unnecessary fillers. At Sam's Club I also get the best value for my money at a rock bottom price compared to pet stores. They often run the 8 dollar off coupon which brings this product into a very reasonable price point for the 38 pounds of food you receive.
