Horrible

The worst dog food ever. After their acquisition by another company Blue Buffalo has gone from standard gold to absolute garbage. My dog lost weight, fur and drive after eating the current formula. This food is not even fit for the lowest vermin and should be pulled off the shelves of any store carrying it, immediately

Dog hates it!

I stocked up on this in March when dog food was flying off the shelves and my options were limited dur to Corona Virus. My dog, who is a chocolate lab (and not a picky eater), hated it. I would put the food in her dish and it would sit there until she finally got hungry enough to eat some of it (never finishing the whole dish). Thankfully we got through the bag and are back to Diamond Naturals or Taste of the Wild which she find far more palatable.

So sorry to hear that! We recommend splashing some warm water on their food to help bring out the natural aromas, flavor and texture of the kibble.

My dogs liked this food and I never had any negative effects from it. I was recently informed while making a dog food purchase that this company is under a lot of scrutiny and controversy with several law suits. Hundreds of animals have gotten sick and even died from this food. After hearing this information I am switching brands because it is too risky. I love my dogs and would never want to put them in harm's way.

My dog loves this brand! He always gets excited when he sees me filling up his food bowl. He recently became allergic to another brand so we switched him to Blue Buffalo and within a week he was 10x better. Blue Buffalo is very transparent about what is in their food. As a dog owner, this is important to me. I would definitely recommend this brand!

Blue buffalo is my go to brand if I'm in a pinch and need food fast by being lazy and not ordering it off somewhere online or picking up some extra in the store, he typically will just scarf this down every time I get it. I'm typically a skin and coat dog food person but this is really good for something you may need in a pinch

Dangerous Dog Food

Recently I attempted switching both of my boxers to this dog food. I did it gradually so to be easier for stomachs. Anyhow within days both of my boxers got very sick. Their vet said take them off Blue immediately and throw it away. They have lost dogs to it. Online there are all kinds of similar reviews and complaints. Luckily once I took them off the food they were healthy again.

My dog has a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful what I give her. I found this brand and it has been amazing I have never had an issue. The ingredients are clean and it's worth it! A little more expensive then some but if your dogs are part of your family they deserve quality food as well!

My pup absolutely loves

My pup absolutely loves this with some salmon oil mixed in with her dinner. She eats this up really quick (but not too fast). She used to eat some other less expensive brand that I can't even remember and it just wasn't great for her health or coat. I would highly recommend this food.

I thought that blue buffalo was an amazing brand. It did seem to work for our pup. However I have seen some horrible things happen to friends' pets after having this food. It can make your dog terribly sick. Not as natural as they make themselves out to be.

The best part of my dog's day is when she eats her Blue Buffalo food twice a day. My only concern is that she's gained a bit of weight since we switched to Blue Buffalo but if you have a dog that is less susceptible to weight gain then I'd definitely recommend this product.
