Best dog food for small breed adult dogs

I have bought this dog food for my dogs for over 25 years now. They were on the small breed puppy food until they were 3 years old. Then they started eating the small breed adult food . never had a problem or issues with my fur babies and the vet is always impressed with their visits.

on a budget and still buy the good stuff

Dog with many allergies, tired of cooking the turkey and potatoes that Vet had me doing. She is doing well on the Blue Buffalo. No side effects. All is good. I have 3 rescue dogs and they all like this food. Yes, it does cost more than the cheap stuff, but the old dogs are healthy on this food. Saves on vet bills, so it is worth spending more on a quality food

Good, solid food

Blue Buffalo is good, dry dog food for my girls. A Yorkie and a Shih Tzu can each be very particular. (Bratty) They both like this small breed, small size kibble. It is very digestible and well tolerated, even by sensitive tummys.

My dogs only get the best food!! This food doesn’t make me dog’s stomach upset!! Blue Buffalo cares about your animals!! I’ve reached out to them before about a special food for my Siamese cat!! They responded right away and was able to help him!! I will always buy Blue Buffalo for all my animals!!

Small breed tested and more than approved!!!!

My male Deer Head Chihuahua loves this flavor and the size of the food pieces are perfect for him. He is perfect physical shape due to his food and exercising daily!!!! He chooses Blue Buffalo over any other dry food. We have been using Blue Buffalo since the first day he came home as a 13 week old puppy. He is now 1 1/2 years old. His name is Bam Bam JayLee Casanova and we are proud to say he chooses Blue Buffalo!!!!

Great Food!

I have been feeding this brand of dog food for five years now. I wouldn't feed my little fur baby anything else.

Great results

After my 4yr old bully started eating this food her energy level increased and it seemed to help her hip pain. She started playing like a puppy again!

For small size dogs.

I have been feeding my dogs this Blue Buffalo Small Breed to my Shih-Tzu's for years. They do well and are very healthy on this food. They are only about 12 pounds, the the Small Breed version is much easier for them to chew it, as it fits in their mouth much better.

Boston Terrier's love it

Wonderful product for our two Boston Terriers. We mix it with a bit of Can Beef stew or Chicken Dinner and they love it. They have had Blue Buffalo all their lives one is 12yrs and the other 11yrs. No real health problems plus they are very satisfied, fed twice a day. The recipe gets an upgrade ever so often but doesn't bother them . Very satisfied. Thick shiny coats lots of energy and happy.

Solved Vomiting but getting Fat

my 14# cockapoo was vomiting nightly with another brand. When I switched to Life Protection Formula small Breed Senior Dog she stopped vomiting and was more chipper. However, 6 months later and she has gotten so fat. I feed her 1 cup/day. she doesn't get the exercise in the winter as in the summer so maybe I need to reduce the amount to 3/4 cup/day. I'm worried she will start vomiting again from hunger.
