My little Roxy loves this one over all others. She has tried almost every flavor of blue buffalo, but this is the only one she seems to really get excited for. This is a great buy and based on how much Roxy loves it, I would encourage all dog owners to make the right choice and get only the best for their pups.

Great qualities with this!

We got this food for our dachshund mix when he was about 2 years old and next month we think he’ll be 10, he’s a rescue so not 100% sure about his birthday. Anyway we took him to the vet today for a checkup and our vet bragged about how shiny his coat was and how muscular he still was for his age. Our dog is also still playful and energetic for his age and we believe this food has played a role in giving him that quality of life. This food has been great, we’ve never had any issues with it and our dog enjoys it!

This is the one brand of food my dog will actually eat. He is very picky and turns his nose up at most dry foods, but this he gobbles up as soon as it is in front of him. Smaller pieces which makes it easier for him to eat since he is between 5 and 8 pounds.

My yorkie seems to really like this food. He’s very picky and particular, but he’s never had a problem with it. I like how it comes in really small kibble for his tiny mouth. Good quality food for my dog. I would recommend to other yorkie and small dog owners!

My lil Maltese has lots of sensitivities; wheat, perfumes etc. so every so often I switch his food when I notice he starts licking his paws. He gets bottled water, in a stainless steel bowl (no ceramic) very rarely eats table food or wet food. He’s been through a few brands but he seems to like this one..he’s been eating it for a year now.

My girls were not

My girls were not liking it at first try. I had to add a topper ,for them to even taste. They get home cooked food, for breakfast and kibble for dinner. Finally PDE decided, that it wasn’t too bad. Paisley Park still needs something added to hers. The downside is that it gives PDE horrible gas. The price is a bit much. The ingredients are healthy, but if they won’t eat it , it’s not worth it. I will not be purchasing again.

We love this Healthy option of dog food for our fur babies. However; when I take my dogs to visit my son and his dogs they eat the Purina dog food he gives his dogs like they are famished??? My Betty (the white one spits the small pieces of her Blue Buffalo dog food on the floor, apparently she doesn't like them at all.

It’s really tiny little bites

I have Yorki and whenever we feed him some other brand or other flavor of this food his stomach always reacts really bad to it. BUT after trying million of different foods, we found one the best one. It’s really also depends on the dog. Because I’m sure not all Yorki’s are going to like it, or maybe even some dogs might be allergic to it. You never know. But I definitely recommend to try.

Do not recommend!

I purchased this for my almost 10 year old yorkie to transition from royal canin approximately one month ago. At first she loved the food and would clean out the bowl, which is unusual for her as she has a very sensitive stomach and has a tendency to be extremely picky when it comes to food and treats. Fast forward to now, she no longer wants to eat any of the food. She hides out in the bedroom majority of the day as I can only assume she isn’t feeling well judging by the amount of times she asks to go outside and the noises I hear coming from her stomach. She is up constantly throughout the night to go out and even with being let out is having accidents inside of the house which are a runny consistency, not to mention she farts constantly and they smell awful. Long story short I would not recommend this food or brand to anyone that values their pets health. I was so excited to try it due to the great reviews I read and the clean ingredients, but have been extremely turned off from this brand.

Picky Little Dog Loves this

Blue Buffalo is the only dog food I've found that Toby actually likes. Several quality foods gave him gastrointestinal problems but this one doesn't. He doesn't overeat or eat inappropriate things so I believe it to also be good for him. While I'm not going to say that his coat absolutely glows or anything, it looks the same as when I've fed him other quality foods. Toby likes the Whitefish recipe better but he says this one is yummy and for the price, I'm pleased to get this one.
