My picky dog loves it!

My dog wouldn't hardly eat her food prior and had skin allergies. We were trying an expensive no grain food until we heard the bad heart health warnings about grain free diets. On a whim, after reading Dog Food Advisor, we tried this and now she always eats her food. Better yet, her hair has all own back— she's not itchy! As a plus, I am no longer worried about her heart.

Great wholesome food that has our pets in mind for

I have used this kibble for several years from Sam’s, I have had a corgi and a chichuhua(2), and a boxer on this food. I find it is expensive but it is worth the money due to seeing them healthy. They haven’t been sick and they seem to enjoy the dry kibble except the little balls that roll away from the bowl! I also feed them fresh veggies from our garden in the summer months and still supplement with blue buffalo! They haven’t stopped eating it yet! I don’t worry about what is in my kibble, I believe it is wholesome made for my fur babies .

I love feeding this to my yorkies. I have 2 which are older An need to nutrition this brand provides. The size of the bites are small so if your dog has missing teeth it's easier to handle. My dogs are so picky to. This has been the only one they consistently have eaten well.

We recently switched our dog from Purina One to this and so far, everyone is happy with it! We love it because of the quality ingredients and our chihuahua loves it because of the taste and the small sized pieces that are easy for him to chew. Our dog was an extremely picky one for years (we tried to wean him off of his current food and onto a healthier option several times with no success) but he actually loves this food!!

20% Price Increase!!!

Today I was buying Blue Life Protection Formula for my three small dogs. They have eaten this food their entire lives. SURPRISE! The Six pound bag is now a FIVE pound bag at the same price, meaning we are paying around seventeen percent more. I am beyond angry that they would pull a chicken move like this. I will be looking for a comparable quality dog food to replace Blue.

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.

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.

What my decision on dog food comes down to is whether A) I am happy with the ingredients in the food and B) if my dog will eat it. My dog is very picky and loves this food. Plus I am very happy with the ingredients of the food. I've been buying Blue Buffalo for years and will continue to do so.

My dog stays healthy eating this

My fur baby, Pepper, loves this food. I tried to get a picture of her eating it, but she was wiggling too much. That's how much she loves it. You can see her coat is shiny and she is very healthy. She has never had issues with digestion. I like that it comes in smaller bags, because she her portions are small and the food remains fresh to the end. I also appreciate the price, which is not cheap, but reasonable for what I'm getting.

Great option

Used this food for my dog as soon as she aged out of their small breed puppy food and it was great for a long time! With their new options we no longer use this food, only complaint was that she refused to eat the small circular balls that are in the bag. I believe that was her preference! -Olive, Four year old Cockapoo
