These are excellent for small dogs as the bites are small and I trust this brand because they use quality meats and minimal ingredients. They are a little more expensive then some of the other brands but worth the extra few dollars. My chihuahua has always eaten blue buffalo and he's very healthy.

Just switched my old man over to this a few days ago because he is dealing with some health issues so figured maybe something with some more nutrients and vitamins would be good. He is picky and loved his current food so I was worried the switch wouldnt go well but he gobbled it down. Will continue giving it to him and see how it goes.

I switched from Royal

I switched from Royal Canin to Blue Buffalo for my senior Shiba Inu a few years back and haven't regretted it once. Jackie loves to gobble down the Blue Buffalo kibble, doing a wiggly little butt dance as soon as he sees it coming. With the other brands he wasn't as excited for meal time and often left kibble sitting in his bowl till the next feeding time. The kibble itself is also so much easier for him to eat, especially as he gets on in years. I love that its cheaper than the higher end brands but just as healthy, full of all the nutrient Jackie needs without any fillers or meals. Best band brand you can buy for your dog without breaking the bank but also making sure they have everything they need.

Good Dog Food!

This food is also a good choice. I fed this to my dogs years ago and they all seemed to enjoy it. The only reason why I switched because the store we were purchasing this from continuously didn't have the chicken and my dogs don't do well on any other flavors. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Great food with many benefits!

This dog food is perfect for my small adult dog: She is not quite a senior dog yet, but this Food has supported her through all of her phases. The food is small and easy for her to digest, while still having a good texture to clean her teeth. She is a very picky eater so it is nice knowing she is eating something that fits all of her needs. The food has a light smell and the packaging is easy to open and keeps the food fresh. I highly reccomend this food!

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.
