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.

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Rice Formula Small Breed Dry Dog Food

"My dog is a very picky eater, but she really enjoys this food. I've been feeding her Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Rice Formula Small Breed Dry Dog Food for five years, and it has been fantastic for her. It provides her with the energy she needs to stay active and supports her muscles, joints, and overall mobility. Her stool is consistently solid, which is great, and she doesn’t experience any stomach issues with this brand. I’m genuinely pleased that my dog loves this flavor and eats it happily."

I had my previous

I had my previous Yorkie on [product:blue-life-protection-formula-dry-dog-food-chicken-&-brown-rice-recipe-small-breed-adult-dogs] and he loved it. He would eat a small amount once in the morning and a bigger bowl in the evening. When I got my rescue dog I thought I would try her on the same type of dog food. I noticed that she acted like she was extremely thirsty and would drink an entire water bowl after every time we came back inside. We took her to the vet and after confirming that she did not have any health issues the vet recommended we try another food because this food tends to have more sodium in it and could be causing her thirst. Once we changed the food she no longer guzzled the water down.

We would feed our puppy English bulldog this formula recommended by our vet. It’s important for English bulldogs and any dog really to have the proper diet, but English bulldogs get overheated to easily to exercise so their diet needs to be impeccable to say the least. So we use the adult formula now and have for 2ish years. Our bulldog is in amazing health and weight, the vet says he’s one of the healthiest weights for a bulldog he’s ever seen!

We have been using this brand for a long time. It is actually the only brand we have been using for 7 years. It is costly, however, hey! We should treat our fur babies as family members, right? My dog loves it and he had never had any problems with it in the past. Great digestion/ no allergies and etc. I can mix it with other brands of wet food though. All in all, great doggie food!

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!

Gives more energy!

I just switched my small breed dogs from Purina One to Blue Buffalo Small Breed Adult within the last month. I have three senior dogs and two young adults. I've seen a h7ge change in my seniors! They are more active than they have been in years. My 14 year old actually plays with toys now. All the dogs seem to feel good and their coats are beautiful. I'm getting a puppy this weekend and he's going on the lamb and oatmeal blue puppy food.

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.

Great dog ! My dog truly enjoys these food compared to others. It took some time to find the prefect food for him. He is a small multis poodle mix, so he doesn’t need much but it keeps the weight off and keeps him healthy. I tell all of my pet mom and dad friends about this product all the time.
