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.

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.

Only one drawback

I have been feeding this to my 3 dogs for many years. My chihuahua picks out the small black pieces because they are too hard. At first I thought it was the taste but her topping was a little wetter one day and she eats them if well-moistened. The size of them changed recently but she still does the same thing. You can tell she has a hard time getting first bite into them. Has regular dentals so it’s not her teeth. This seems to be a common issue for others as well.

Great dog food my dog love it except for the life source bits she spits them out on the floor I guess they are a little harder to chew on but I’ve fed her this since day one and she never ate them. The food itself is a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

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!

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.

My puppy loves these kebble more than the other ones we have gotten him which is a good thing. These kebbles are a lot smaller and so I think that’s a reason why he loves these more. He is able to eat these with no additional mix to it and I’m so happy we found these dog food. Highly recommend!

My fur baby loves Blue Buffalo! He unfortunately has a very weak stomach and this is the only brand he can tolerate. It is a little pricey BUT is worth every penny because not only does he and his stomach approve, but I believe it’s what has helped keep him so healthy and youthful in his 10+ years.

Great for dogs who have sensitive or fewer teeth

My small dachshund had to lose his upper row of teeth due to health problems and so I needed to switch to a easily swallowable food for him. This product is great because the kibble is small and doesn’t require a lot of chewing so it’s easier for him to eat his meals without too much difficulty.

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.
