Happy dogs!

I recently switched to this formula of Blue Buffalo and I have been more than pleased! My two dogs love the taste and both of their coats are so shiny and the is a lot less shedding!

Shepherd Nose Loves it

My dog seems to enjoy it. I don’t see any allergic reactions and I don’t have to add flavorful smells to it.

Best Blue Buffalo for dogs

Lamb is best for dogs, for sensitive skin and stomachs. It would be nice if this was stocked in the stores

Members mark OUT OF STOCK

The product is great. But, it’s not what I needed. Members Mark brand has been out of stock for weeks. The dog can’t starve & doesn't do well with changing her food. But we had no choice.

It is supposed to be about the care of the animal.

Bought this because the store I get another brand from was closed. It is the next best one aside from the regular one he is accustomed to. My dog doesn't like it but it doesn't make him ill as others do. I gave it a 4 because it is over priced. $65 for a 36lbs bag is not okay.

Inconsistent

They keep changing this food! Last month the kibble was smaller and caused upset stomachs for both of my dogs. This month its back to the slightly larger size and they seem fine. Never know what you are gonna get!

Makes my dogs itch

Bought the Chicken one. While back and they started itching like crazy. Thought it might be the chicken but switched brands anyway. Saw Blue at Sam’s but this time with Lamb and no chicken, it starting itching again shortly after using. Not sure what it is about this brand, but it just makes my dogs itch

Has CHICKEN! NOT for dogs with chicken allergies!

My Wheaten Terrier is allergic to chicken. We have been feeding her Nutro Lamb and Rice, which she digests well, but does not particularly enjoying eating. We wanted to try a different brand that she might like and were eager to try this, but the second ingredient is chicken meal and it also has chicken fat. Disappointing

My dogs refuse to eat this food!

My two dogs have a pretty good intuition when it comes to food, they won’t drink bad water even if they are thirsty during a walk on a hot day. I am absolutely disappointed with this food but I don’t feel like taking it back to Sam’s. I tried returning it online to no avail.

Poor packing

When I opened the shipping box (without cutting) the bag inside had a long slit in it. The dog food, which is very expensive, had spilled over 1/2 the bag inside the box and was ruined!
