Simple tasty food for my mutt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mutt likes lamb, and this is a perfect choice for him. The size is medium for a medium mutt like mine. It has quite a mild smell. The texture is dry, so I mix it with some wet food, and my mutt eats it all in one serving. The bag size is good for the starter if you'd like your dog to try before committing to a bigger bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an adult golden retriever with a sensitive stomach and this formula of lamb and brown rice sat well with him. He enjoys his food and is overall pleased. The dry dog food doesn’t have an overwhelming scent nor is it too big to chew.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pup loves this brand of food, it’s one of the few that he will completely eat with out spilling them all over the floor, the best part is that from the first time he tried them it does not upset his stomach or give him watery stools . The kibbles are great in size, they don’t have a heavy dog food scent , and it’s made with great ingredients! As long as the pup is happy we will continue to use this brand .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula with Lamb and Brown Rice, and it's been great. He loves the taste, and his coat looks shinier and healthier. I also noticed better digestion. I chose this formula because it has real lamb and no artificial additives. Just be sure to check the ingredients if your dog has chicken sensitivities. Overall, very happy with it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We can’t help but smile and lick out lips when Blue Buffalo is around. I mixed this food in with my pups normal food and I caught her picking out her old food in order to just eat this one so I take it she enjoyed it the taste. Her stomach handled it well & im looking forward to seeing the long term effects of the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs are loving this Blue Buffalo lamb flavor. I always give them chicken flavor but never thought lamb would be their favorite. They eat this food more than the other ones. And the package has a seal to close after using it it’s so easy to put it up and the food doesn’t loose their taste and the house doesn’t smell dog food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am already a fan if blue buffalo products and this lamb blend does not disappoint. My dog is a medium sized bernedoodle. He absolutely loves the taste. I was worried about the size of the morsels but most just did fine with them. He was able to digest them well. His vet said this is a good brand of dog food and so we stick with it! I would definitely recommend this product for an affordable option dog food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been curious about this dog food for a while now, & I’m so glad I finally got the opportunity to try it. For some background my dogs can be VERY picky, sensitive & weird when it comes to dog food. One of my dogs absolutely loves this food & she’s the one that has food sensitivities (stomach & skin related). The other dog enjoyed it at first, but will now pick through or spit out the little tiny darker colored bits. As for my own personal thoughts, I’ve used all types of dog food & the smell of this one doesn’t gross me out so that’s a plus! Also the bag is resealable which is very nice & convenient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brand is the only dog food I use for my dogs. The scent is mild and the texture is like normal dog food. The packaging is very nice and easy to open. I’ve personally seen a great change in my dogs after feeding them this brand for a few months.

Dog liked it but may have been rough on his tummy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog seemed to enjoy eating this and seemed to like the flavor but it is the only thing I changed in his diet (he only gets treats and NO human food) and unfortunately he had diarrhea the morning after. I will try again by mixing with his normal food but just wanted to share my experience. He is a 7 year old labradoodle.

We're sorry to hear your dog's reaction to our BLUE Life Protection Formula Lamb and Brown Rice Recipe! It’s always a good idea to introduce new food gradually, as you’re planning to do by mixing it with his regular diet. Every dog has unique preferences, and sometimes finding the right match takes a bit of trial and error. We truly appreciate your effort and hope your labradoodle feels better and adjusts well if you decide to try again!
