[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog lived this food! We liked that it comes in two different shapes, perfect size! I found this to be a great option since my dog sometimes gets tired of the common chicken based foods. Also, it doesn’t upset her stomach. I though i the lamb smell would be steong, but it’s not at all, neither leaves my dog a bad breath. I defenitely recommend it!

MAKE IT RESEALABLE!

Dobetter - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
Shouldn’t have to buy a separate container to protect the food from pests just because I bought a larger bag. Makes zero sense.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They use REAL lamb! I would rate this higher if my dog would eat it. But for whatever reason my dog decided to be picky and not try this food. My parents dogs on the other hand have been eating this Blue Buffalo lamb dog food for a couple months now and they love it! Personally I think this is very over priced especially for having 2 dogs that would finish this in a day but it might be better for smaller breeds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Food and texture my dog seemed to enjoy. My dog didn’t digest well but could have just been that she did not do well with the change in food brand/ texture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs love this food, smells like any other kibble but the ingredients are great. They seem to digest it very well and it did not give them any issues when trying this new food. I also like how your able to seal the bag once opening it as others don’t provide that. Overall, I think this is a great option for my dogs and will keep giving it to them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dog food smell pretty good. The size is small for my dog to bite. And the first ingredient stated that it is real lamb, and no product meal and artificial flavors. My dog loves to have this dog food. I would purchase it next time.

Chow chows have a very special diet that requires a very special brand. I chose blue buffalo because its what they prefer over anything else Ive tried. They're actually excited about eating. Even if its the same flavor as yesterday. My chows both have a severe chicken allergy. The lamb, beef, and salmon are my go to. They especially love the salmon. I dont quite care for the smell, but they dont seem to mind it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pups enjoyed this being a lil extra in their bowls!! It fed then for about 3 days (1xbreakfast & 1xdinner). It didn’t smell like typical dog food & helped their digestive track for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing that grabbed my attention with this dog food was that the smell of it when I opened the bag smelled incredible just like a food that you were I would eat. Looking at the ingredients I can understand why because it uses really high-quality actual food ingredients which makes me really happy when feeding this to my dog. My dog absolutely loved this and cleaned her bowl each and every time she was fed this lamb and brown rice, dog food.

Good quality dog food, dislike small wellness bite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this dog food for years with my daschund and now my large goldendoodle. My goldendoodle loves the lamb, we have also tried the chicken recipe as well. I do feel that this is high quality food. My only complaint is that both of my dogs hate the little black bites in the food. I think they are wellness bites? My dogs actually spit them out and leave them all over the floor. I wish this company would disguise these bites better or change flavoring so my dogs get all the necessary nutrients.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell of this food is so delightful, I can tell because this girl dog can't help it but keep smelling through the bag. The package has an open/close seal bag, which is a plus. The dog just loves it. She has no problem trying this new food. It went well digestive wise. We're gonna keep buying this food now now.
