A classic choice for small dogs
I fed this to a pair of small breed dogs for many years. They loved this food and always ate it happily. The last time I used this my vet advised complete nutrition formulas instead, so I've changed to another dog food, but this was a dog approved favorite for a very long time in my household.

Best Blend For Our Best Friend
It’s hard to gauge pet food since we’re unable to taste it, so our only other options are are dog “Shadows’lreaction to his food or looking at the ingredients. This Blue Buffalo Small breed adult formula has a lot of great ingredients and nutrition that Shadow needs. The same way we shop for our groceries, by looking at the ingredient label, we do the same with our furry family. Blue Buffaloes ingredients start out with: debone chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, oatmeal, barley, chicken fat, flaxseed and omega. Every now and then Shadow will protest his food which means he’s getting tired of that flavor or that brand so we will switch it up.

15 lb Bag was cut and spilled all over my floor and the packaging box when I lifted out of box. When I initiated a return I didn't realize I needed to box it up and return for a refund. Bag spilled all over my floor when I tried to repackage. What a pain I will never oder this online from Target again.

Perfect bites for little dogs.
Great quality food! The small bites are perfect for my little dog and I like that it has good ingredients and no fillers. Nutritious and my little dog loves it!

Amazing Value
My Dog loves this food. Not sure what it has but it made his coat silkier & shinier. Not saying it’ll do the same to yours, but, it’s worth a shot. Great Price, as well as presentation. Make sure to get the correct one for your size/breed.
