    Since I have switched to this dog food, I have noticed a decrease in the “corn chip” smell on her paws. Which is a plus.

    Gideon loves his Blue Buffalo Chicken & Rice food so much, he even cuddles up with his bowl! I can trust that it has the best healthy ingredients he needs to stay healthy. We've never had any stomach issues, and he's eaten this since he was a pup. The price is a little high, but worth it for a brand I trust.

    I can't recommend the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Chicken and Brown Rice enough! Not only is it packed with quality ingredients like real chicken, but my dog Bentley absolutely loves it. It's clear that Blue Buffalo prioritizes nutrition and taste, making mealtime a joy for Bentley and giving me peace of mind knowing he's getting the best. Highly recommend!

    This food was recommended to me by a well known Veterinarian. He said all his dogs were healthy and vibrant on this formula. My Veterinarian says my old pug is in very good health for his age, and I think it's because of Blue Life Protection. My dog loves it! Thank you for providing a quality product.

    Although blue buffalo has a higher price tag than other brands I don’t change it for anything else. I been giving this brand to my 3 year old corgi since I got her and never had an issue. Also, when she had puppies, I feed all her litter with blue buffalo for puppies. They all grew to be healthy dogs and still enjoy eating blue buffalo.

    I’ve been feeding my Labrador this for years. It’s great quality food and he loves it. No food allergies have occurred. The largest bag is the best value if you have a large dog like me.

    We started feeding this to our dog Macy after she started refusing to eat all the other brands we had been feeding her.. immediately she took to this brand & flavor! She's now been eating it for over a year and she still loves it! When we got her she was under weight and we could never get her weight right with other brands (partially because she would refuse to eat) since she has been on Blue. She has gotten her weight right, and actually gained a bit extra lol. So now, she's on a diet.. kind of. This brand is a bit more than others, but the fact that she actually will eat it and likes it, that alone makes it worth every penny! There is a lot of good things in this food vs other brands so that's great!

    This brand is great but a little on the expensive side. With 4 dogs it gets hard financially to keep this brand in my house.

    Our pups are super picky with the foods they eat and this is their favorite brand of food. Blues is amazing. The ingredients are great and nutritious. Not just fillers other brands put this is actually good for your dogs. We will always buy this brand!

    Good ingredients and healthy and balanced. I started out buying this years ago and it’s good but since I’ve found different ones they were just as good for better price.
