    The only kibble she will eat

    We supplement with this kibble (she's mainly on wet food) and this is the first kibble I've tried she will even touch.

    Chicken meal in it

    I purchased this food for my puppy because he was originally on Hills which has chicken in it. My rescue pup came from a shelter that was supported by donations from Hill’s Science Diet, so I kept him on it. However, he started to scratch and lick/bite at his paws. That’s when I saw the chicken meal. So I searched for a new food. Shame on me for putting my trust in this food. I have found another food that I am transitioning my pup onto and will not be buying this food anymore. They answered another review and said no chicken or chicken by-products. Well, what is chicken meal made from then?????

    Very misleading

    Our dog is itching more than ever! We assumed this was chix free but saw that the 2nd ingredient is chix meal. No wonder! Do not buy if your pup has allergies.

    Good but strange

    My puppies have been eating the lamb and oatmeal for the last 6 months….the ALL spit out the round pellets and only eat the triangle shapes. I mentioned this to a friend and she said her pup doesthe same thing. Does anyone know what the round kibble is?

    Great Dog Food

    My puppy loves this food. My senior cocker spaniel also eats the wilderness line of this brand. I want to defend this brand against some of the recurring bad reviews on the food from this brand containing chicken - the packaging reads no chicken *by-product meals*, not no chicken.

    This food is dangerous

    I have heard that Blue Buffalo has caused a lot of sickness in dogs. However this was a long time ago and from what I read Blue hasn’t had a recall since 2017, so as we were searching for puppy food the food we typically get was out of stock and we tried to find something that wasn’t too low grade and yet not too expensive. I was tapering my pups food and little by little with each feeding I could see she was started to get bloated. Yesterday she started throwing up. I didn’t think too much about it until later that night she started vomiting blood! She has eaten other foods and hasn’t had this reaction before. I’m sad as I wanted to try this food but have been fairly weary but I’m disappointed that once we did try it all the horror stories were true! I’m just glad I didn’t feed her too much of it or she would probably be dead.

    My pup LOVES this

    My pup LOVES this stuff. Typically I feel him only salmon dry dog food but I was turned onto this once I realized he goes beserk for it. I don’t ever notice a difference in behavior, energy, or coat but I can just tell he loves it the way he reacts compared to other foods.

    Puppy with Chicken Allergy

    I bought this because my puppy has a chicken allergy. It says on the bag that there is no chicken, yet in the ingredients it clearly says chicken fat....

    Great food

    I like blue Buffalo and in the local stores they only carry the chicken version for puppies. My puppy poops too many times a day on the chicken version so vet recommend to get lamb. Since this he goes less frequently and is firmer. Highly recommended but this should be carried in the stores!
