We used this brand with out first dog and loved it! Never had any issues and our dog was never to picky to eat! Easy to store and would definitely buy again if our current dog wouldnt be on specific food.

9Excellent quality food that keeps my dog healthy, full of energy, and eager for mealtime
I am highly impressed with the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Beef and Brown Rice Recipe. The packaging is fantastic—it features a high-quality, reseable seal that keeps the kibble incredibly fresh and prevents any odors from escaping, which adds a lot of convenience to our daily feeding routine. In terms of performance, my adult dog absolutely loves the taste of the beef and brown rice. Since switching to this brand, I've noticed a great improvement in their energy levels, a much shinier coat, and great overall maintenance of their health. It is definitely a high-quality, trustworthy product that provides excellent nutrition. Highly recommended for any dog owner

Quality food that our dogs actually love.
My dogs and I LOVE Blue Buffalo products. I don’t want to skimp on quality ingredients when it comes to my furry babies’ food. We’ve gotten this dog food for years, including some of the other meat options. We will continue to be a Blue Buffalo family!

Flavor and effects
That product blue buffalo life protection beef with beef flavor and brown rice is formed specifically for adults and uses real beef, as the main ingredient includes lifesource bits a precise mixture of antioxidants vitamins and minerals to support the immune system the formula contains whole grains vegetables and fruit, but does not include its chicken or poultry products its aroma is soft and not overwhelming the bag, a natural and fresh smell is perceived that detonates a quality of its ingredients such as real beef meat the unopened bag has a life, prolonged from 18 months from its manufacture once opened the bag if it is put in the air, accelerates the deterioration process it is recommended to buy quantities that are consumed in a reasonable period the effects that you can notice is that your dog has energy they are more active promotes a bright coat and healthy skin I love this product your dog will love what are you waiting to buy it

I’ve had my dog on this food for several months now, and he seems to enjoy. He knows the daily routine for feeding so every morning he goes straight to his bowl. I’ve noticed no problems with the digestion of it.

Good acceptance
Here is a review that covers palatability, energy, texture, size and consistency: The food has very good palatability, since my dog eats it with enthusiasm from the first day. As for energy, I have noticed that it remains active for longer, without sudden changes. The texture of the croquettes is firm but easy to chew, which facilitates digestion. The size is suitable for adult dogs, neither too big nor too small. In addition, the consistency of the product is uniform in each portion, which conveys good quality. Overall, it is a reliable and well-balanced option. Summary in one line: Good acceptance, sustained energy and croquettes of adequate size and texture.

I feel betrayed
I'm furious, I have been feeding my basset hounds this food for months and my dog is all broke out. I found the ingredients to include chicken meal and chicken fat. This is supposed to be beef and brown rice. Never again.

My dogs like this food
My 2 dogs like this food. It smells better than the last brand that I was feeding them. So far, we've gone through almost two of the 34 lb. bags. I bought it because it was on sale but will continue to buy more. Four stars instead of 5 because I only give a 5-star review to dog food that smells good enough for me to eat.

Miss leading. It should not have any chicken!
The front of the bag says no chicken. The ingredients say chicken. My dog is allergic to chicken. I bought this thinking there was no chicken. Very disappointed.
From Blue Buffalo team
Hi there! Our packages state that we do not use chicken by-product meal or poultry by-product meal in our foods. We follow strict AAFCO guidelines definitions for feed ingredients. The AAFCO definition for meals prohibits the use of by-products. All of our "chicken free" offerings will have that called out on the front of the bag. You can also use the search filters on our website to specify only "chicken free" products. https://www.bluebuffalo.com/product-finder/dog/dry-food/ We hope this helps.

My dog loves the beef
I have aa 5 year old American Bully who's a rescue dog. He is the most picky eater I've ever had, and if he doesn't like it, he just won't eat it. I had challenges finding a food he liked, because he won't eat chicken, but I found this, it's beef, and he just loves it! He likes the life source bits, too. Since he's been on Blue Buffalo, his energy level is high, and his coat is shiny, smooth and beautiful. his stools are good, he never farts or has bad breath. So it seems his body likes it too. I'm happy that i'm not feeding him preservatives or artificial garbage.
