    Great food!

    Salmon is a great ingredient to help dogs with sensitive skin. I have large dogs with thick coats so this helps them keep their skin healthy. It doesn’t smell bad, as most dog foods can.

    My dog loves this food

    Salmon is my preferred protein choice for my dog who has stomach issues. The food works well with my dogs digestion. Its a little pricey but I think its worth it for my dog. My dog gets very excited to eat this food.

    Got my dog sick for 1 week

    I gave this food to my dog for about 2 -3 months but then I had a new bag, I gave him like two bowls of his food and he had bad bad diarrhea for 3 days, took him to the emergency vet and with medication he got better. I slowly introduced this kibble back because he was on a bland diet. As soon as he ate the kibble again even just a little bit, he got sick again. The vet suggested the kibble must’ve been cross contaminated with something that my dog didn’t tolerate. I think this just speaks bad about the regulations that this company has. I wish I can test the food to see what is in it.

    Caused Allergies

    Loved it at first for my Frenchie since she has a poultry allergy. However, I started to notice she was getting itchy again and after reading the ingredient list I was sad to find this product has dried egg in it so it’s not 100% poultry free as advertised.

    That Blue & wilderness is a good kibble

    My rottweiler has always preferred Blue. Esspecially the salmon. Its amazing when you open the bag you can smell it.Ive been feeding her blue all her life n she's 9 .been a healthy dog w a shiny coat. I now feed her home made foods .beef chix organs n veggies. The vet said the kibble gives them more vitamins I may not be able to adjust. So still have our salmon blue to throw on top of her meal.

    My dogs love it!

    My Goldens love this food. We selected it because it doesn’t have chicken or wheat in it. My goldens get ear infections so the vet told us to switch to a brand that doesn’t contain chicken or wheat.

    To small kibble

    I switched lil Marley to the salmon recipe, just one thing if BB can make the kibble a lil bigger because Marley swallows the lil kibble without chewing , then vomits it up because he's not chewing the lil kibble, I have to put a lil water to soften up the kibble, just a lil bigger kibble will do just fine! Thank you Blue Buffalo!
    1 reply from Blue Buffalo team - 11 months ago
    We’re so happy to hear Marley is enjoying our salmon recipe! We understand your concern about your pet’s reaction to our LifeSourceBits. These bits are a different size and shape than our regular kibble, and smaller pets with sensitive mouths sometimes have trouble with this. We truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestion and have shared your feedback with our team. Thanks for your support!

    Kibble-yes; pellets-no

    My dog loves the flavors but spits out the hard cylinders. I understand these are special nutrients. They do her no good if they have such hard with edges that she won't eat them. If you change the shape of these nutrition components, let me know. I'm not going to keep buying food nutrients that aren't palatable. I've read other customers concern over this, as well, but it appears those opinions and input don't matter. I don't want to keep picking up rejected pellets, much less buying food that will be rejected. I want my dog to get all her nutrients.
