The only brand I trust for kibble!
After learning about the crazy things found in dog kibble, I did a lot of research to find out what was healthiest and cleanest for my dogs, which led me to Blue Buffalo. While it's a bit more pricey than your standard kibble, it's well worth it. Knowing that my dogs are getting good ingredients in their food instead of this like saw dust makes my feel so much better. They also seem like they feel good when they eat it compared to other brands. This is the only kibble I'll buy for my boys, though I'll try different flavors from time to time.

Kibble
All three of my small dogs spit out the round hard kibbles.Do you make a type without the dark round kibble in it?

We understand your concern about your pets reaction to our LifeSource Bits. Our LifeSource Bits will be in all of our dry formulas. These bits are a different size and shape than our regular kibble, and smaller pets with sensitive mouths sometimes have trouble with this. It's a common behavior called 'sorting.' Rest assured, the kibble is 100% nutritionally complete, and the bits add antioxidants. A simple solution many pet parents use is adding a splash of warm water to soften the bits and improve their aroma and texture. We hope this helps! Thanks for reaching out!

Great-tasting, high-quality food that keeps my dog
My dog absolutely loves this food! The small bites are perfect for her size and easy for her to chew. I appreciate the high-quality ingredients like real chicken and brown rice. There’s no unpleasant odor from the food, and the resealable packaging keeps it fresh. We’ve noticed fewer digestive issues compared to other brands. I feel confident knowing I’m feeding her something nutritious and balanced.

Ok
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.

Dogs love it
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.

Shitzu approved!
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!

Dogs love it!
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.

Quality dog food
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.

Pricey but Great!
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
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 stuff may be
This stuff may be more expensive but our dogs absolutely love it and it does sooooo good on their sensitive stomachs. Their coats shine beautifully when they eat this stuff. This is our go to dog food!
