Solved Vomiting but getting Fat
my 14# cockapoo was vomiting nightly with another brand. When I switched to Life Protection Formula small Breed Senior Dog she stopped vomiting and was more chipper. However, 6 months later and she has gotten so fat. I feed her 1 cup/day. she doesn't get the exercise in the winter as in the summer so maybe I need to reduce the amount to 3/4 cup/day. I'm worried she will start vomiting again from hunger.

Love
Love blue buffalo! My pup has always been a fan of this brand. Everything I get is always great quality. Never makes her sick and seems to have a good flavor. I only used this when she was little, have changed since she’s grown and gained weight. The price is somewhat high compared to other brands but the quality is worth it. And so is your pup!

We Love Senior Small Bites!
I've been feeding our small Schipperke mix senior Senior Small Bites for about two years now. She loves it, and her mobility and gastrointestinal health are maintaining well.

Excellent Dog Food - Solved My Dog's Vomiting Issues
I was using a different semi premium dog food for my 7 year old cockapoo but she was vomiting bile daily. I slowly switched her to blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Senior Small bites and she has not vomited one time. She is happy and healthy and jumps in circles when it's meal time. I only wish it was a bit more affordable.

My girl loves Blue!
I have been my 14 yr old Border Collie Blue life protection her entire life. It was the only food she would eat and tolerate well. She has been eating the senior formula for years. I am thrilled my girl is still happy with Blue and trust Blue. On our 14th year and never ever has there been an issue with the quality of any bag. She is a Blue girl.

My dog loved this product!
The packaging is super cute and the price is alright. My dog seemed to love the ingredients that it had lol! The texture seemed like regular dog food but it was very effective for my dogs gut health.

Holes In Bag
This is the second bag I have bought online recently. It was received timely butthe bag had numerous small holes through out it. Looks like a rodent or two was trying to access the dog food. Target needs to address this issue.
