Healthy, grain-free dog food with quality ingredie
My dog absolutely loves the Blue Buffalo BLUE Basics Grain-Free Lamb and Potato recipe! The ingredients are high quality and easy to digest, which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs. I noticed her coat looks shinier and she has more energy since switching to this food. I appreciate that it’s grain-free and doesn’t have any artificial flavors or fillers. The packaging is also sturdy and reseals well to keep the food fresh.

Good for dogs with food allergies
Decent ingredients for dogs with allergies. My dog has protein allergies so this was effective in stopping reactions. Unfortunately she's picky and decided she didn't like it anymore, so had to move to a new one.

Why do they not offer a 4 lb. bag for small breeds
Why do they not offer a 4 lb. bag for small breeds? My 6 lb. maltese eats 2 tablespoons of dry food a day. A 4 lb. bag lasts 4 months. I have to throw away 2/3 of the 11 lb. bag after 4 months.

Blue Buffalo kibble
We feed our dog a combination of homemade and kibble - the basics lamb and potato for small breed. Food is moderately priced and affordable for a small dog. Does not stink nor give him bad breath. Our dog gets annual bloodwork done and between our home cooked breakfast and this Blue kibble lunch he is in perfect health at 11 years old. Blue is extremely calorie dense so your dog may appear to be hungry sooner but it’s just less volume consumed. As with always, exercise caution when introducing a new food

Best dog food for stomach issues HIGHLY Recommend
I have a small dog that had stomach issues with whatever she ate. We have a strict rule with her that she got no table food due to it making it worse. So when I got my new puppy 2 years ago we switched to Blue Buffalo Basics Skin & Stomach Care, Grain Free Natural Adult Small Breed Dry Dog Food, Lamb & Potato and my older girl's stomach issues completely stopped. I will not go back. We now have 2 new puppies that will get the same food. I cant say enough good things about this! (lol no more messes to clen up :) )

A lifesaver for our Frenchie!
Our frenchie has been experiencing some really bad allergies w/hots spots, swollen eyes and bumps. We didn’t want to medicate. It’s been a miserable year for him. Beef, chicken, turkey and Salmon - our last resort. Then Someone recommended simple lamb mix, researched and I found this brand. What a difference this has made! He eats it dry sometimes, wet others but gobbles it right up. He likes the size, he digests it well. His skin is amazing, bumps are gone and he’s a happy camper. Thank you. Great product! Just one request, LOVE to have more lamb options or treats! 😉

This stuff is fine.
This stuff is fine. Not too smelly, and my dogs seem to like it. The kibble is nice and small, so they don’t struggle to eat it. Plus this stuff is easily sprayed lightly with water to make it slightly softer to chew for my elderly dog

Blue Buffalo is a
Blue Buffalo is a great quality Dog food. Full of nutrients. Our puppy loves it. We have a chihuahua and she is very small. A large bag of blue Buffalo has lasted a long time. Lol she only eats about 1/4 cup at a time. I highly recommend this awesome dog food, you won't regret it. They have so many varieties for all your needs.

Impressed by ingredient list. My dog was not interested in it at all. She eventually warmed up to the food but was not a fan

I love the ingredients,
I love the ingredients, and that is why I purchased this brand. My dog and cat although each receiving their specific type, They did not like the taste as much as they had other brands. They both did not like the dried berries in the food. Overall nutrition was great overall ingredients are great but the flavor was not appetizing to them so I gave them four stars.
