Wouldnt Buy Any Other Kind
Our little Prince after trying this dry food several years ago will not eat any other kind of dry food. We always make sure we have plenty on hand. We have experienced running out and my daughter picked up a different kind. The way our dog walked away from his bowl if he could speak we were bad fur parents lol.

Good food
My dog is almost 2 yrs old. I started him on the puppy blend and just changed to the adult blend. He has never had any stomach issues with it and likes the switch.

Great Dog Food
Wish there was a way to reclose the bag. I feel as though the bag not being in a closed container leaves it stale. My dog loves the taste. The ingredients are very good for my dog. We had to switch to this formula and he has had no health issues.

Vet Says No to Chicken for Dogs
My 3 yr old BorderCollie and 9 yr old chihuahua both developed an allergy to the chicken blend. No problems since the Vet suggested I feed only the beef and the salmon blends.

Senior to puppy!
My 12 year old dog wouldn’t eat anything- we tried raw, different proteins and wet food; whatever it took to get him to eat! He was eating some things but not nearly enough for his size and he lived with constant diarrhea. Fast forward to eating blue for a month and he’s life a puppy again! We have a puppy now and my old man is playing with him and getting into mischievous with him like trying to rip apart toys and sneaking human food! I got my dog back thanks to blue and I think we will have many years to come which 3 months ago I thought I wouldn’t have been able to say! Thank you blue!
