Two my dogs lived to be 14 years old eating this d

I have been feeding my dogs Blue Buffalo Lamb & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food for many many years, and I continue to choose it for every dog I have. My first dog, born in 2007, ate this food exclusively until she passed away at 14 years old. She also enjoyed occasional treats like fresh apples and carrots, but this was her main diet, and she thrived on it. One of the things I’ve noticed and really appreciate is the excellent dental health it supports. Even at 14, my first dog had no dental issues: her teeth were white, sharp, and had no buildup. I believe this is a testament to the quality of the food, not just genetics. Over the years, I’ve known many dogs who have done very well on Blue Buffalo, which is why I continue to choose it. My experience, combined with seeing other dogs thrive on it, makes me confident that this food supports overall health and longevity. Even though my first dog eventually passed from cancer, she lived a long, happy life with strong teeth and good overall health. She was a mixed breed and very people oriented, so I firmly believe the quality of this dog food contributed to her wellness throughout her life. Blue Buffalo Lamb & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food is a product I trust and recommend for anyone looking to give their dog a nutritious, high-quality diet that supports long-term health.

My dog can't get enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been trying to purchase for months and now I know why it is hard to keep in stock. I know dogs beg, but I have never had a dog beg for more dry food, he literally sits by the cabinet door and cries until we give him. He loves it. Smells appealing to this human. Perfect size pieces.

Happy doggies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved them. Everything was perfect, they didn't cause any allergies, and they loved the flavor because they devoured them. I'm very happy with my choice.

High quality dog food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a German Shepherd and so feeding her the best quality food is important. We have used blue buffalo for years and she is so healthy because of it. The packaging keeps the food well maintained and the food does smell super strong like some of the other brands of dog food.

A switch that cleared my dogs skin issues right up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dog food. My dog was having some severe skin issues. When I switched her to this food it started to improve and we no longer have any issues. The packaging is nice and there isn’t a strong scent. She loves it and eats every last bit I give her.

Great dog food and highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family loves Blue dog food for our dogs! The dogs eat it right up. I love that there’s ingredients are so natural and it has seemed to help both of our dogs overall health, skin coat, and somewhat add the much needed pounds to them as they are very active! The c packaging is a plus as it is always in a durable bag to keep the food fresh!

Your Dog will Love you for this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My doggy nephew uses this brand already so I was excited to get this deal for him. He really enjoyed this flavor. And there were no strange effects with changing up the meat from chicken to lamb. He is getting older so this is a great brand for him since he is still high energy. I recommend to try this!

Best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loves BLUE life. We have been buying this since he was a puppy. We recently decided to change up the flavors for him and landed on this one. He went crazy over the lamb and brown rice, that it may be his favorite flavor now. The pieces are great for adult dogs. They also make a smaller pieces for the little bread dogs. There is something for every puppy.

My dog has a pretty good time digesting it as his

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the size of the bag and it’s filled nearly to the top with dog food! My dog has a pretty good time digesting it as his potty breaks have remained consistent and stools how they should look. The first ingredient is a protein which is a very good sign! It smells like a traditional dog food so not bad at all!

Great dog food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog lived this food! We liked that it comes in two different shapes, perfect size! I found this to be a great option since my dog sometimes gets tired of the common chicken based foods. Also, it doesn’t upset her stomach. I though i the lamb smell would be steong, but it’s not at all, neither leaves my dog a bad breath. I defenitely recommend it!

MAKE IT RESEALABLE!

Shouldn’t have to buy a separate container to protect the food from pests just because I bought a larger bag. Makes zero sense.

Made with real lamb!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They use REAL lamb! I would rate this higher if my dog would eat it. But for whatever reason my dog decided to be picky and not try this food. My parents dogs on the other hand have been eating this Blue Buffalo lamb dog food for a couple months now and they love it! Personally I think this is very over priced especially for having 2 dogs that would finish this in a day but it might be better for smaller breeds!

Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Food and texture my dog seemed to enjoy. My dog didn’t digest well but could have just been that she did not do well with the change in food brand/ texture.
