Tasty
I’ve been trying Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice dog food, and overall I think it’s a pretty good option for dogs. It has real chicken as the first ingredient, and I like that it uses brown rice and other ingredients such as vegetables and added vitamins and minerals. Pros: Real chicken is the first ingredient. Contains brown rice, which provides carbohydrates and fiber. No corn, wheat, or soy. No chicken or poultry by-product meals. No artificial flavors or preservatives. Provides a good source of protein for everyday feeding. My dog seems to enjoy the taste and has no problem eating it. Cons: It can be more expensive than some other dog foods. Chicken may not be a good choice for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities. Some dogs may have digestive issues when switching to it too quickly. The ingredient list is fairly long compared with some limited-ingredient foods. Overall: I would give Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice 4 out of 5 stars. It has some good ingredients and is a solid everyday food for many dogs. The biggest downsides are the price and the fact that it may not be suitable for dogs with certain food sensitivities. As with any dog food, what works best depends on the individual dog.

We understand that changing your pet's diet, especially for a new puppy, can be a sensitive process. To ensure a smooth transition and minimize any potential tummy troubles, we recommend introducing the new food gradually over a period of about three weeks. This allows your puppy's digestive system to adjust comfortably. New puppies already experience a lot of stress with a new home, new smells, and new people, so a slow and gentle introduction to their new food can make a big difference in their overall well-being

I wish they were more stars than five because they would get it. I have a little finicky puppy And He only will eat Every other kibble that I've tried Unless unless he's starving And I didn't even get the food poured in his bowl after getting Blue Buffalo He smelled it before I got it in the bowl and he was just jumping up and down I wish I could have caught him on my phone But once I put it his bowl down he didn't even look up It was amazing how much he loved it Awesome awesome product.

Best is Blue!
Great products for your furbaby! Bully Max was our favorite but the price is a bit to steep for us. We go thru 250 lbs of food a month. We live on 4 acres so we have 180 lb great Pyrenees, 2 80 lb german sheps, 2 shows, a a European doberman. All of them are fixed and our vet told us about Blue. They all love it & so do we! If yall haven't tried it? Your furbaby will thank you. Beautiful shiny coats, cute down on the shedding, and (not to be gross) their poopies are less frequent & dont smell as bad. Try it cause you won't be disappointed.

Trying this food for the first time and it has my 5 month old puppy pooping waaay more than usual. Some days, he won’t even eat it. He checked out great at the vet. I will be going back to his other brand.

Add some fiber!
Myself along with my fellow puppy owner friends are dealing with the same issue. Loose, stinky stool from Blue Buffalo puppy food. While we can't do anything about the smell (we've concluded from fish ingredients), we've addressed the loose stool. Each feeding we add a quarter teaspoon of organic pumpkin🎃. *Maybe Blue Buffalo could just add it to the list of ingredients??* This is a regularly reviewed concern with customers.

Beware. Check expiration date before giving your dog
THIRD TIME IVE GOTTEN EXPIRED DOG FOOD FROM TARGET. This last time was a “replacement” because the food expired 12/2024 -it’s September 2025. They sent me a replacement bag and this expired 12/2024 as well! Terrible.
