    So glad we switched!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loved the flavor, and I loved the nutritional facts, all natural non gmo. The packaging was beautifully designed and sealed wonderfully. I worried about stomach upset when I switched from my dogs original food. She had no issues once switched. The little tiny pebble was easy for her to break down and enjoy. I'm definitely glad we tried it and will be a forever food.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying this brand and I gotta say it just might be worth the money. I have 4 dogs from 10 pounds to 100 pounds and they all had great experience with it. No upset stomach or issues with taste. Great ingredients and decent sized bag for the value.

    My dogs favorite food

    We use this food as a kibble that is there all day for my pup after he has his breakfast. He really likes this food and doesn’t cause any discomfort or issues for him. He loves this food and we would truly recommend.

    My dogs love this food!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK first off, I was unable to get a video or photo of my dogs eating it because they scarfed it up so fast! They love this food and I love the fact that it’s got all good ingredients for them. The packaging is great and I know that they’re getting the nutrition that they need.

    Decent Dog Food

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blue Life Protection Food seems to be of good quality for my fur baby. You could tell that he really liked it and enjoyed the chicken and brown rice flavor. I feel like the ingredients are pretty trustworthy and my pup digested it just fine. The packaging could be updated or just freshened up a bit though. I really like getting this brand of dog food and will more than likely repurchase.

    Perfect for my ol’ man.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect food for my pitbull, Zeus. He absolutely loves the chicken and brown rice formula, and I’m happy knowing it’s packed with quality ingredients to support his health. I love that it’s made specifically for senior dogs; balanced, nutritious, and easy on his digestion. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s getting wholesome ingredients like real chicken, brown rice, and antioxidant-rich LifeSource Bits. Highly recommend for any senior dog parent looking for something healthy and trusted!

    Has Natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals

    Been feeding my dog the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula for Seniors, I have noticed only positive effects. His coat has looked shinier and brighter. It’s gentle on his stomach and he seems to enjoy the taste.

    Picky Pip Approved

    My picky eater actually eats! My dog is 13 and we just recently switched to the senior formula over concerns for her kidneys. She has gotten picky as she’s gotten older so prior to this I’ve been switching flavors, not brands, almost every month. I’ve gone through 3 bags of this with no issue!

    Our senior dog loves this stuff! He’s super picky and never eats plain kibble but he surprisingly did with this kind. Seems to digest well - love this healthy option for our senior pup!

    Dobby approves

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo since he was a puppy, and now that he’s has grown, I still trust this brand completely. The chicken and brown rice recipe keeps Dobby healthy, active, and happy. We’ve tried other foods in the past, but this one has always been his favorite. I feel good knowing he’s getting real ingredients and solid nutrition—nothing artificial. Highly recommend for senior dogs who deserve the best!

    Great for Senior Dogs helping with digestion and e

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Eye catching packaging. Chicken is the first ingredient,so mire natural. My little Baloo has a very sensitive stomach and was able to eat this with no problems and he loved the taste. Very good nutrients for Senior Dogs and easy for them to chew.
