    My girl loves Blue!

    I have been my 14 yr old Border Collie Blue life protection her entire life. It was the only food she would eat and tolerate well. She has been eating the senior formula for years. I am thrilled my girl is still happy with Blue and trust Blue. On our 14th year and never ever has there been an issue with the quality of any bag. She is a Blue girl.

    Holes In Bag

    This is the second bag I have bought online recently. It was received timely butthe bag had numerous small holes through out it. Looks like a rodent or two was trying to access the dog food. Target needs to address this issue.

    Small Breed Senior

    I have bought this for 8 years now. My 15 year old Chiweenie Rosie, loves it. Just wondering what the difference is between this one and the Wilderness one with meaty chicken pieces in it?

    Perfect smaller kibble!

    I started using this within the last month, and my two old chihuahuas (15 and 18) have less problems eating this after having some teeth pulled. It is small enough that they just about don't have to chew it to swallow it.

    Blue Buffalo Pure Life protection for senior small

    I have been giving this to my dogs for about 6 months. I add fresh cut carrots and green beans. They love it and have the weight they needed to lose.
