    Don't look for big bags here!

    Trying to order this straight from the producer, and the biggest bag I can only get is 15 lbs.?!?! That doesn't make sense when I can get a 40 lb. bag from a retailer. The salmon flavor is the only one my dog will eat, and I can't get the big bag.

    The value in this dog food is unmatched

    This product was the biggest game changer for my dog’s eating habits. He was very inconsistent in meals until we introduced him to this food. With the salmon and brown rice recipe, this food not only helps my dog’s coat but is great for his digestion.

    Blue helped my dog with his allergies.

    My dog would get severe ear infections, due to allergies from his food. We tried many different brands and nothing would change. Then a friend suggested Blue, and once we switched, his ear infections stopped. I will never buy any other dog food again. The small price difference is worth it for the higher quality, and my dogs health.

    Stomach issues gone

    My dog Blue did so well on Blue. He was having stomach issues and I switched over to this because a friend recommended it. After a few days his stomach issues stopped and he is eating better and has more energy now.

    Great food!

    Salmon is a great ingredient to help dogs with sensitive skin. I have large dogs with thick coats so this helps them keep their skin healthy. It doesn’t smell bad, as most dog foods can.

    My dog loves this food

    Salmon is my preferred protein choice for my dog who has stomach issues. The food works well with my dogs digestion. Its a little pricey but I think its worth it for my dog. My dog gets very excited to eat this food.

    Got my dog sick for 1 week

    I gave this food to my dog for about 2 -3 months but then I had a new bag, I gave him like two bowls of his food and he had bad bad diarrhea for 3 days, took him to the emergency vet and with medication he got better. I slowly introduced this kibble back because he was on a bland diet. As soon as he ate the kibble again even just a little bit, he got sick again. The vet suggested the kibble must’ve been cross contaminated with something that my dog didn’t tolerate. I think this just speaks bad about the regulations that this company has. I wish I can test the food to see what is in it.

    Caused Allergies

    Loved it at first for my Frenchie since she has a poultry allergy. However, I started to notice she was getting itchy again and after reading the ingredient list I was sad to find this product has dried egg in it so it’s not 100% poultry free as advertised.
