That Blue & wilderness is a good kibble
My rottweiler has always preferred Blue. Esspecially the salmon. Its amazing when you open the bag you can smell it.Ive been feeding her blue all her life n she's 9 .been a healthy dog w a shiny coat. I now feed her home made foods .beef chix organs n veggies. The vet said the kibble gives them more vitamins I may not be able to adjust. So still have our salmon blue to throw on top of her meal.

To small kibble
I switched lil Marley to the salmon recipe, just one thing if BB can make the kibble a lil bigger because Marley swallows the lil kibble without chewing , then vomits it up because he's not chewing the lil kibble, I have to put a lil water to soften up the kibble, just a lil bigger kibble will do just fine! Thank you Blue Buffalo!

We’re so happy to hear Marley is enjoying our salmon recipe! We understand your concern about your pet’s reaction to our LifeSourceBits. These bits are a different size and shape than our regular kibble, and smaller pets with sensitive mouths sometimes have trouble with this. We truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestion and have shared your feedback with our team. Thanks for your support!

Kibble-yes; pellets-no
My dog loves the flavors but spits out the hard cylinders. I understand these are special nutrients. They do her no good if they have such hard with edges that she won't eat them. If you change the shape of these nutrition components, let me know. I'm not going to keep buying food nutrients that aren't palatable. I've read other customers concern over this, as well, but it appears those opinions and input don't matter. I don't want to keep picking up rejected pellets, much less buying food that will be rejected. I want my dog to get all her nutrients.

Fantastic
Improved mood of both and suddenly disinterested appetite of my best friend. We’ve been using salmon oil regularly on top of (chicken based) Blue . My buddy lost his kennel mate brother and then his appetite. Salmon and rice to the rescue!

Good for the dog!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still working on transitioning our dog to this food. So far, so good. This dog food seems to be an excellent option for pet parents who want nutrient-rich food for their furry friend. While on the pricier side, the benefits of high quality nutrition make it a worthy investment.

Dogs loved!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs could not get enough of Blue Buffalo’s Life Protection Formula! Even the cats tried to eat it. They love the taste and I love how it’s made. The packaging is bright and informative. I quickly saw all the reasons I needed to feed this to my dogs. They loved it and so do I. I will buy and tell my dog-mom friends. :)

They loved it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried BLUE Life Protection Formula Adult Salmon and Brown Rice Recipe for my dogs, Rugar and Remi, and they loved it! As soon as I put it in their bowls, they couldn’t wait to eat. The salmon and brown rice seem to be really good for them, and it’s been easy on their stomachs. Their coats even look shinier! It’s great to find a dog food they actually enjoy and that’s healthy for them. I definitely recommend it!

Great Opition for Our Furbaby
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wire-haired terrier loved the Blue Life Salmon and Brown rice recipe. She got excited the minute she saw it. I'm happy with what I'm feeding my dog because it's high in protein and she loves it and she is excited about eating it! It also doesn't smell bad. We would definitely recommend this food to our dog-loving friends!

BLUE LPF Salmon and Brown Rice dry dog food
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All 3 of my mini dachshunds loved this food. They thought I was giving them a treat rather than their food. I love that salmon is the first ingredient as well as this formula being a single protein food. It makes it great for dogs with chicken allergies. I also loved that this food isn’t crazy salmon smelling. Some brands have that intense fish smell that then makes your dogs smelly. This food didn’t do that to my dogs. Overall I was happy with this formula and would recommend it to fellow dog owners who may want to try something different. 5/5

A new dog food that my dog loves and I feel good a
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is beautiful, it stands out and definitely catches your eye with the pink and blue. It seals back up nicely so it stays nice and fresh. The first night I gave it to my pup he seemed super excited and ate his entire bowl. He can be quite picky at times so this was the first huge plus. Knowing I am giving him an all natural dog food with salmon as the number one ingredient is the best feeling as a pet owner. I want him around as long as possible and I want him to have the very best. Plus he loves the taste, it is a win, win. I will absolutely be recommending to all of our doggie friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old German shepherd loves this flavor! He is usually picky about certain food flavors but he didn’t hesitate when it came to the salmon and brown rice recipe. I definitely recommend this to others and will be buying this variety from now on
