[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a devoted dog owner, I always strive to provide my dogs with the best nutrition possible, and Blue Life Protection Formula Dry Dog Food for seniors has truly impressed me. The first thing that caught my attention was the ingredient list. The primary ingredient is real chicken, which is essential for maintaining my dog's muscle mass and energy levels. The inclusion of brown rice as a wholesome carbohydrate source is fantastic, providing digestible energy and fiber for healthy digestion. This formula is specifically designed for senior dogs, which means it includes added nutrients to support joint health and overall well-being. The inclusion of glucosamine and chondroitin is a significant plus, especially as my dog ages and may experience joint discomfort. My dog is quite picky when it comes to food, but he absolutely loves this formula! The chicken flavor is appealing, and he eagerly finishes his meals, which gives me peace of mind knowing he’s enjoying his food while getting the nutrition he needs. While this dog food is slightly higher in price compared to some other brands, the quality of ingredients and the health benefits it offers make it worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our oldest dog Toby can be stubborn when it comes to dry food. I decided to give Blue Life a try. The price is reasonable as well. The chicken and brown rice flavor he ate it up. I did mix it with some wet dog food as well as tried it by itself. He finished each bowl. The packaging kept the food nice and fresh as well. I definitely would reccomend this senior dog food especially for the beagles out there.

I kept feeding Hills to my 14 year old Schnauzer but I decided to add this dry food because Hills dry food is expensive but she gets diarrhea each time whenever I add some this Blue Buffalo so I decided stick with Hills. Not for my dog.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Influenster and Blue Buffalo in exchange for my honest review. I was excited to receive this sample for my old little lady Dixie as it is always hard to find a food she enjoys that agrees with her stomach. She loved the food and ate it all, which doesn't happen with most food we have tried. However, it did not agree with her at all, and she ended up throwing it up 2 different times. I was really hoping since it had such good ingredients and Blue Buffalo is known for its quality that it would work for her, however even though she loved the taste, it did not agree with her sensitive stomach.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at https://bluebuffalo.com/about/contact/. We're committed to resolving this and ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ***Incentivized review*** I recently tried the BLUE Life Protection Formula Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe for my 11-year-old Chinese Crested. She’s usually picky and prefers freshly cooked meals, but she ate this when I first opened the bag. The kibble smells fresh. While it’s not her favorite compared to home-cooked food, it’s a good option for senior dogs needing balanced nutrition.
great choice for aging dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 30 days of feeding my senior dog the Blue Life Protection Formula, I’ve noticed real improvements in his energy and digestion. He took to the food right away, which was a relief since he can be picky. His stools are more regular, and his coat looks shinier. I like that the ingredients are clearly listed and feel confident knowing it’s made for senior dogs. The resealable packaging is convenient and keeps the food fresh. It’s been a smooth transition, and I’ll likely stick with it moving forward. Great texture ✅ Great nutrients✅

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 12 year old dog has been eating Taste Of The Wild for many years so I wanted to introduce this slowly, mixing it in with his existing food. He seemed to tolerate it will so on day 3 I fed him a full bowl and he loved it. Looking over the ingredients list it's very similar and seems to be high quality. Since this is much easier to find, it's good to know I have a comparable option as a backup if I can't find his regular food
Great Quality for the price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 4 dogs and they really seem to like this food. We fed it as treats to them so it would not upset their stomach. Packaging is standard based on what I was expecting. Ingredients seem to be high quality. Price is high so we will stick with our current food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never bothered picking this up in the store because we’re one income now and so we look for cheaper options at the store for everything ,,, but I’d like to make this dog food our new ‘normal’.The packaging is similar to that of our reg dog food and it is a little more on the 💲sign, but now that we’ve tried it we’re sold on it. Our beautiful Aussie/Labrador mix turns 5 in a couple weeks, this past year we’ve noticed she doesn’t sit down for her meal unless we’ve added wet dog food, gravy, eggs, a deli meet (etc) to it. She’s not interested in it anymore so she just eats when she’s hungry enough to but the food literally sits in her bowl most the day. Not with BLUE Life dog food. She loves it! The texture is softer than her normal dog food which may explain why she’s been able to have more frequent bowel movements lately. My favorite thing is her fur! She has the prettiest, softest coat now. I can’t stop petting her and running my fingers along her back, it’s beautiful and I fully believe her coat looks and feels so much better b/c she eats the new food so well: I’m excited to get a different flavor next time!!
