Aweful delivery!!!

Ordered 2-30lb bags of dog food, when I received them both bag were filthy and a little wet and both had a few holes and rips in them, and last time I ordered it was mailed in a box, These were not!! So disappointed, not sure if I will ever try and order this again 😩 I would give zero stars but I had to put one...

Our Finicky Shepard mix

i thought my dog would never find a food he would like until my wife came home with Blue Buffalo Senior 7+ Lamb and brown rice dry food.. We would actually have to hand feed him before dropping him off at his day care on our way to work. We wish we would have tried Blue Buffalonearly 8 yrs ago.

My dog’s stomach is very sensitive and gets upset easy. I was using Kindfull but noticed his skin started to turn red and he wasn’t staying full after two servings. It would take 3 to 4 servings before he was full. Blue Buffalo has his skin normal, stomach not upset, and he is fuller along with being me active.

Your dog will love you for this

Have a pair of Border Collies and have gone from puppy to adult food. Switched from chicken n rice to lamb n rice and they absolutely love it. Never a drop left behind and the shine on the their coats is amazing. May be a tad more expensive but well worth it when you see the condition your best friends are in.

Love the healthy ingredients

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blue buffalo is a great quality brand and my Shorkie pups just love it. I love the life protection formula. It makes my pups happy and I’m happy they’re eating quality food with healthy ingredients.

Two my dogs lived to be 14 years old eating this d

I have been feeding my dogs Blue Buffalo Lamb & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food for many many years, and I continue to choose it for every dog I have. My first dog, born in 2007, ate this food exclusively until she passed away at 14 years old. She also enjoyed occasional treats like fresh apples and carrots, but this was her main diet, and she thrived on it. One of the things I’ve noticed and really appreciate is the excellent dental health it supports. Even at 14, my first dog had no dental issues: her teeth were white, sharp, and had no buildup. I believe this is a testament to the quality of the food, not just genetics. Over the years, I’ve known many dogs who have done very well on Blue Buffalo, which is why I continue to choose it. My experience, combined with seeing other dogs thrive on it, makes me confident that this food supports overall health and longevity. Even though my first dog eventually passed from cancer, she lived a long, happy life with strong teeth and good overall health. She was a mixed breed and very people oriented, so I firmly believe the quality of this dog food contributed to her wellness throughout her life. Blue Buffalo Lamb & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food is a product I trust and recommend for anyone looking to give their dog a nutritious, high-quality diet that supports long-term health.

My dog can't get enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been trying to purchase for months and now I know why it is hard to keep in stock. I know dogs beg, but I have never had a dog beg for more dry food, he literally sits by the cabinet door and cries until we give him. He loves it. Smells appealing to this human. Perfect size pieces.

Happy doggies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved them. Everything was perfect, they didn't cause any allergies, and they loved the flavor because they devoured them. I'm very happy with my choice.

High quality dog food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a German Shepherd and so feeding her the best quality food is important. We have used blue buffalo for years and she is so healthy because of it. The packaging keeps the food well maintained and the food does smell super strong like some of the other brands of dog food.

A switch that cleared my dogs skin issues right up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dog food. My dog was having some severe skin issues. When I switched her to this food it started to improve and we no longer have any issues. The packaging is nice and there isn’t a strong scent. She loves it and eats every last bit I give her.
