    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.

    Best for sensitive stomachs

    My doodle has a very sensitive stomach and the Blue Buffalo Lamb has been the only food that works for him! He has no digestive issues with this food and no allergies from it. It’s worth it to spend the money especially if you have a doodle with tummy issues like mine

    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.
