Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice is amazing — gre
I’m really loving Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice! My dog is so happy and energetic since we started feeding it. The food is super tasty and gentle on their stomach I feel good knowing it’s healthy and high-quality. Definitely a top choice for my furry friend!

Not recommended my puppy had a bad reaction
I don’t recommend it I had bought it one time for my puppy who i usually get hebs brand heritage ranch and he didn’t even eat 1 complete bowl of this dog food and next thing i know his check is swollen and he’s scratching his mouth and breaking out on his mouth and then the back of his neck also became inflamed and his stomach was just gurgling a lot so now I’m stuck trying to help him from home because I don’t have the money up front to take him to a vet the ingredients on the bag is ridiculous compared to heritage ranch I wouldn’t spend that much money on blue buffalo ever in fact I took it back to the store and got my money back. It says online that veterinarians have mixed feelings about it and that it is believed to cause illness in dogs relating to there kidneys but it hasn’t been scientifically proven yet.

Once you start this. Your dog knows.
I started my puppy out on this and moved up to the pink bag. I recommend this dog food to anyone.

Very pleased with Blue Baby Puppy food.
Our Pug, Bubba, has thrived on this for a year. He was 3 months old when we got him—no idea what he ate previously. Bubba is the sixth Pug who has lived with and own us. He is the first who is not overweight and I credit Baby Blue Puppy food for this. He is transitioning to BB Adult Life formula. We expect the same high quality life for him to continue unchanged.

Buy Puppy Blue
Easy to Serve three times a day. The puppy eats so fast that it worries me.

I wish they were more stars than five because they would get it. I have a little finicky puppy And He only will eat Every other kibble that I've tried Unless unless he's starving And I didn't even get the food poured in his bowl after getting Blue Buffalo He smelled it before I got it in the bowl and he was just jumping up and down I wish I could have caught him on my phone But once I put it his bowl down he didn't even look up It was amazing how much he loved it Awesome awesome product.

Best is Blue!
Great products for your furbaby! Bully Max was our favorite but the price is a bit to steep for us. We go thru 250 lbs of food a month. We live on 4 acres so we have 180 lb great Pyrenees, 2 80 lb german sheps, 2 shows, a a European doberman. All of them are fixed and our vet told us about Blue. They all love it & so do we! If yall haven't tried it? Your furbaby will thank you. Beautiful shiny coats, cute down on the shedding, and (not to be gross) their poopies are less frequent & dont smell as bad. Try it cause you won't be disappointed.

Don’t recommend
Trying this food for the first time and it has my 5 month old puppy pooping waaay more than usual. Some days, he won’t even eat it. He checked out great at the vet. I will be going back to his other brand.

Puppy approved
I have a new puppy and he seems like to enjoy this Blue Buffalo healthy growth formula for puppies. It’s a medium size bag for a reasonable price. It doesn’t cause any digestive issues and seems to agree with him. I feel like Blue Buffalo is one of the safer brands of dog food to buy from

Add some fiber!
Myself along with my fellow puppy owner friends are dealing with the same issue. Loose, stinky stool from Blue Buffalo puppy food. While we can't do anything about the smell (we've concluded from fish ingredients), we've addressed the loose stool. Each feeding we add a quarter teaspoon of organic pumpkin🎃. *Maybe Blue Buffalo could just add it to the list of ingredients??* This is a regularly reviewed concern with customers.

Only Food She Eats
My 2 year old, 35 lb bernedoodle loves this food. It is the perfect size for her to chew without just swallowing it down. Or had never given her stomach issues. Great brand that I trust for my dog.

Smelly poop
This formula makes my puppy's poop smell horrible. I can be 16 ft away and after she 💩 poops it will knock you on your butt. I have read similar reviews online. I purchased the largest bag of 🐕 dog food so now I have to live with the most rank smelling farts and piles of poop. No happy in Indiana

my puppy really enjoyed this
when i first got my puppy this is what she was eating. the ingredients are healthy and good. my puppy really enjoyed this product. the food is small enough for them to digest. it is a bit on the pricier side but so worth it!!
