Bubba (pug) was 3 months old when he began eating Blue Buffalo “Baby Blue”. He’s enjoyed eating it for 5 months-small size kibble, tasty with a variety of delicious flavors in every bowl. He’s spoiled rotten and expects his “Baby Blue” to be available whenever he needs a little “pick me up”. Will not be buying any other brand of dog food because Blue Buffalo is meeting ALL his nutritional requirements.

We were feeding our puppies pedigree puppy and they were all having horrible diarrhea. I made the decision to switch their food to blue buffalo within a couple of days, the diarrhea was gone. I wish that I could feed all of my dogs blue buffalo. It's an amazing food but too expensive for me to feed this to my large dogs

Was feeding our new 8 month old Aussie another brand of food that was given to her until we adopted her. She would leave most of it in her bowl. Switched to Blue and now she cleans the bowl every time!

My dog had a seizure after eating this food for 3 days. She has never had a seizure prior to this change in her diet. I have since read online about other dogs who have had seizures after eating Blue Buffalo food. I will not be feeding this to her again.

Precious came to us as a stray. The folks who found her had her on another brand. We slowly switch the brand to Blue Buffalo and could see the GROWTH difference within 2 weeks. Very pleased with the quality of the food.

Bougie chocolate lab

Hazzyann - 5 months ago

When we got our chocolate lab they started her on blue puppy. It was a bit more expensive and I was then swayed to change her to a different brand. Once we had her fully transitioned though she stopped eating so enthusiastic and just seemed to not care about her food anymore. So like any good dog parent I started to research and figured out even though the other brand was a few dollars cheaper a bag, the serving size was 2x as much per day. So really I wasn't saving money at all. Plus if she didn't eat, then she would try to steal our food and with little kids that is not a good habit to have. As soon as she saw the blue bag come through the door she went crazy! Transitioning her back I had to sprinkle the blue on top of her current food or she wouldn't eat. We have a bougie blue dog for life now and couldn't be happier. She was a runt and is now up to the weight of her brothers and sisters.
