I loved them before they changed their formula and added barely. This was one of the only foods my dog could eat due to her allergy but now they changed it and I had to find out the hard way when they changed it because now I have a sick dog. Very upsetting.
brittam3 (verified owner) –
We switched our pup to Blue Buffalo due to it’s rave reviews. The ingredients are also super healthy, so that’s a plus. Our dog loves it, and it’s always a treat when we change flavors.

I have a Great Dane whose coat was looking dull and skin was flaky so I looked into getting him a better food. I started doing a partial fresh diet paired with this dog food and his coat is looking beautiful!

Lucy is very picky. She loves this dog food. She has been on it for 4 months now. Her coat is so soft & shiny,& her weight is perfect. Love it. Just a bit pricey.

I believe our girl is doing very well on blue Buffalo adult For dogs our furbaby 5 yr old mix German Shepard and boxer.
CourtneySeever (verified owner) –
This is the only type I’ve been feeding my one dog and when I got my second one the difference was apparent. Theres less wasted product in this food because my dogs are able to absorb more of the nutrients (poop less). Plus it smells like actual food not the weird chemical smell that some pet foods have.
daffym1 (verified owner) –
My dogs loves these. Great ingredients and also very healthy. I definitely love this brand and it it worth the price. I love the packaging and the ingredients.
ashleya462 (verified owner) –
My corgi loves this food and I believe based on his playfulness and healthy coat that it’s a great thing for him. He seems to really enjoy it and comes right to his food bowl for this food every feeding time.
sarak165 (verified owner) –
We tried this after hearing that it was supposed to be a good brand of dog food. I was so disappointed. Even though we slowly transitioned our puppy over to this food she had horrible digestive issues and ended up at the veterinarian needing an IV from dehydration and medication. She said that this has happened to many dogs with this food. I will never give this to any of our dogs! Lesson learned.
_emstof_ (verified owner) –
When I first adopted my dog, this was the first dog food I bought for him and it worked well, but I’m a student so I naturally bought dollar general dog food for a bit while I was struggling with money. All it did was upset his stomach and eventually he would stop eating it at all because I’m sure it wasn’t that great. With this dog food he always eats every bit and it seems to sit in his stomach pretty well. I don’t think I’ll switch from it for a long time.

We started Nellie on this about 6 months ago … her fur is much softer , she loves eating this food, she is 10 years old and her energy is up plus her weight is down … why didn’t I do this sooner ? am a big Blue Buffalo fan now …

This dog food seemed to be very good with my German shepherd. He seemed to like it pretty good as well.

I have two dogs and they enjoy blue buffalo. The only problem is they spit out the small fruit bits. That is the reason for the three stars. The quality is excellent as both my dogs are really healthy with no issues.

The dogs favorite by far and definitely why I always have this amount per time .Great for a 14 year old aging dog and meets their nutrition needs with the high protein nutrition density in highly durable packaging
Fanci (verified owner) –
No matter how hard I try to dress it up, she spits these out. How do I buy the part she’s eating ??
PurplepeopleEater (verified owner) –
I like Blue Buffalo and I am willing to spend more for better quality food. Unfortunately, I feel like I am not getting my money’s worth with this food. Every single day I am sweeping up those little dark bits that my dogs leave everywhere. They look like rodent poops which is embarrassing if people come over and I’m over-explaining how my dogs carry mouthfuls of food to different spots and then eat the pieces they like. It’s also a huge waste since none of my 4 dogs will eat them. It also bums me out that they’re missing out on the part that makes this food “better” and healthier.
Bons (verified owner) –
I started our puppy on the puppy kibble which she loved and the transition to the adult formulation was very easy and without any difficulties – she loves the flavour and her dish is always licked clean
Mromano (verified owner) –
My dog has been eating this dog food for years and has recently been leaving those life bits all over the house. They do hurt to step on with bare feet! Are there any other types that do not have those in them??
jessical564 (verified owner) –
My dog really enjoys there products, they have a nice variety which is great for all size/type of dog. My dog is 2 years old, I got her when she was shy of being a year old. It has met my expectations with her coat, and healthy life style we have for our dog Coco.
Chimama (verified owner) –
So this is day 2 of switching my girls over to Blue, and they are loving it. I noticed however that my Chi/Terrier mix picked out and left some on the floor upon further examination, I realized that it was the old food ☺️. Thank you Blue for making my girls happy!!

Why has the price per 30-38 lb bag of BLUE Life Protection Formula Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe Food for Adult Dogs gone up $20 more a bag in the last 6 months. Is the price going to return to normal price ever again?

I have grown up with dogs that have all been very picky when it came to their food. Anything from BLUE was pretty much the only thing they would eat. My dogs were noticeably healthy as well!

We have two older dogs and they love the Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice recipe.  Both dogs are very picky about food, so we were excited to find some thing they both enjoyed!
nataliep276 (verified owner) –
I used to buy 2 different type of food for my 2 dogs, one small and one medium size.
But with this one , the size is small so I can feed both of my dogs. And I like when they have chicken and brown rice, which is healthy( I think). My dogs poo are solid not murdy
Price is reasonable and my dogs love it

We switched to this when our dogs had skin allergies. We have used it for years and no more issues!

After feeding my cockapoo Royal Canine Cocker Spaniel food for years (recommended by the vet), I noticed my pup wasn’t eating much. I looked into the ingredients and noticed essential nutrients missing. After searching for food more suitable, I found this one. The first ingredient is real meat, it has no by-products, corn, soy, artificial flavors or preservatives. It has essential omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and the finest ingredients of fruits and vegetables. Along with the regular food, there are exclusive LifeSource bits, which are designed by holistic veterinarians. They are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to support the immune system, life stage requirements and a healthy oxidative balance and Simba just loves it. Here’s a pic of him eating from the bin as he couldn’t wait for me to fill his bowl . Simba’s breed has never had a big appetite and it makes me so happy to see him enjoying his food with the added benefit of knowing all the goodness that’s in it!
Disappointed with change (verified owner) –
I’ve been feeding my dog the BLUE Life Protection Formula Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe for three years and it has always been fine. Don’t know if there was a change in formula, manufacturer, ingredients, etc., but my dog got very sick after eating a new bag we purchased. She vomited and had loose and bloody stool for a week. We stopped feeding her Blue Buffalo and switched to another dog food brand and she has been fine since. Blue Buffalo, whatever you did, it was terrible.
veronicam10 (verified owner) –
My dogs love this food the best. No cheap food for them. This food is way overpriced but good ingredients. Although it isn’t grain free so I don’t understand why it costs more than double.
Spagirl (verified owner) –
I’m extremely happy with the petsupplycanada auto ship. I save myself a ton of time and I get exactly what I want.
Zena (verified owner) –
LOL In reference to Kim N’s review (rating 1) regarding her dog gets a mouth full of the dog food, drops the food on the floor and eats around the life bits, my dog does exactly the same thing. I’m constantly picking them up off my new living room carpet, kitchen floor and in the dog pen. It’s somewhat annoying. Since I had purchased the 15lb. bag that was somewhat pricey, I will have to put up with the life bits until I’m low on dog food and it is time find/purchase another type of dog food my dog does not have to pick through and make a mess.

My 3 pitbulls love this dog food. It has a great crunchy texture and has vital nutrients and antioxidants for your dogs health. It comes in different size bags for convenience.

Nune (verified owner) –
I have literally tried several different types of dog food.
He used to eat it but due to hard times I tried cheaper brands
But then he had allergy issues. Because he’s my old baby..
I put him back on blue buffalo. He still has a slight itch..

Diane (verified owner) –
I have been buying Blue Buffalo dry dog food for a few months. I always buy Adult chicken and Brown Rice recipe. This time around, the food is so powdery, I have to put it through a sieve and I am losing probably 1/3 of the bag. My dog really likes this food but I am not sure if I will continue buying it. Since there is no way to contact the company otherwise, I am hoping someone will contact me to see what can be done.
sonnyangel (verified owner) –
It was okay my dog didn’t really like it, she only eat it little by little, maybe is the ingredients she didn’t like or the taste, the price is okay and the package is good.
Sammy and sheba (verified owner) –
I have two beautiful German shepherds that I moved from Avoderm to this, thinking it would be better for my furbabies. Was I wrong. My dogs have lost weight over the last 6 months, I did the proper feed introduction schedule, my dogs have continually tried to source nutrition from any other source including resorting to animal feces. This has never happened before and I am promptly changing my babies to a heavier protein food immediately. Would NOT recommend for large breeds.
Alicia23 (verified owner) –
Switch from store brand to buffalo and my dogs seem happier and don’t seem to want as much either. Makes me feel like it’s more filling and nutritional

True True (verified owner) –
I shave been giving my dog this since a puppy. She recently became an adult ( roughly 5 or 6 months ago) so we changed over to adult food. She loves the food but leaves the little dark brown pellets on the floor. I feel like it’s wasting money because she doesn’t eat that part. Do you have a version without the mineral pellets? If not maybe you should consider making it sine I read quite a few reviews with the same issue. Hopefully this can be resolved soon because I really don’t want to have to change her food. Thanks in advance.

I recommend this dog food. Some dog foods give your dogs the runs. This does not. It is a little more costly but the ingredients are more healthy for your dog to stay fit. The packaging is easy to use.

The price is fair, it’s easy to find. However my dog had to be taken off of It because the vet said it was making him gain too much weight. He’s a large dog, but he was considered overweight I feed him the same amount just a different brand and he’s already lost weight.

My dog really isn’t that crazy about this product. I bought a big bag and I add fresh veggies to it . She drinks a lot of water after eating this product, Thinking there’s way too much salt in this dog food.
Peaches (verified owner) –
My dog loves this dry form so much that I have actually tried to switch and spoil her even more, if that’s possible, to a wet food but she actually prefers the dry chicken and brown rice recipe. From an orphan in the streets, she has become a beautiful, active, fun loving 4 year old. All her vet check ups are perfect. No skin issues. No digestive issues. No allergies. Thank You Blue Buffalo

My pup absolutely loves this with some salmon oil mixed in with her dinner. She eats this up really quick (but not too fast). She used to eat some other less expensive brand that I can’t even remember and it just wasn’t great for her health or coat. I would highly recommend this food.

I bought this food trying to improve my shepherd mixes coat and weight he has doubled the coat with no more dandruff and his weight he’s put on the healthy muscle and weight he needed. He is doing amazing and no longer has tummy issues. Love this food tried other high end foods with no results but Bear loves this food and is doing amazing can’t thank you all enough. I needed a food that was salmon free for my allergies and you all went above and beyond to check and make sure I would be ok. Thank you for only using USA ingredients and making this food here will always feed blue.

We have struggled for years trying to get our rescue to eat any food for longer than a week. It’s like she gets bored with it. It’s so hard finding things that she likes. We found Blue Buffalo and decided to try it and now it’s the only brand we buy for here! She runs to here food bowl now and gobbles up every single piece!
youbyou (verified owner) –
This review is actually for the NEW recipe that Blue Buffalo just released. It’s the same except instead of chicken is BEEF. And oh my goodness my dogs went crazy over it!! The beef flavor is lightly scented, nothing like the chicken one and the pieces are smaller and easier for them to chew and swallow. Now I obviously didn’t eat it myself, but I can vouch for my two dogs that absolutely loved it!! I got chosen to sample and review the beef recipe through Ripple Street. They also sent me some extremely nice ceramic bowls that say ripple street on one side and blue buffalo on the other. The bowls are super heavy and don’t tip over easily. My dogs were super happy with the gifts! BLUE Life Protection Formula Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe Food for Adult Dogs
kristenl80 (verified owner) –
My dog loves this food. Please keep in mind that it is a very rich dog food. I actually feed my dog a cup of much more basic/less rich dog food and sprinkle a handful of this on top as a treat. I think a full bowl of this would lead to some gastrointestinal issues for my dog (hence removing a star).

I bought this food for my maltese about 3 months ago when I could not find her usual Royal Canin. She likes the food except for the Life bits. Since she is not eating the life bits, she is not getting the vitamins and nutrition she needs so I’m still looking for the best food for her. She also has thrown up her food a few times because of a sensitive stomach.

Best food for my partner in crime. Momo my Boston Terrier is a very picky eater. She is the kind of girl that will take a treat from someone and then drop it and walk away when out of sight (at least she’s polite!). I have tried several dry foods and this is the only one she will eat. This also makes her coat look nice and shiny. I’ve been feeding this for about 4 years now and I think Momo is ok with sticking to it!

I bought this because the normal brand I buy is Blue Wilderness large breed salmon. But the price was just raised to $89.99 for a 22lb bag. Which I think is ridiculous. So now I’m researching other brands.

Love this dog food and all of our dogs do to! It’s helped with their gut health and helped one of our dog’s allergies to other dog foods. Definitely will be the only dog food we will use for our dogs.

Tried Blue Buffalo Chicken with life bits, our dog would not eat the life bits. He would take a mouthful, drop it in the floor and then eat around the life bits. Kinda defeats the purpose of providing the life bits if they get left on the floor.

I would never ever feed my dog no other then Blue chicken and rice adult … he loves it and gets dull from it fast..! I couldn’t ask for anything better for him.

So not really sure how to review dog food but I can say that my dogs seemed to like it. They’re pretty picky eaters so I wasn’t sure how they would react to a change in their diet, but they didn’t show any concerns. They chowed it down so I’m guessing they liked it.

What does it like a good meal? This is one of them one thing that I love about this product guess how natural organic it is it’s not fake. I’d rather have my dog eat what I can literally eat. If I really wanted to texture packaging is amazing that I would recommend is that you should always give your dog a sample before you actually put the whole thing in rather then you not knowing if they don’t like it or if they want it and also so you can get a refund if that’s possible for your nearby store.

My dogs generally like the dry food and the canned turkey homestyle food. However, same response as many, many others. They are not interested in the LifeSource bits…. Perhaps, they’re simply too small? I’m curious to see if there were fewer, larger pieces if they would eat them consistently?
Chrissy29 (verified owner) –
I’ve been feeding this to my dogs and they love it! Never skip a meal!

My dogs love this, but being a Mastiff and a Husky mix, it’s definitely not cheap to feed them on this brand. Still, they’re doing so well on it that I think it’s worth it.

We have two doodles— a 5 year old Great Pyrenees doodle and a 1 year old Newfoundland Bernese mountain dog doodle. They are big dogs weighing in at about 70 lbs and higher. Our older dog has had TPLO surgery and arthritis problems and we are confident this food has helped her joints recover. Our younger dog woofs it down and then waits for the older one to finish in case there are left overs to be had. They seriously love it. It is expensive and we go through a lot in the span of a month, but ultimately our dogs don’t get to choose what they eat and so it’s our duty as dog owners to choose something healthy, sustainable and tasty for them. This is our dog food of choice most likely for forever!
casandraathebeach (verified owner) –
I’ve been feeding my dog this food for over 10 years. Not only does she still love it as much as when she was a puppy but it has kept her healthy and the perfect weight. Now that she’s nearing 11 years old the veterinarian said typically it would be recommended to change her to the senior food but based on how healthy she is, he’d recommend we actually don’t switch at all. We couldn’t be happier with this food.

It is the first time she has just eaten dry dog food without something mixed in it or us coaxing her to eat! Thank you

We’ve have fed our dogs Blue Buffalo for years. When we got our first dog, the rescue was feeding him Purina Proplan, so at first we stuck with that. After cleaning up his puke more than once, we asked our vet and have been with Blue Buffalo ever since (and NOT grain free, vet told us it’s bad for their hearts). Can’t say enough good things, and you can get it everywhere now so the price is great too.
hollyhbd51 (verified owner) –
I love the size of the food. My dog is a big dog but she will not eat anything that is big. I like that this promotes good heart function because my vet told me to stop giving her grain free food because it does something to their hearts. That was the reason I chose this food. It is expensive but my fur baby is totally worth it.

I have had my dog on this food for 4 almost 5 yrs and at first I thought it was a little expensive and im on a fixed income,but after the first week I noticed some changes with his coat and nails, I also noticed his appetite improved and he wasn’t so picky he actually wanted to eat the food, and I had some trouble finding an affordable dog food that he liked and didn’t get bored with. After thinking of the benefits of this food and realizing I only have to buy it every other month instead of every two weeks its definitely worth it ❤️ Blue Life Protection Formula Dry Dog Food Chicken & Brown Rice adult formula

We have a rescue corgi and she loves her Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice alternated with Lamb and Brown Rice. Her coat has become very soft and shiny since we rescued her and started her on Blue. All of our previous rescue pups were fed Blue and they lived to be 16 and 18 years. We truly believe it contributed to their longevity.
