I am just curious how this can be called "wilderness" with this line up of primary ingredients-starting with #1. Chicken being the HIGHEST on the dog allergy list-"wilderness" denotes alternative protein
Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Potato Starch, Peas, Flaxseed (source of Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids), Natural Chicken Flavor, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid), Tomato Pomace (source of Lycopene), Alfalfa Meal, Potatoes, Dried Egg,

It's about three times more for half the amount of dog food as the last brand I had my dog on, but I don't think I could ever switch him back. I had to switch him to Blue Buffalo's Wilderness brand for small dogs after I realized his food was causing him to have little allergy bumps on his skin. Since I've switched his food, I haven't had a problem with his skin! It seems to sit well on his stomach too, which is also a huge plus! :)
Pros: high quality, digestible, taste

After reading about the dog food that I have been feeding my yorkie for 4 years I switched to this brand. It is 2x more expensive than the last brand I used but it is worth it. My yorkie loved it.

Fantastic For Picky Eaters

My dogs hate dog food, but they actually come ask me for this. They love it and that says a lot. It even smells like food - not like processed plastic bits and my dogs do not have any stomach and digestion problems with this food. I have no problems giving my girls this food as it is not processed and full of chemicals. I'm grateful to have found it as I literally went thru each isle in PetSmart and purchased each kind that looked healthy and organic. They spit out everything but this. Again, I'm simply grateful this product is on the market.

Since adopting my rescued terrier mix - we have tried just about every kind of food. The cheap ones he loved because of the "junk" in them. He had terrible stomach issues and bad breathe. Wilderness is definitely expensive - but Toby feels better, regular, coat looks shiner and has tons of energy. Worth the price for sure.

Helped Calm the Itchies

My yorkie had some skin conditions and I had tried different foods, cremes and meds to try to help him. Finally tried this food and it has made a huge difference. He does not scratch like he did, the hair is growing back in places it had fallen out and the digestion of this has been much better for him (no gas).

I have a small breed Chihuahua and he started having muscle spasms kinda like seizures. The vet wanted him on seizure medicine but I wasn't sure about giving him medicine. I did some research, yes small breed dogs are misdiagnosed and just need a better food diet. I went to Pet-smart and told them I need food for small breed dogs, low in carbohydrates and high in protein. They immediately recommended Blue Wilderness. Its all natural ingredients and small enough for him to eat. Within 1 week no muscle spasms/seizures. Week 2 still no problems, Week 3 no problems and now 1 month later still no problems. No bad breath, nice thick coat and he absolutely loves the food. I'm not advertising for anyone, I love, love my 2lb Chihuahua and I'm so lost for words to how this food made him so much better. No more vet bills, blood test, and best thing no seizure medicine. Please if you have a small breed dog do research before medicine.

I was getting frustrated because my two miniature dachshunds were just not eating their regular Blue Buffalo small breed food anymore. They just did not seem interested. So I went and picked up this food for them, and when I mix it with a little bit of warm water, they just love it and gobble it up in a few minutes! It also has made them go number 2 less, so that's a nice benefit for me!

I was feeding my peke puppy the Wilderness puppy formula before transitioning him to the adult food. I was very happy with the results I got from the puppy food and wanted those results to continue. However I found that he would eat no more than a handful of the food per day. The Wilderness blend is very high in protein which makes it very filling. My dog's vet always warned me about the high protein in this high quality food, but she was concerned about my peke gaining too much weight. So if you find that your dog is either full very fast or is gaining too much weight, the protein is the culprit. Besides not eating much, my peke had also been dragging his backside on the floor alot which meant he was sensitive to the food. I still consider Blue Buffalo to be excellent in quality and I recommend it to all my friends who own dogs and are willing to lay out the extra money for this food, so rather than switch brands, I am now giving him the Life Protection Formula for toy breeds. The kibble is tiny and easy for him to eat, his appetite has improved and so has his backside dragging. If your dog has no problems with the protein levels, it's agreat product!!!
Pros: high quality, taste, price

My maltese pug is the pickiest eater. I used to feed him another dog food but he would only pick out the the pieces he liked (the green ones), eventually he stopped eating it. So we started making him chicken breasts or steak with veggies because we love our high maintenance doggie but ever since we gave him this he actually eats like a dog. He loves this dog food and always begs for more! Thank goodness I came across this brand!
Pros: high quality, digestible, taste, price

Our 3 year old Norwich terrier has always been a picky eater...well no more! Since we switched to grain free Blue Wilderness he is like a different dog. We have also noticed that his breathing has improved, less congested. We now think he was allergic to the wheat based dry kibble we had been feeding him since he was a puppy. We wish we had switched him over years ago.
Pros: high quality, digestible, taste

I was very skeptical buying this food because it is so expensive and my dog is VERY picky. The young girl worker at petsmart was very knowledgeable about the blue buffalo brand foods. I was very happy to know that if my dog did not like the food I could return the unused portion and get my money back, but to my surprise when I brought the food home my dog ate it up with no hesitation like it was a treat! I am so happy I was finally able to find a dog food that my picky chihuahua will eat.
