great dog food,

"I have only been using this product for my 6 month old lab and 8 year old lab and I have seen a difference overall with them. They have more energy and their coats are shiny and soft and they dont seem to shead as much like when they were on Science Diet...and the best thing is that they love it and it also is less in the yard to clean up as the co. rep told me at petsmart @ the Willowbrook store! I will continue to use this product and have told all my friends who have dogs to buy this... I buy the large breed puppy food and the large breed adult food - the canned food is good to.. I give that as a treat once a week mixed w/the dry!!!!!!!!!"

Works well for our little Bear!,
October 29, 2009
by TwoCatsandaBear
from Minnesota
Pros: dog loves it, ingredients, holistic Cons: cost but it's worth it b/c of how well he feels!
"We had our pup (Golden x Newfoundland) on a different food (not sold at Petsmart) but was very holistic and our cats liked their version..but he kept having digestive problems. From the suggestion of our trainer, we picked up Blue Buffalo Large Breed Puppy, and he loves it! His stool is normal after some minor portion adjustments, and he's getting larger and stronger every day! We'll keep him on this despite the cost, because we can tell how much it benefits him."

"We have two 70lb. labradoodle boys that are 11 months old. they were eating science diet puppy food but they started to pick at it. So we studied all the different kinds of puppy food and decided on Buffalo brand. They just love it! They will be eating Buffalo from now on. The person is right on the poops they go like clock work everyday. they seem to be happier also.I don't know how a labradoodle could get any happier but they seem to be! A WONERFUL BREED OF DOG! "

Blue Buffalo Large Breed Puppy Food,
September 10, 2009
by joinjersey
from Woodbury, NJ
"I recently got a 7 month old Cane Corso. She had horrible digestive issues and the vet recommended a bland diet of chicken and rice before introducing a dog food. the vet also prescribed two different medications to help with the diarrhea. Nothing worked. After 6 weeks and still no change in her stool, I decided to start mixing in dog food. I figured I had nothing to lose because even the bland diet wasn't helping. After extensive research, I decided on Blue Buffalo large breed puppy food. After two days of adding 25% of Blue to the food, her stool began to harden. I was elated. Two weeks in and now on all Blue, I am happy to report that my dog has solid stool, goes two times a day (like clockwork) and loves the food. My friends laugh at me for being so excited about the feces of my dog. I'm sure any pet owner who has been in this situation can understand the sadness and frustration of not being able to resolve this kind of issue and being worried about your pet's digestive problems. Blue Buffalo is fabulous and she even loves the little bits some dogs seem to hate. I am so grateful for the people at BB for making such a great product."

Our puppy can't get enough!,
July 31, 2009
by Beatrice
from Hopedale, MA
"Our 9 week old English Mastiff absolutely adores Blue Buffalo. We knew we wanted a high quality dog food and did quite a bit of research before choosing Blue Buffalo. It did not disappoint! In fact, when we brought our pup home from the breeder and began to wean her off her old dog food, she would sniff out the Blue Buffalo product and leave her old brand in the bowl. Bea's coat is shiny and soft, her stools are great, and she is in amazing condition. I would recommend this dog food to anyone who wants the very best for their growing pup."

I have seen a difference!!!,
July 30, 2009
by Cindi
from Iowa
Pros: the best ingredients! Cons: price
"My new puppy is just 9 weeks, I put her on Fish and Sweet Potato at first because the breeder had her on a generic store brand with milk ( O M G!!!! ) she had no problem switching, then when the first bag was gone I decided to put her on the Large Breed Puppy, Her attitude is wonderful, she is bright eyed and has started to grow...She is a GSD X Newfoundland mix , I could find nothing on the net, for feeding such a big dog or how to keep the growing bones in check, so I did the blue research and found it to be my best choice for such a big puppy!"

from Syracuse, NY
Pros: very good product, ingredients among the best Cons: expensive
"Fisrt let me start by saying I had a very picky eater (pitbull @ 6 weeks). The breeder had him on Puppy Chow. I got him home and he refused to eat it. After doing a lot of research and checking forums, I choose to go with the Blue Buffalo! Cairo at 9 weeks now only poops twice a day, doesn't smell, and is full of energy. I also see a shine coming through on his coat."

"My 7-month old great dane/pitt mix has eaten this since I switched her off the off the Purina she had eaten from birth. I am constantly amazed and the softness and healthiness of her coat. She LOVES the food and I swear to you she poops twice a day and that is it. And for her size, not that much at all. She's in great health. I really recommend this brand."

"I switched my Aussie to Blue large breed puppy about for months ago and I would recommend it to anyone. Her coat is softer and shinier then any other Aussie I have seen and it just keeps getting better the longer she eats it. Some say the food is to rich and their dogs wont eat it but I have found adding a little water and making a gravy makes this food irresistible to my dog who can sometime be a picky eater. I love the fact that this company pays a lot of attention to joint health and uses all natural ingredients. The vet told me that my dog is considered fair skinned and would likely have some problems with skin sensitivity. However I am confident that feeding her (BLUE) will keep this from happening!! All these other dog food companies better step up their game if they want to compete!!"

MARLEY AT 10 WEEKS
"I am very content with Blue Buff. My fiance and I noticed that our 9 week old boxer,Marley, coat was not getting the shine that we were looking for, he didn't like his food so he was a bit slim, and he had bad dandruff because of his food. We changed his food and altered his feeding periods. Now at 11 weeks old his coat is always shiny he has lots of energy, his bowel is solid, his strength and muscle development are out of this world. He is a beautiful beast at 23 lbs and 16 in. tall. THANK YOU MARLEY"

Amazing. Worth every penny,
June 1, 2007
by lifelongfriends
from Saint Louis, Mo
"I have a border collie and a blue nose pitt. Their skin and coats are really important to me and this food makes a huge difference. I've been giving them science diet since they were pups but after speaking to someone about this food i decided to try it out. Ever since I have switched to this food, the collie shedds a whole lot less and my blue is actually an amazing beautiful shiny blue! There is less stool to pick up and they are both looking very healthy. My blue's neck has actually outgrown her collar from being on this food for one month!"

Amaizing,
April 3, 2007
by MastiffMom
from Glen Ellyn, IL
"My 7 month old 110lb English Mastiff was started on Pro Plan large breed puppy, I wasn't happy with the results....dull itchy coat, runny eyes, mild hair loss. Turns out he had mild allergies. I switched his food several times with the same results. I decided to find a more natural dog food in hopes that it would make a difference. He's been on Blue (large breed puppy) for three weeks now and what an amaizing difference already! He loves the taste and best of all.....no more itching, runny eyes, and hair loss. His coats starting to shine and he's gaining more muscle tone. His stools are also much better and less frequent. I give him the caned once a week as a treat and he goes nuts over it. You can actually see the chunks of veggies in it. Great food!"

Very Impressed,
March 12, 2007
by ABMom
from IL
"I have tried many brands of dog food, and several Holistic types, and have never been fully satisfied with the results.
After only 2 weeks on Blue Buffalo food my girl has stopped itching entirely, her stools are small and firm, and her muscle tone and strength are off the charts! I finally found something that seems to be doing everything I want a dog food to do!
My new pup seems too be doing very well on it also!"

I wasn't sure at first...,
February 10, 2007
by anonymos
from Little Rock, Arkansas
"I have 2 puppies that have really bad skin problems. After researching dog foods, and reading labels. I found that Blue Buffalo had more of what my puppies needed nutritionallly than any of the other leading brands. I also saw the price of the food, and it was sticker shock. I wasn't sure if my puppies would like it, and the store was out of small bags. I decided to give it a try anyway. I am so glad that I did. My puppies LOVE it. My older dog has now switched as well. Even though they have been eating Blue Buffalo for 3 weeks, they are doing better."

My Saint loves Blue Buffalo,
September 30, 2006
by ZoeWaltz
from Smithsburg, MD
"When I first got my young saint bernard, I started him on another highly recommended puppy food. After a few weeks he had lost almost all of his fur and was ver itchy. We tried everything, but to no avail. Eventually we found out that he had food allergies. We switched to the Blue Buffalo and we could tell the difference in his skin almost immediately! And, Newman, my saint, loves the taste. He also really enjoys their canned food. It's a little more expensive, but definitely worth it."
