My puppy finally likes his food!

When I got my puppy he was being fed a brand called Life Extension (I think) and they sent me home with some. He would pick at his food all day and would rarely finish the bowl. Not to mention this food was almost impossible to find. I switched to Blue Buffalo after about a month or so. I fed him the Small Breed Puppy formula which was Chicken and Oatmeal flavored. He did the exact same thing with that food. I just switched him to the puppy formula that is Lamb and Oatmeal and he started eating right away! My older dog, who has never touched the puppy's food previously, cleaned out the bowl. Guess I'll have to switch him to the adult lamb formula! I always felt good about feeding my pets this food and now it's even better because they love it. I highly recommend it!

I adopted my puppy and she was being fed Purina One Lamb & Rice which was ok but not the greatest. I tried Authority and her bm's were massive so I switched to Blue Buffalo after reading all the reviews. She loved the wilderness flavor but the high amount of protein wasn't the best for her stomach and she still had soft stool. I decided to switch to the Chicken & Brown Rice flavor and wow what a difference. Her bm's are small, firm and regular. Biggest improvement is no more puppy farts clearing the room anymore. For the little extra in price Blue Buffalo is very much worth it. You feed them less so it's really not that much more expensive. I noticed my puppy's coat became much more shiny and soft on Blue Buffalo and the shedding has drastically declined. I highly recommend this food to anyone!!

Blue Food All The Way

I had always been a Science Diet fanatic until one day i was in Pet Smart looking for my usual brand when a man approached me and told me that he was a represenative for Blue dog food. He spent an hour teaching me about what was in the food compared to what I was using. He never said anything bad about Science Diet he just showed me the facts in black and white right on the labels.
Since then I will not buy dog food or treats that are not Blue Brand. My dogs love them and there is such a difference in the way they play, the frequency of elimination, even the smell.
As far as their health goes I got a 12 week old Miniture Schnazure who came down with Parvo, while she was at the vet I took my own dog food and treats for her. /now my vet is a beleiver he has changed his dogs to Blue as well.
Some people might think it is to pricey, well first of all I love my dogs. Second of all I dont like vet bills. And when you break down the cost analyis like we did we found it cost no more than the other big name brands because you feed less and I was able to stop buying all those supplements.
If you have a family pet it is part of your family!
So just stop and think about what you would want to eat!

When we brought our new baby APBT home from the breeder he was the runt of the pack. I did extensive research on what was the best food for growing puppies, and I stumbled upon Blue Buffalo - Puppy kibble. After feeding our little guy Blue Buffalo kibble and Blue Buffalo canned goods, he gained 15lbs In just 3 weeks, he is no longer the runt of the pack. He's extremely energetic, has a beautiful coat, and has healthy bowel movements. There's nothing else a owner could ask for! Trying all types of dog food, Blue Buffalo is the best, I don't regret the hours lost researching millions of different foods because in the end we got the best for our little guy!!! Would highly recommend this brand to anyone with pets, once you try it you're not going to want to try anything else!!!!

Before we purchased Buffalo Blue we did a full check on this product and the ingredients are everthing they claim to be. Our dog loves it and we saw a change in his coat his personality and energy in less than two weeks.
His coat is brighter and glossy. Everyone noticed the difference. He has gained weight and is more energetic then we expected.
We are very pleased with this product and recommend it with two thumbs up and four paws.

This is great dog food and was recommended. My Shiba loves it. I love it because it has variety in it. It has a few different pieces of food (triangle, round bits), not the typical bland looking circular food. Most importantly my dog loves to eat it and it has kept her healthy and growing.

Me and my boyfriend recently got a puppy. She is a beautiful pit mix. When we got her she was being fed pedigree. We had heard so many good things about Blue that we decided to try and switch her over. By the end of the first day, she was chowing down and didn't even want anything to do with the pedigree. I noticed after the first week her coat is shinier and she has even more of her loveable puppy energy. My senior dog only eats cat food because she has bad teeth and its hard for her to chew so we cook up ground meat and rice to supplement what she doesn't get from cat food. My older dog has started eating Blue. We have tried Every kind of dog food and blue is the only one she will eat. We are extremely happy with blue dog food.

Blue Buffalo Has Been Great for My Pup!

I switched to Blue Buffalo Puppy food a little over a month ago. I have a picky pup named Koda. Since that time Koda has put on some much needed weight. Since he didn't like most foods he was very lean. Now his coat glistens in the sun and he is at a good healthy weight.I do put a little warm water in the food like the bag suggests to make it even more appealing but it still is crunchy. I love this dog food. It is certainly worth the money if you want to feed your dog a high quality natural food.

Being new puppy owners, we weren't too familiar with the numerous options we had for dry dog food. We took the recommendation of a Pet Smart employee and went with Blue Buffalo. We couldn't be happier with our decision, nor could our new four-legged little friend!

I have two mixed lab puppies and they both like this (lamb) better than the chicken. It does get expensive but I think it is worth the money.

i purchased a puppy from Cirkle C's Amstaff late last yr. I started with IAMS and now changed over to BLUE Buffalo, Chevy now stays full longer and eats less. I'm very happy with his new food. Just wish that it came in a 50# bag and was just a little less expensive. Overall i'm pleased with the food because it does not have any by-products.

I adopted my rescue puppy about 3 months ago, when she was just about 4 months old. I immediately noticed she was extremely itchy. There were no signs of fleas, I gave her a special oatmeal bath and saw no change. I even had her PetSmart trainer and the groomers on staff take a look, and nobody could see anything that was causing her problems. I decided to switch her food, I have had cats and dogs my whole life and never ventured beyond the grocery store aisles for their food. I transitioned her to the Blue Buffalo puppy food and her itching has gone away at this point. I am very pleased with the results, and have even switched my cats to Blue Buffalo and am noticing a change for the better in their coats.

With all the treats we use to spoil our dog, it's important that we provide him with a healthy dog food. This food contains everything our dog needs to grow up strong.

This dog food is great!!! i have a blue nose pit bull puppy was told she was 8 weeks when i received her with food (unknown brand). her nose was really dry and was just balled up she was not interactive and her poo was really like water. i did some research and found out she was in fact 4 weeks she was not even suppose to be on dog food yet i switched her to blue buffalo puppy formula have gave her replacement puppy formula to make up for the time she missed and shes doing great very interactive now healthy, a lot bigger and her poo is formed. its only been about 3 weeks since i got her and saw a very big difference. i'll definitely continue to use blue buffalo products.
