My Husky loves this stuff. I had someone watch her for a weekend and forgot to bring her food so I picked up a small bag. She loves it. It's great food, but a bit pricey. Only problem is she wont eat anything else now.

Well I've had my 8 month Blue Pit Bull since he was 8 weeks, I started him on Orijen he ate it normally but didn't eat extra or more than the packet says feed him. Then I wanted to switch to something cheaper since he wasn't crazy about it so I bought Merrick which is another 5 star dog food, his teeth started getting yellow then and his farts were horrible lol, he didn't care for that either, he just ate it because he had to like the Orijen brand. Just yesterday I wanted to try the Blue Wilderness Duck, it's around the same price as the Merrick so I tried it. Gave him some when I got home, he smelled it and ate it, then he started sniffin the bowl like he wanted more, so I gave him 2 more cups, tore that up I was like hmmm maybe I'm on to something, he just ate 4 cups in less than 30min, he's only 65 pounds and he never ate that much so fast He only use to eat about 3 cups a day giving him 1cup 3 times with the other brands and here he eats 4 cups in less than 30 minutes, I would say he likes it, wouldn't you lol. WINNER, Blue Wilderness....after 8 months smh.

Our dog is a rescue pet and when we first got him he was very thin and under-weight. The food the shelter was feeding him went straight through him. We believe in all natural food for our children, so why would we want anything less for our newest addition? After one week on Blue Buffalo Wilderness our puppy had gained 5 lbs, had more energy and overall seemed healthier. He no longer had runny stools, he seemed to be satisfied, instead of constantly looking in the food dish to see if there was more.
I would recommend Blue Buffalo to anyone. This product truly helped save my dogs life! Thank you Blue Buffalo, for making such a great product for our pets!

Tried other grain free dog foods as they were cheaper but my weimaraner wouldn't eat them w/o me adding chicken broth. She gobbles this down like she's eating a real duck. She has a shiny coat and muscle definition like a body builder. I believe the high protein content of this food, the highest on the market, will lead to the longest possible life span for my dog. Evidenced based medicine proves a low carb high protein diet is best for humans why should it be different for my Weim.

Both of my dogs had some skin issues, but no more since feeding Blue Buffalos Wilderness brand. Also Cosmo is pretty finicky but he always chows done on the Duck and Salmon flavors. Great food!

I started using Blue Buffalo four years ago because I liked the ingredients. At the time, I had a senior German Shepherd dog and a two year old GSD. Both loved the food--my picky youngster couldn't resist the Barbecue soft food, either. Now I have a GSD two year old and my "youngster" is six. The two year old has the most sensitive skin I've ever encountered in a dog. I switched to the duck flavor because the vet suggested he might have a chicken allergy. He also needs a gluten free diet. This food keeps his skin clear, and both have gorgeous coats.

My Catahoula has an extremely sensitive stomach and is allergic to grains. We'd tried all the different Nutro grain-free products and while they worked, she would still get a really upset stomach a few times a month. We switched to this and her stomach has been great ever since! She loves this food too, it's the only food where she's licking the bowl after she eats to get more. It's really pricey, but totally worth it to have a healthy dog. I only gave it 4 starts because my dog hates the "life pellets" or whatever those black things are in the food and eats around them. But other than that she loves this food!

We adopted a german/chow mix and after a few years he developed some skin issues and lost most of his hair. I switched him to Blue and he is looking so much better!

My dog is not into food, my vet said it's a part of his breed, but it is very difficult to find a food he wants to eat. So far so good with this choice. He has been eating it for about a year and usually eats his food throughout the day! I am happy because its more healthy for him too.

I love this product! My border collie/lab mix is an ultra picky eater and getting him to eat is hard to do, but not since I bought the Blue Buffalo food; now he can't wait for meal time! Plus, his coat looks perfect and he has so much more energy than when he was eating lower quality stuff!

Dog loves it

We tried a multitude of dry foods that my dog just kept turning up her nose to. After just a couple of small bags of each brand, she would quit eating or just walk away. Some brands she didn't even eat the whole bag. We finally tried the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck. After a few small bags with no issues, we decided to buy the middle size bag. She never walks away from her bowl until its all gone. She absolutely loves it. Now we can feel comfortable about buying the large bag and not worry about wasting food. And its good for her. Thanks Blue Buffalo.

Our 1 year old beagle Sophie has been using this since we adopted her in May. Her coat is healthy with a super soft and a great shine to it. When we adopted her we did some research on the dog food and was very surprised on what some companies are trying to pass as dog food. We will never feed our dog anything else but Blue Wilderness. Its a lil pricey but well worth the cost. Best of all she is happy with her food too!

My Golden is THE most picky eater. I have tried over 15 different brands and flavors and finally this is the one! He actually eats the second I place his bowl down. He NEVER did this before.

My 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever was losing hair on his back due to food allergies. I tried many different products and finally decided on Blue Buffalo. Not only did his hair grow back, his coat is GORGEOUS. He smells great and he no longer has "doggy" breath. I never knew what quality dog food could do! He was also very picky with what he'd eat. He'd pick at his food a little bit and then walk away from it. He barely ate even once a day. As soon as I gave him this product, he scarfed it down. Now he just begs for more! It is a little pricey (especially for a college student!) but it's totally worth it.

My labradoodle, Maggie, is my baby and she costs as much as one, too! Although she is cute and lovey, she's got an extremely sensitive system. One flea bite and her system goes haywire; the same thing goes for food allergies.
She's been eating the Wilderness Formula Duck Dog Food for about 6 months now and I've been impressed with how much the food has helped her. Her ear infections have gone away and she hasn't broken out into a rash for quite some time.
Pros: high quality, digestible, taste
Cons: price

I have a 4 year old Chocolate Beagle named Sampson who is extremely finicky for such a breed. He really enjoys this recipe. I don't mind paying the higher price for a nutritious, high quality food that he will actually eat. I am putting my cats on the Wilderness formula as well!

My 7 year old lab/rott mix had terrible skin problems. Itching, flaking, chewing raw spots and shedding what looked like entire Chihuahuas at a time. I had tried every high end food the vet recommended including prescription diets, they helped... but nothing made the problem go away. Then I tried Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck. Her skin healed, the shedding stopped and my mangy looking girls is now glowing and gorgeous.
When I brought home a new chocolate lab puppy I put him on it as well... he is a stunner. I have never owned a dog with such a soft shiny coat. I have adopted a third (another lab pup) and have him eating it as well, his coat has transformed just in the month I have had him.
The dogs love the food, no one ever picks at it or spits bits out.
It is a bit expensive, and if you are feeding multiple large dogs you might want to keep that in mind. Personally, its worth the $50-$55 dollars a week I am spending to see them so healthy and happy.
Pros: high quality, digestible, taste
Cons: price
