My dog’s coat is so shiny and he loves this food
I’ve always heard about Blue Buffalo and tried it with my new puppy. His coat is so shiny and he is just a happy dog. I didn’t realize how much his happiness depended on his diet until I tried this. It’s a little more expensive but it’s definitely worth it to have a happy, healthy dog!

Generally positive, Got my dog through puppyhood, but take note…
I believe this food worked for my goldendoodle puppy. We Bought Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice for my puppy after acquiring her at 8 weeks of age. We switched her off Purina puppy because we wanted to go with a food containing no bi-products. Blue Buffalo fit the bill. Taste-wise, our pup did not discriminate. She gobbled up her BB food and wanted more. She grew up healthy without any problems.Once she hit around 8 months she would have occasional bouts with diarrhea. I’m not sure if it was due to the food or her adjusting immune system but from that point forward she would have these bouts approximately once a month. During these times we had to take her off BB and feed a bland diet of chicken, rice, and pumpkin to get her over the hump until resuming BB. This would always work but the bouts would return occasionally. We switched her to and adult blend – BB Wilderness (Chicken) at just over one year, hoping that grain free would alleviate this issue; however it still happened on and off.Our dog is now about 1 year and 3 months old. We are switching her off BB Wilderness over to the Merrick duck and sweet potato recipe (grain free as well). We never figured out the exact cause of these bouts and don’t know if the food switch will fix things either. The treats we give her were generally high quality consistent with her food and we never give table scraps. One thing we read was retrievers have been known to have food allergies and intolerances, and sometimes have sensitive stomachs. Then again, young dogs’ immune systems are constantly developing just as humans. Dogs can’t tell us what’s bothering them so it’s us to make our best judgment based on how their bodies react to things.My review is generally positive because I can’t necessarily blame this food for my dog’s occasional problems. Every animal’s body is different and these types of problems don’t always reflect on the quality of the food. For the most part she seemed to respond well and liked the taste as well. I think it would be good just to take note if other people experience the same issue.

Our dogs love it and the vet says it’s a good brand.
This is our favorite brand. Our two dogs love it. The vet is pleased with our choice. It’s not inexpensive. But, these animals aren’t just barn dogs or cats. And my parents always said on the farm. Don’t feed your animals something you would want to eat. Well, I’m not planing on eating dog food. But if I had to eat this brand, I would with worrying about the ingredients. That being weirdly said, let’s hope it never comes to that.

Puppy approved
My puppy has been a casual grazer with loose stool since I got her. I have tried several brands and she loves it. Gobbles it right down and her stool has improved immensely.
