  • Good Quality, But Dogs Prefer Pedigree
Flavor Name: Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 15 Pound (Pack of 1)
We used Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Adult when we first got our dogs, and overall, it’s a good quality product. The ingredients seem healthy, and it provided solid nutrition for our pups. However, we did notice that our dogs preferred Pedigree. ✅ High-Quality Ingredients ✅ Good Nutrition for Dogs ❌ Dogs Preferred Pedigree If your dog loves Blue Buffalo, it's a great choice, but if you’re looking for something more affordable with similar results, Pedigree might be a better option. ... show more

  • Great Quality and Perfect for Weight Management!
Flavor Name: Healthy Weight Chicken & Brown... Size: 15 Pound (Pack of 1)
I've been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula for the past few months, and I'm really impressed with the results! My pup is a little on the heavier side, and we were looking for a high-quality food that would help manage her weight without compromising on nutrition. This Chicken and Brown Rice formula has been perfect. The ingredients are all-natural, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m not feeding her anything artificial. I’ve noticed she has more energy, her coat is shinier, and most importantly, she’s shedding a few pounds in a healthy, gradual way. She seems to love the taste too, which is a big win since she's a bit of a picky eater. I also appreciate that this formula includes essential vitamins and minerals that help with joint health and overall well-being. Plus, the kibble size is just right for her to chew easily. If you’re looking for a nutritious, healthy-weight dog food that doesn’t compromise on quality, I highly recommend Blue Buffalo. It’s worth every penny! Pros: High-quality, natural ingredients Great for weight management Helps improve coat and energy levels No artificial additives Cons: Slightly more expensive than some other brands, but the quality makes it worth it ... show more

  • First bag out of 10 different brands that my 9 year old dog approves of.
Flavor Name: Fish & Brown Rice Size: 15 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve had my 9 year old pound dog for a year now. He has made a terrible mess and leaves food everywhere when he eats. So much so that I wanted to start feeding him outside so the squirrels and birds could clean up after him! This is the first bag of food (I have tried many expensive brands and flavors) that he eats every bite and does not leave a single drop on the floor. Based on this- 5 stars. The sweet dog loves it. Perfect size for my 77 pound dog. ... show more

  • Review Title: “Great Quality Dog Food with Visible Health Benefits for My Dog!”
Flavor Name: Healthy Weight Chicken & Brown... Size: 34 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo dry dog food for 6 years, and the results have been fantastic! Here are some of the key things I’ve noticed: 1. Improved Coat and Skin: My dog’s coat is noticeably shinier and softer since switching to Blue Buffalo. I’ve also noticed fewer issues with itching, which has been a huge relief. 2. High-Quality Ingredients: I appreciate the ingredient list—no fillers or artificial additives, which gives me peace of mind. Blue Buffalo uses real meat as the first ingredient, which is a great source of protein for my dog. 3. Easy Digestion: My dog had some digestive issues with other brands, but with Blue Buffalo, he seems much more comfortable. His digestion has been more consistent, and I haven’t noticed any stomach upsets since switching. 4. Energy Levels: My dog is more active and playful. The balanced nutrition seems to be giving him the energy he needs without the excess weight gain I’ve seen with other brands. 5. Flavors: The variety of flavors is another big plus. [Mention your dog’s favorite flavor, if applicable.] Overall, I highly recommend Blue Buffalo dry dog food to other pet owners who want high-quality ingredients that make a noticeable difference in their pet’s health. It’s a bit pricier than some brands, but I feel the quality and benefits are worth it. ... show more

  • My dog loves it.
Flavor Name: Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
Great dog food. I switched my pup to this because I was tired of going to the store to get food. I like my stuff delivered. He seems to like it more and this is a great quality dog food from what I have read and heard. It's five dollars more a bag but it's worth it being that it is delivered. My dog even ate it dry and he never eats dry food. I always have to mix wet food. ... show more
