Blue Buffalo Basics Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Formula Turkey & Potato Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food

My boxer girl broke her declaw and went through a week of meds including antibiotics. At the end of the week, she broke out in massive hives (no respiratory issues). Benedryl reduced hives in about an hour . Hives returned the following day one hour after eating. I switched her to Basic Limited. Hives have not returned plus a red rash on her lower leg cleared up. Two years of spray-on treatment and drugs could not eradicate the rash as it spread from a 1"x1.5" patch above her left wrist to all of her skin from toes and to elbow. Skin is clear for the first time since I rescued her two years ago.

This food was recommended to me, due to the fact my dog had a skin rash of some sort. I only purchased a 4lb bag since my dog is a picky eater too. He literally gobbles this food up! I will be purchasing a bigger bag and have my other dog try it. That way I will not have to purchase two different brands of food.

Trying this because my Golden has allergies. So far he loves it and is tolerating it well. Better price then prescription food which we haven’t had to try yet.

I have been struggling to find a food that my dog will dive into after his favorite food was discontinued. He has allergy issues as well. It's too soon to tell if this food works for him, but at least he's actually eating it when I put it down instead of watching the cats eat it. Chewy's service was awesome as usual.

My dog has a sensitive stomach and this is perfect. Her digestive problems are gone and she is happy. She doesn't favor the taste a lot though. This is why it is four stars instead of five.

This is the best food I’ve found for my Australian Shepherd. He is food sensitive and it’s been very challenging to come up with the right dog food for him. I did a lot of research and was led to this formula and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Adopted 2 little rescues within 4 months. Had trouble transitioning them to the same food then one got terrible diarrhea. Vet suggested limited ingredient and I liked what I had read from others so I tried Bascis. They didn’t seem to care for the turkey but they HATED the little life source pieces and would pick through the bowl and spit them out on the floor. They ate only one of their meals per day, probably because they were very hungry. I want them to enjoy their food so I switched to a limited ingredient brand without the life source bits. They weren’t on Basics long enough to go through a lengthy transition and they now enjoy mealtime. It would be a better idea to have a choice of formulas Adopted 2 little rescues within 4 months.

I have a rescue stray cat who is 11 years old. She was only 15 ounces when we got her and had all they symptoms of a stray kitty and still does, to some extent. She was very thin for the first 9 years although she ate a LOT. I was feeding her Physicians Choice cat food which is not cheap. I switched to Basics/Blue Buffalo for all animals and without chicken. I got an email from someone saying many animals were allergic to chicken, so why not try? Within a month Rosie had started gaining weight and her hair got thick and shiny. She is now running and playing again. It's all about the food. It may be a little more $$$ but with no fillers a bag lasts longer and the difference in the animal I have a rescue stray cat who is 11 years old.

I have a Dalmatian puppy who are notorious for skin issues. She was scratching non-stop and loosing fur; turns out it was a chicken allergy. It is hard to find a good dog food with out chicken or beef (as the vet suggested), but Blue Basics has saved the day. My dog loves it and her skin has completely cleared up. It has two kibble shapes/sizes inside the bag which I think my dog enjoys the diversity. After a couple months she did get a little bored of it (her old food had freeze dried meat), per the suggestion on the bag I added some hot water to make the food like an oatmeal and she fell in love with it again!

Our lab Sophie has been on this food for several years. She has skin and tummy issues and can't have any grain. We tried so many foods! Finally decided that in order to fix her issues we needed to limit the ingredients. This food she really likes and has had no issues on it.
