Ehh

Nice dog food I guess, ill be honest I'm probably going to switch soon. My vet isn't happy with this food anymore. She was hoping by having him go to the salmon

Nice dog food I guess, ill be honest I'm probably going to switch soon. My vet isn't happy with this food anymore. She was hoping by having him go to the salmon and brown rice his pancreas levels would decrease but they're still in the 300s and shes blaming this food. Other than that, the dog its for hates it lol. The smell is very strong. But my other dogs love it. I like the smaller size of the kibbles.

If she does eat some she breaks out in a rash.

New puppy doesn’t like the flavor first, but she will pick at it throughout the day when she’s desperate. I switched to Blue Buffalo from a cheap grocery store brand

New puppy doesn’t like the flavor first, but she will pick at it throughout the day when she’s desperate. I switched to Blue Buffalo from a cheap grocery store brand and originally things seemed to be going well but now she won’t eat anything besides the chicken dry. And she’s broken out in hot spots and has a weird rash on her bum area. She’s allergic to something that’s in this brand. Surprisingly she was fine with the super processed by product brand she was eating at the shelter so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve experimented with different flavors trying to find the culprit and just when I think her rashes are clearing up I’ll add back in the Blue Buffalo and boom she breaks out and starts itching to the point of bleeding. Not sure what’s to do it has to be this brand of food. I even signed up for autoship for the other flavors and I might have to cancel. So far this brand has been a miss.

It appears FedEx no longer delivers to my house, instead leaving it at the mailbox, some 400 ft away. Recent price increases are now no longer competitive with nearby brick and mortars, even with the $15 coupon. I don’t plan to keep using this service.

My labradoodles love it!

They actually seem to enjoy eating it. Mentioned to me by my lovely neighbor. She said her pup has lived a long, healthy life. Looking forward to continuing this

Ground up pieces

Very sad. Over half of this bag is ground up kibble like a powder. Dogs lick the powder limited chewing required. Not sure if common with this brand. Will switch

Changed to BB Salmon & Brown rice.

Since being on the BB Salmon, his coat has developed more of a shine, and much much less shedding. Very happy with the results, I also had to change his BB treat

Since being on the BB Salmon, his coat has developed more of a shine, and much much less shedding. Very happy with the results, I also had to change his BB treat treats as well, I switched to the steak grillers Tango absolutely loves them. Tango and I are very satisfied with the Blue Buffalo brand, I like thier story as well. Thank you to the Chewy staff at the warehouse for taking good care of Tango! :) there hard work is greatly apreciated.

Different recipe than chicken and lamb

I’ve been feeding my dog this brand for years, so the variety in flavor is nice or at least I think my dog appreciates it. I try not to deviate from kibble because

I’ve been feeding my dog this brand for years, so the variety in flavor is nice or at least I think my dog appreciates it. I try not to deviate from kibble because she has a sensitive stomach, so keeping the brand consistent and changing out the recipe is my go-to method.

Dog refused to eat it.

Delta really likes Blur Buffalo, she has been on it since she was old enough to eat. This time I decided to change her diet and purchased a 30lb bag but of Salmon

Delta really likes Blur Buffalo, she has been on it since she was old enough to eat. This time I decided to change her diet and purchased a 30lb bag but of Salmon and brown rice. She refused to eat it. We held out for 2 days then decided to buy her regular chicken and rice formula... I split the other bag into gallon size baggies and donated it to a local pet food bank. Lots of other dogs were happy, I'm sure.
