Chewy has fresher food
By Minipoodlemom on Jan 21, 2022
My pup and I love Chewy! I bought his first bag of kibble (same exact brand and type) from my local chain pet store. He sometimes ate all his meal, but inconsistently. I thought he was picky or had tummy trouble. New bag from chewy and he has never been so eager to eat kibble. My conclusion is that this bag has not sit on the shelf as long!

By tripledogs13 on Jan 5, 2022
My little dogs weren't used to it at first but in time they changed their little minds their lives were completely changed they have been on it for about 1 yr now I've had to make some adjustments over time on how much I give them they went from purina one for small breeds and now my big dog is on it now 2 so I give it a thumbs up.

Love Blue Buffalo
By ChrisK on Dec 31, 2021
We have been feeding Blue Buffalo foods for years. We feed the adult formula to our niw 5 year old who started on the puppy formula so it is only natural to start our new puppy on it. He loves it as much as she did as a puppy. Very happy with Blue Buffalo and great Chewy service.

BEST DOG FOOD EVER!
By Love on Nov 29, 2021
My puppy (9 months) has been eating this food since she was 7 months old and I have noticed that she has a lot more energy than shes ever had!!! Besides this other brand, but Blue Buffalo is more affordable so it’s perfect! Coming from a vet, the ingredients in this food are amazing!! Also keep in mind that dogs get bored of food so I recommend changing the flavors up every time you buy a bag of food, along with food toppers and wet food!

She Chows Down EVERY TIME!
By Pebbles on Nov 26, 2021
This formula by blue buffalo is my puppy's favorite food. She loves it when I give it to her and never leaves one kibble unless she is stuffed. Also not does need to eat 5 or 6 times a day with less quality kibble that runs right through her or some knock-off all-life stage brand, which I try to keep her! At first, she was on kibble Victor from the breeder which isn't my preference and she had mud butt so I made the change and her poop is solid and firm now!

Puppy didn’t like it
By Susan on Jan 13, 2022
Got blue buffalo because it didn’t have wheat or corn, but I couldn’t get the puppy to eat it. Maybe it is like getting your kid to eat spinach and all he wants is the junk food

Reviews are good, puppy unimpressed
By Bill on Oct 15, 2021
We bought this after trying one of the other dry puppy foods and found that she didn't like that one. She's a mini labradoodle and now just over 3 months old. She liked this Blue Buffalo food at first, but since has been indifferent and we need to play games to get her to finish her meal. From all that we've read, this is one of the best for her at her age so we hoped she would like it. But now that she's resisting a little, we're thinking about continuing our search for the right puppy food for her. Maybe she was born a fussy eater and there is no "right" one, in which case we'll probably settle with this one based on its reputation as a high quality food product.

Dachshund Puppy food
By Kirby on Nov 3, 2021
My 8 wk old came home from breeder w Purina chow, but I wanted her to have higher quality food. Made the gradual change over to BB puppy chow and she likes it, I’m probably more impressed than her, as the healthy ingredients really impressed me. No additives or fillers. This is higher priced, but I don’t mind. Her stools are firm, which makes it easy to pick up the yard. Overall, I’m impressed

For the price, you get good ingredients (essential ingredients), and a good quality and tasting product (not that I have tried it, lol).
