Foster pups love it
By Crazyfostermom on Jan 4, 2021
Even though the shelter I foster for provides food,I always buy the Blue Buffalo puppy food. Puppies have delicate tummies and we have never had any issues with it. No stomach trouble, no eating problems. I always take the largest litters. I just want to keep the siblings together . The largest litter born here was 14 pups and when they went for adoption, their bellies had eaten nothing but BB puppy . My pack eat nothing but BB Wilderness duck flavor. We will continue to be a BB family.when two of my pack had to be put down, I felt I was speaking to a family member and not jut anyone who read my message.

Stinky poop gone
By Poop on Jan 10, 2021
Got a new puppy a couple months ago, had to deal with really really stinky poops from the food she came with, sometimes really runny even weeks after the deworming was done. Switched up to this kibble that has no corn or corn fillers. Solid poops without the room clearing, paint wall peeling farts and poops. Happy puppy and happy puppy parents.

Love this but it is a little expensive
By Paige on Nov 23, 2020
my pup really liked this food when i first started her on it but i think when she hit about 5 1/2 months she wasn’t very interested in it anymore. she would rather have my other dogs food but i don’t think she is old enough to switch yet. overall i really liked it and i think my pup did too!

Bindi Loves This Kibble

My Australian Cattle Puppy loves this puppy food, I've tried a few different brands but she likes this Blue Diamond the best. I currently mix it with Soft Puppy food for a crunchy soft mix.

My dogs love this!
By Breanna on Oct 22, 2020
My dogs loves this food! My one-year-old Husky mix has had this food since she was a puppy, and she is always getting compliments on how healthy she looks and how beautiful her fur is. We recently adopted a new rescue puppy who was underweight and underfed prior to being rescued. Her foster family said they were having trouble getting her to eat. Our new puppy wasn't interested in the food her foster family gave us, but she LOVES Buffalo Blue. She sleeps next to her food bowl and has been eating so much! She already looks healthier and is starting to gain weight!

My puppy likes it
By wylie on Dec 21, 2020
My puppy likes the Blue Buffalo puppy food. I transitioned her to it over about a week using the remainder of the breeder's food. She likes the taste, and she has not had diarrhea.
