Is there a version of your "healthy weight" food for older dogs?

Answer by PicklesMay 17, 2022
My friend buys this in “Senior” formula

this have sodio

Answer by EricJul 25, 2022
What is sodio? Do you mean sodium, like what’s in salt? Good question. You could read the nutrition info for the product to get the answer, except the sodium content is not disclosed. I suspect this product does not have any sodium, or not enough to measure. They should probably list “sodium, 0 mg” on the label then because I’m sure other people wonder about this too.

Is this good for older dogs?

Answer by ChewyJun 07, 2024
This product is intended for adult dogs, all life stages.

What is the little dark brown bits in this food?

Answer by ChewyMay 11, 2018
The little dark brown pieces are the LifeSource Bits which contain the vitamins and minerals for the food.

My dog loves it and will eat it without me having to add a topper to sweaten the deal which is great! We have tried several foods in her young 4yrs of life and I can honestly say this is the first one willingly eaten without me having to add something on top. With this grain free Blue Buffalo healthy weight, she starts to eat it as soon as I give it to her. She seems to be enjoying it. I dont know yet if the amount of kcals are helping or her weight. Time will tell. 5 stars if she loses weight!! She has hip displasia so keeping her fit is super important. The ingredients are better than most kibble brands, less fillers than most. As a devoted pet parent I appreciate that. Having a dog thats allergic to tons of things its nice to see a more limited ingredient list, even if its not technically limited ingredients. Id like to see the price come down a bit. The actual kibble pices are small pieces, smaller than a dime in the shape of triangles and their are even smaller cube shaped pieces that are like probiotic/prebiotic nuggets I think. These tiny nuggets are full of good stuff for your pup as far as I know. Every morsel is gone twice a day in this household.

I have been sick a lot this year and both me and my dog, Kilo have put on some lbs! I started buying this to help get Kilo back in shape. Along with exercise and this Blue Buffalo weight control kibble and less high calorie treats, I am going to get my baby bak in shape and me too!! I’m taking years off his life living with this extra weight and I want him around as long as possible.

We have an auto ship of 15 lb bag of dry dog food. This is the second time we received our bag with a slice at the bottom of the thick plastic bag. There was at least 1-2 cups of food in the packaging box. I hate to cancel auto ship and was wondering if this is normal.

Package was delivered 600 feet from my house under my mailbox on a public street. It was buried in snow. Driver has no excuse for not delivering it to my home as the driveway and yard were plowed. Pick a delivery service that is not so lazy.

I'm very happy with the quality of their Chicken and Brown rice recipes in the dry food. My dog only eats what tastes good to him. The lower fat & protein content keeps his weight down. Got to make room for some Healthy treats.
