Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food

My dog hated this food. Especially the life bits. She would look at me with disdain when I fed it to her. She would glance at the food in her bowl, sniff it and then look at me with “those” eyes. She avoided the life bits with such determination, even after I bought other dog food and mixed it in. I bought this food because she was on other dog food that was giving her bad gas, and would make her cough. She really liked the other one, but it didn’t seem good for her. This bag of BB I thought would be, and it probably is if I could get her to eat it. Even after mixing other food in it, she knew what I was doing and protested by leaving food behind. Sometimes it would take her two days to finish My dog hated this food. Especially the life bits. She would look at me with disdain when I fed it to her.

That seemed to work, and she eventually got through the bag. … more

I can not stretch this enough. DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND. I would not recommend buying any of the Blue Buffalo items. It made my small dog and medium size dog sick. My small dog was not able to poop for 3 days and was puking every day for those 3 days. When he finally was able to poop is was very runny and his bottom had started to bleed. For my medium dog it wasn’t super bad but still was bad for her. She had soft stool and was not her self. She would eat the food still but I think that was only because she was hungry. If your dog has experience this stuff and your looking to help it I recommend putting 1 raw egg in their food and softing their food. This will help them push out the food better.

Then after that CHANGE THEIR FOOD!! I have not found what food I would like to change it to so if you have recommendations please send them my way. … more

We have two dogs and one of them will eat just about anything, our other guy is SO picky. We’ve gone through multiple brands of dog food and never found dry food he will eat without a wet gravy on top. He LOVES this food. He sits by his bowl and waits for feed time where before he would sit by the bowl and whine. Very happy to have made this shift and finally find something he likes!

Our pet loves this food and for a pug she's stayed very fit on this diet. The price is getting out of control though! We may need to switch to a more reasonably priced diet. Chewy used to have prices better than the stores but that's no longer true and customer service is not what it used to be.

I have switched over to this for the last 2 years. My 2 German Shepherds eat it regularly. Their costs have a clean shine to it and they look healthy. I also give them a half can of Pedigree wet food each. My only problem with Chewy is how the dry and wet dog food are shipped. The cans come dented and the bag of dry food is usually punctured with loose wasted food loose in the box. They ship it fast but it seems like they don't examine the items before packing them. Many times the items are dented and torn prior to shipping. I will continue to buy from Chewy. Thank you!!

My Cocoa is ok with the Blue dry food. She is very picky and has to have canned food mixed in. The small cans of the blue wet food is not her favorite. I had to purchase some other types of blue canned food at the grocery store that she gobbles down.

I've been following the guidelines for switching over the current food to the new food which is going over pretty well. I thought that the blue buffalo would have more life peices like the picture shows. There are only 4 peices per bowl. Is that a normal thing? I just feel like the bags should be more proportioned.

Due to availability, it was necessary to transition from "small dog" food to "adult dog" food. I chose blue buffalo because of the consistency of the ingredients. Both the small dog & adult food have the same ingredients - the difference is the size of the morsels. I transitioned 50/50 till small breed food was gone. My dog has accepted the change without any struggle at all. He can be very finicky about his food.

Currently making the transition from a weight loss dog food, to Blue Buffalo. Both our dogs seem to love it though. They are much smaller bites than expected. Especially for 2 dogs over 50lbs. I suppose that doesn't matter. 30lb bag from Chewy is so much less expensive than purchasing in store.
