My pup loves it

I was using a different brand and my 5 month old Aussie wouldn't eat it until he was really hungry. Now as soon as it hits the bowl he is diving in. Thanks Blue Buffalo

When we got Mac at 11 weeks old he had a bloated belly and a fuzzy coat. Two weeks into the Blue Buffalo, he is energetic, slicked up and full of energy

Not the best

My breeder recommended this food but after getting a bigger size her poop has been awful, very soft stools. Looking to switch to something better.

stomach issue

Puppy Approved

I have 3 Frug puppies that are now 13 weeks old. They have been eating the Blue Buffalo puppy food for the past 10 days. They seem to really like it. We have not had any problems with digestion or skin rashes that can be a problem with these dogs. We are very happy with the food.

our German shepherd puppy loves it

She eats her allowed amount 3 times a day - would like additional but does not get it.

Awesome!

My puppy was having problems with the Purina Pro Plan so I did some research and came across Blue Buffalo puppy food. I'm SO glad I did! My puppy is digesting this food without any problems, has nicely formed stools, and is not vomiting up food any longer. This is what we will be using over the lifetime of our fur baby.

Didn't settle well

Have used Blue Buffalo in the past for years, but transitioned our new puppy to this food and she has had digestive issues since. Diarrhea every few hours. After switching back to a prescription brand, she was fine. Course the batch is bad, but sadly won't be using again for this pup.
