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

First off, I bought this bc my adult dogs eat the adult version so it’s an easy way to switch over my puppies at 1 year. New puppies can be so so picky! Also they want to eat what everyone else eats so this makes it easy to feed and I don’t worry so much if the big girls eat it. My vet recommends NOT giving grain free food so we prefer this line of Blue Buffalo. This particular food is healthy and has a great nutritional value. My current puppy loves this food plus the food the breeder fed her. My youngest adult dog switched to this right after coming home as she refused the breeder’s food and YES it bothered her tummy but only slightly for a short time. And that’s Bc we didn’t introduce it First off, I bought this bc my adult dogs eat the adult version so it’s an easy way to switch over my puppies at 1 year. New puppies can be so so picky!

It is supposed to be done gradually. … more

Hello! I had purchased Blue Buffalo Puppy prior to rescuing my puppy, Thor, because it is what he was being fed in the foster home he was in (provided by the shelter.) When we got him home, he was very slow to eat and was more like a graze eater than a full meal eater. We thought maybe it was just because he was nervous in a new home. We’ve had him for nearly a month now and still grazes. I added another dog food into the Blue Buffalo Kibble and he separated it out piece by piece, eating the new food and discarding the Blue Buffalo. I’m not saying anything is wrong with the product and it definitely may be that my dog is a picky eater. He just really didn’t like the chicken and rice puppy food Hello!

After switching his food a couple days ago to a new brand; he scarfs it all down in one sitting. I highly suggest getting smaller bags of food until you know what works for your dog. I started out with the largest bag of Blue Buffalo and still have quite a few pounds of it left! … more

My Goldendoodle and Siamese cat are fed Blue Buffalo. You will see people leaving bad reviews but keep in mind, different animals may have allergies.. you know.. like humans. It’s fantastic food for my pup and my cat! They love hearing that food crash against their bowls! Both of their coats are shiny and very healthy. I highly recommend feeding yours Blue Buffalo products! It’s all i will buy!

This product was highly reviewed and I kept seeing commercials about this product which made me decide to give it a try. I slowly transitioned my puppy from her previous dog food by mixing it with this brand. The kibbles came in 2 shapes, regular brown kibbles & round green kibbles. For some reason, my puppy would pick out the round green ones and refused to eat it, she would leave it all over the floor and would only finish the brown ones. Not sure if it's because of the taste or the texture. It was a struggle but we managed to finished the 6 lbs bag, but I will not be getting this flavor again.

We switched our puppy to this and she really liked it but she has skin allergies and we felt she needed a food better suited for her skin and coat. Plus we were giving her all sorts of supplements and money-wise it was adding up. We eventually switched her to Taste of The Wild Pacific Stream which we’ve seen improvement on.

A lot of people complain that the food gave their dog diarrhea, but that's common with young puppies when you try to change their food over. Start with changing over 10% of your old dog food with this to ease them into it. My dog really liked it, but now that he's 6 months he's become a picky eater and we'll be changing out. I would say feed your dog as much as they will eat, the feeding instructions made no sense to me. My vet just recommended a full puppy is a growing puppy.

My fur baby had been on another well known food brand for 7 yrs. Appeared to not be excited to eat lately. Now he looks at us as if to say " did you guys forget something? My bowl is empty".

My pup was 9 weeks old when I transitioned her to Blue and considering the price I thought it would be good brand. Two weeks in she started getting diarrhea and when she was asleep you could hear her stomach making a lot of noise. It got so bad that she was walking in the house and she had an accident out of nowhere usually pups will sniff before going and she was walking then out of nowhere let it out. I couldn’t figure what was wrong so poor thing continued to eat it, now it has been a week since I switch and it was a quick change no more diarrhea!

My puppy loves this but I gave it 4 stars because the bag was ripped a little in the box and there was dog food all in the box but other than that the shipping was very fast and I'll be purchasing again

Thought his would be a really good brand to buy for my new puppy but I don’t believe so now. Didn’t make him feel good when he was eating it and his poop was runny compared to now when he’s on a different food. The kibble has different pieces and one piece is a little round ball and for some reason my puppy wouldn’t eat those. He’d eat all around them but leave those ones.
