Questions & Answers

26 Customer Questions


How many cups are in the 15 lb bag?
Answer by ChewyFeb 11, 2019
There are approximately 12 cups in a 3-pound bag, 24 cups in the 6-pound bag, and 60 cups in the 15-pound bag.

Does the kibble alone (without the LifeSource bits) provide complete nutrition? My dog won't eat the bits.
Answer by ChewyOct 09, 2018
The LifeSource Bits have a precise blend of vitamins and minerals for a healthy oxidative balance. While the kibble would still be a balanced diet, the LifeSource Bits provide extra benefits.

At what age should I transition my puppy to adult dog food?
Answer by ChewyMay 06, 2020
A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months or more. We always recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine when it is appropriate for your individual pet.

What is the sodium content in this food?
Answer by ChewyMay 27, 2021
This variety contains approximately 0.48% Sodium content on an as fed basis.

It's a No-No for my dog

I recently tried transitioning my dog to Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Breed Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe and it wasn't a good fit. For some reason, my dog refuses to eat this brand and when he does it's mostly because there isn't any other food option out for him. On two occasions he has thrown up after eating. Nothing has change in his routine but the food, so I believe it's the new kibble that is causing him food sensitivities. I will not continue with this brand and hate that I bought the 15lb bag. I have no idea what to do with it now.

I have always had great service with Chewy. I have called several times with questions and have had prompt and informative answers. If I have any complaint it would be that your pricing is a bit high. The sizing of you dog sweaters is a little confusing and doesn’t seem accurate. But, never fear I’m happy! Sincerely, Maggie, Molly and Jenny. Terry too!

1st try

This was my first time to try Blue Buffalo. I got this for my little dog as she sometimes has a hard time eating the large dog’s big kibble. She liked it at first and it was the perfect size kibble. She has bad teeth, so I thought this would be easier for her to eat smaller pieces. Later she started leaving her food in the dish at feeding time and wanting something else. I knew she had eaten this just fine when I first got it. But I believe she thought “the grass was greener on the other side of the fence” when she noticed the other dogs still getting the bigger kibble. So, she went back to eating what they eat. She did the same thing with the big kibble before I bought the BB small kibble. So, I think she’s being fickle. I started using some of the BB small kibble as reward treats for the bigger dog when learning new tricks. One of the dogs will eat this. I just wish the little dog would stay with it.

Good Product

I have a 6 pound Chihuahua. She free feeds and I keep her bowl full of this food at all times. She eats it without a problem. I would like for the pieces to be a little smaller, but she eats it ok. When I first got her, she was eating Royal Canin and the pieces were tiny and she loved it, but, I didn't like the ingredients. First ingredient was corn. Yuk. I like ingredients in this dog food.

Blue Diamond dog food

My dogs love this food. But when ordering I asked the customer representative to combine my orders. Well, she did but I got two (2) bags of dog food and should of been only one (1). I have 2 dogs and they will eat it but take awhile. I should have notified someone but didn’t want to send back and be charged for shipping. Didn’t know if they could even credit my account at this time. I love this convenient shopping.

Favorite

The only food we have fed Max for 11 years. Even though he has lost a number of teeth he still manages to handle this because of the small size pieces.

Senior Small Breed

My 22 lb CavaPom loved the Basics Senior Chicken and Potato, so thought I’d step it up and try the Sr Small Breed Chicken and Rice. It was a “no go”. Two servings and alot of gas for my dog and she wasn’t interested in eating it at all on the 2nd day.

Likes It

Changed our Chihuahua Mix 9 yr. old to this from a different Blue Buffalo food. She seems to like this food a LOT better than what we had for her before! What better recommendation can I give than that our dog likes the food!!

My pup likes it

I was using Diamond Naturals before. He gets bored so I switched over. At first he wolfed it down without a topper, which he always likes. I think we will keep using this brand.

My dog loves this food!

I've heard many good things about Blue Buffalo, and as I was getting ready to switch my puppy over to adult food, I decided that buying Blue Buffalo would be better than the other adult food I was currently buying my other adult dog. I'm glad I made the switch. My puppy absolutely loves the food. I will definitely keep buying it.
