By Slwach on Nov 5, 2020
My puppy Augusta LOVED her first bag of the Blue Buffalo small breed puppy, but the second bag seems to be a different formulation—the kibbles are noticeably different in size and she sort of just sniffs her food and eats 1 or 2 bites before walking away.

My other dogs all eat Merrick brand food, but I recently got a chiweenie puppy, and so I needed very small kibble food. So I tried this. He doesn’t really like it. I have to mix it with the Merrick adult kibbles to even get him to eat it. And those dark pieces? He is amazingly suspicious of them, flipping My other dogs all eat Merrick brand food, but I recently got a chiweenie puppy, and so I needed very small kibble food. So I tried this.

Great food
By Dmpls on Oct 12, 2020
My pups love this dog food. The only problem I have is that it doesn't come in a larger bag. I have two pug puppies and end up needing two bags to get through the month. It becomes a hassle to have to order in the middle of the month before the run out. Other than that, this food is great! My pups love the taste.

My dog Loves it!
By Katplays on Sep 23, 2020
My dog is a small breed puppy and she loves this. Would totally recommend if you don’t like buying human grade food. Also it’s affordable for how big the bag is.

Puppy hates the smaller dark kibble, food meh
By Annagale1 on Aug 27, 2020
My doodle puppy will not eat this food. We have to add a bunch of fancy dehydrated chicken powder just to get her interested. When she gets so hungry she finally gives in, she will literally only eat the big triangles and spit out the smaller dark kibble onto the floor. It’s actually kinda hilarious to watch her sift through it so carefully. We had the blue bag version of this food before, which she didn’t love but would eat for the most part. Now I think we’re switching away from this brand entirely. See photo for evidence of floor kibble.

Healthy Food for my Puppy

I started buying this puppy food when I adopted my girl from the rescue league. She loves it and she is very healthy eating it.

Bigger Kibbles Now
By OreosMom on Jul 17, 2020
Not sure what happened, but the kibble size for this small breed puppy food has changed. We compared it to his old food of the exact same type and it's definitely (and noticeably) bigger. Now our pup isn't as interested in it -- not sure if it's just the size or a recipe change too. He used to lose his mind when it was meal time and now he could care less. And of course I bought the big bag this time. What the heck?!

Puppy change of chow
By Barb on Jul 15, 2020
Puppy eased into Blue with no problem. I am still mixing old and new to phase other out, but love having her on health puppy chow. A fan of Blue for many years.

By Unhappypuppy on Jun 26, 2020
My puppy keeps getting loose stools when he eats the blue buffalo puppy chicken and rice for small breeds. I bought a large bag and now cant use it.
