BLUE Wilderness contains:
Both types of diets can be a good fit. It just depends on the needs of your pet and your personal preference. Whole grains are complex carbohydrates that provide dogs with the energy they need to thrive. But if your pet has sensitivities to grains, you would want a grain-free option. Even Blue Buffalo’s diets with grains are made without corn or wheat — part of our True BLUE Promise. Instead, we use wholesome oats, barley, and brown rice. Both grains and grain-free carbohydrates are healthy and nutritious; we recommend talking with your veterinarian to decide which option is best for your pet.
While grains provide nutrition for pets, some people choose to avoid grains for various reasons. Grains are not common allergens in most dogs and cats, but if your pet is allergic to a specific grain or ingredient, you should avoid it. Blue Buffalo foods never contain corn, wheat or soy.
There are three main benefits of feeding grains:

About Blue Buffalo
The Blue Buffalo story started with a beloved Airedale named Blue, whose family wanted to feed him the best pet food possible. After searching for high-quality options, they decided to create their own food using natural ingredients, real meat first and only the highest standards. That promise still drives them to seek out the healthiest ways to feed and nurture pets, and it lives on every time you fill your pet’s bowl with BLUE.

I really wanted my dog to like it, but she does not. I have to mix some treats to get her to eat her meal, won’t buy again.
Box was filled with ants. Tons of them. I put the box in the house. When I went to open it there were ants everywhere!
I need a chicken free recipe. My dogs absolutely loved the old beef senior recipe and did well on it. If this was chicken free I’d give it 5 stars. I had to change their dry food. It was really nice chewy sent me an email with a heads up that the recipe was changing.
I was concerned about the 28 pound bag of dog food crushing the 2 cartons of Brutus' bone broth I ordered. It happened once before, but I messaged them ahead & they packaged it properly this time. The broth was put on top & separated by thick brown paper. I was relieved when I opened the box & found everything intact. Great job! Thank you!
28 lb. bag too large for small breed. Much harder for elderly person to handle. Bag was not sealed properly causing kibble to spill out into the box. Not happy with this whole situation.
This food is expensive but great quality. The packing leaves something to be desired. I also ordered two pkgs of treats but they were thrown in with the 28 lb bag of food. These smaller bags of treats need to be boxed separately if included with the 28 lb bag. The treats were smashed to crumbs from the 28 lb bag of dry food.
When I order the dry dog food for my 14 year old, 15 lb poodle it is usually a much smaller bag which is no longer available. I now have enough dry dog food to last my puppy for the next two years.
The dog food is great. My issue was with the automatic shipping - would be nice if I got a reminder before getting charged.. I probably could have waited another month or more before getting more pet food.
Sadly the food is not a hit with my girls. Won’t eat it.
Added more weight per bag and increased the price at the same time. Getting close to just feeding regular food, cheaper and makes her happy.
