What are your thoughts on nutro max grain free for small breed and avo derm beef recipe ? Which is best or also the blue buffalo wildnerness
I personally do not like Blue Buffalo at all. They have had serious quality control problems which they have admitted due to the fact that they don't own their own factories. They therefore give the recipe to someone to make, and have no control over whether or not the recipe is followed exactly. Plus many colleagues have reported an increase in gas with this food. I would not recommend Blue Buffalo for Fiffy. As for the other two foods, between the two of them I would recommend the Nutro Max. It's a better quality food in my opinion. Just so you are aware, grains are beneficial to dogs and I do not recommend feeding a dog a grain free food unless they have a proven grain allergy, which isn't very common at all in dogs. Food allergies are the least common type of allergies in dogs, and when they do have a food allergy, it is most commonly related to protein not grain. There are very few dogs who have true grain allergies. It is beneficial for Fiffy's health to feed her grains

I am trying to find a healthy , natural dog food for my dog , he is a 75lb coon dog , he's been on blue buffalo for some time now, he eats very little of it every day , I recently have been looking into other good dig foods , my friend feeds her dog
I would not recommend blue buffalo as I have seen some negative side effects of their urine. One of my favorite more natural foods that dogs seem to like is natural balance limited ingredient diets. They have a lot of flavors. I hope this helps.

I fed my jack Russell blue buffalo “life protection” for the 17 years I owned her. I’ve continued it with Kalei, and don’t plan to change brands unless you advise different. But I see that there are 4 different blue buffalo foods.”Basics”, “Freedom”,
Unfortunately, there is no one "best" food for any dog regardless of breed. The "best" food while satisfy three criteria: 1) it is easy to buy 2) your dog will eat it 3) it does not give your dog diarrhea or has any other negative health effects. If there was one perfect food, it wouldn't matter if Kalei wouldn't eat it. Choose a BB formula and stick with it. Monitor her weight and body condition and adjust the amount, up or down, if she losing or gaining too much weight. Read the labels choose diets with quality ingredients and named protein sources while avoiding meat meals or by products. The website www.dogfoodadvisor.com is an excellent resource for comparing diets.

Is Blue Buffalo a good dog food brand? And what is the difference with blue Buffalo and purina dog chow?
Blue Buffalo is a good quality dog food brand, as are Science Diet (I like the Ideal Balance line), Wellness, Royal Canin, Purina ProPlan, etc. The differences in Blue Buffalo and Purina Dog Chow can be found in the types of meats and byproducts used to make the food, the presence of fillers, and sourcing of ingredients. If Purina is the preferred brand, I tend to encourage pet owners to choose from the Purina ProPlan line rather than the basic Dog Chow.

My dog has been very persistent on trying to eat grass the last couple of days.I tried giving him some wet food with his dry food to try to relieve whatever it is but he still wants grass.His eyes have also been a bit red for about 2 month, I dont kn
Frankly, I'm not a fan of Blue Buffalo since they have been cited for lying about the ingredients in their foods more than once. My personal favorite brands of dog food are Science Diet and Royal Canin. Both are excellent quality, made in their own facilities so there's less chance of contamination with other foods and all are extensively tested for effectiveness and palatability. If he hasn't been to the vet in a while, I recommend getting him checked to make sure there isn't some underlying medical condition causing his upset stomach.
