Customers overwhelmingly praise this puppy food for satisfying even picky eaters, with puppies eating eagerly after rejecting other brands.

I’ve been trying Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice dog food, and overall I think it’s a pretty good option for dogs. It has real chicken as the first ingredient, and I like that it uses brown rice and other ingredients such as vegetables and added vitamins and minerals. Pros: Real chicken is the first ingredient. Contains brown rice, which provides carbohydrates and fiber. No corn, wheat, or soy. No chicken or poultry by-product meals. No artificial flavors or preservatives. Provides a good source of protein for everyday feeding. My dog seems to enjoy the taste and has no problem eating it. Cons: It can be more expensive than some other dog foods. Chicken may not be a good choice for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities. Some dogs may have digestive issues when switching to it too quickly. The ingredient list is fairly long compared with some limited-ingredient foods. Overall: I would give Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice 4 out of 5 stars. It has some good ingredients and is a solid everyday food for many dogs. The biggest downsides are the price and the fact that it may not be suitable for dogs with certain food sensitivities. As with any dog food, what works best depends on the individual dog.

Questions

1 - 10 of 35 Questions

Does this meet AAFCO standards?

    Does any of my mini australian shepherd lovers feed there puppy this? How is it

      Is this safe for cavapoos?

      1. Cavapoo isn’t a real breed. It’s not a high standard breed that should be catered to special needs. So yes it’s safe for any mutt.



      HI i have a pitbull puppy can i start feeding him blue buffalo life time proteccion

        I have a 5 month old Silky Terrier, when i got him we had a issue with Giardia, he was on the pet store food and hated it, then we went to EUKANUBA he stopped eating so now we are trying blue, is this a good idea. im trying find something he will eat.

          I have a 4 month old puppy that I have been feeding Purina dog chow. Should I switch him to BB puppy

          1. I would, we bagged my rough coat Collie Blue puppy food till she was one year old compared to my daughter who bought a puppy from the same litter and my puppies hair and other features are Beautiful with a full head of hair and hers has not grown to the same extent as mine with very little hair as well. I think blue is a great food, she is on the adult now.



          I have a boston terrier puppy and he picks out all the brown circle nuggets in the puppy food. Can you tell me what the brown circle food is that he doesn't like? Thanks for your help.

            How many calories per cup?

            1. Puppy food should stop 7mths in and you can switch to dog food. At your dog's age dog food should remedy the situation.



            What is the country of origin of the ingredients for this product

            1. From everything I researched about this food, it is all USA manufactured I believe the processing is done in Wisconsin.



            can u switch flavors of bb food just to change or shoud u stay with same flavor just orderd my first bag

            1. Dogs are happy to have a tasty, healthy food. Switching dog food, whether flavor or brands can be very hard on their digestive systems. Before my older dogs passed on, they were fed the same flavor and brand for 7 years.
