I wish they were more stars than five because they would get it. I have a little finicky puppy And He only will eat Every other kibble that I've tried Unless unless he's starving And I didn't even get the food poured in his bowl after getting Blue Buffalo He smelled it before I got it in the bowl and he was just jumping up and down I wish I could have caught him on my phone But once I put it his bowl down he didn't even look up It was amazing how much he loved it Awesome awesome product.

Great products for your furbaby! Bully Max was our favorite but the price is a bit to steep for us. We go thru 250 lbs of food a month. We live on 4 acres so we have 180 lb great Pyrenees, 2 80 lb german sheps, 2 shows, a a European doberman. All of them are fixed and our vet told us about Blue. They all love it & so do we! If yall haven't tried it? Your furbaby will thank you. Beautiful shiny coats, cute down on the shedding, and (not to be gross) their poopies are less frequent & dont smell as bad. Try it cause you won't be disappointed.

Trying this food for the first time and it has my 5 month old puppy pooping waaay more than usual. Some days, he won’t even eat it. He checked out great at the vet. I will be going back to his other brand.

I have a new puppy and he seems like to enjoy this Blue Buffalo healthy growth formula for puppies. It’s a medium size bag for a reasonable price. It doesn’t cause any digestive issues and seems to agree with him. I feel like Blue Buffalo is one of the safer brands of dog food to buy from

Myself along with my fellow puppy owner friends are dealing with the same issue. Loose, stinky stool from Blue Buffalo puppy food. While we can't do anything about the smell (we've concluded from fish ingredients), we've addressed the loose stool. Each feeding we add a quarter teaspoon of organic pumpkin🎃. *Maybe Blue Buffalo could just add it to the list of ingredients??* This is a regularly reviewed concern with customers.

My puppy loves his food! He came to me already eating this but we will be transitioning to adult Blue Buffalo when the time comes.

My 2 year old, 35 lb bernedoodle loves this food. It is the perfect size for her to chew without just swallowing it down. Or had never given her stomach issues. Great brand that I trust for my dog.

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.
