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.

Questions

1 - 4 of 4 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

I'm getting a dalmatian puppy this weekend, is Blue a good brand for him? I want to get something that either has no purine or low purine since it can cause stones to form in their kidneys.

  1. Blue buffalo has been great for our Dalmatian, she loves it. She is now 10 months old and we are still giving iti to her. I highly recommend it



We are getting a Boxer puppy in a couple of weeks and was wondering what type of blue buffalo puppy food would be recomended for the healthiest food option.

  1. Life Breed Formula Large Breed Puppy chicken and rice. Do NOT put a Boxer on any grain free food!



Our Goldendoodle has a exremely sensitive stomach. He has diarrhea all the time. We put a probiotic on his food every meal. How is this food with sensitive stomachs?

  1. My great dane/lab puppy has done well on this food after not doing well on other brands. I know everyone says to mix the new food with the old, but we just started him on this without mixing since the other stuff upset his tummy. It did take about 4-5 days for his digestion to balance out but he's been on it 2months now with no issues. And he actually seems to LIKE the flavor of it, whereas he didn't really like the previous 3 foods we tried. I'm not thrilled with having to spend so much on puppy food, but at least you get a good deal of 30% off your first repeat order and a normal discount of around 15% off regular price just by using repeat delivery! Good luck with your pup!



My puppy is 8 months, 105 lbs. the bag only show the amount to feed up to 80 lbs. how much should I feed him?

  1. 5 cups of food
