My dogs LOVE this food! They can be a little picky sometimes, but dive right into their bowls with this. I feel good knowing it’s made with real ingredients that I can actually read and no weird fillers. Their coats look shinier, and they seem to have more energy since switching. It’s a little pricier, but totally worth it for happy, healthy dogs.

My lhasa apso loves this food. I had her on another well known dry food which caused her to always have brown stains under her eyes. I heard about this brand and decided to switch a few years back and no more brown stains!

Yes, I recommend this product.

The packing is closable for freshness. When you open the bag you can smell the fresh chicken scent and brown rice. The texture is small bite size for a small dog. It has no extra chemicals it's healthy for your dog.

Good Dog Food!

This food is also a good choice. I fed this to my dogs years ago and they all seemed to enjoy it. The only reason why I switched because the store we were purchasing this from continuously didn’t have the chicken and my dogs don’t do well on any other flavors. Highly recommend!

I have a 5 and 10ysr dog can I feed them same stuff from blue

  1. Hi Jimmy, While our senior and mature recipes are formulated for pets 7 years and older, we do not necessarily believe a pet becomes a senior as soon as he or she turns 7 years old. We recommend evaluating your pet's body condition and activity level when determining if a senior recipe is appropriate. If your pet's activity level has begun to slow down and your pet is showing signs of aging then a mature recipe is probably best. However, if your dog remains active and healthy, and is not "acting his/her age" then we recommend continuing to feed an adult recipe. We hope this information is helpful!



Hi. Does anyone here feed this food to their Maltese? And how do they do?

  1. We feed it to our rat terrier who is almost 10 years old and it is the only food we have fed him.



does this contain grain? surprisingly the vet wants my dog on a diet that has grain currently he is on BLUE dog food but it has no grain

  1. Yes whole grains barley, rice and oatmeal.  No soy or corn



I have a 25 lbs mini golden doodle which blue dry food can I feed her? And how much ? 

  1. We have an 8-year old, 17# rat terrier and we feed him a cup at breakfast and a cup at dinner of Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Adult Small Breed Chicken and Brown Rice Dry Dog Food. 



How many calories is in blue formula for small breed puppies

  1. Adult is 397 calories per cup.



I will soon be transitioning my Schnauzer pup to adult dog food and I'm torn as to which Blue Buffalo adult dog food is best. Any suggestions?

    Does anyone know how many cups there are in a fifteen pound bag? My dog eats about a cup a day and I would like to do the repeat delivery, so I need to find out how long a bag would last. Thanks

    1. Same here. I have it ship every 2 months. Over laps about a week but I am ok with that. I don't want to run out.



    I have 2 schnauzers, would they be considered a small breed? I could not decide between small breed adult or adult formula?

    1. Yes, a Schnauzer is considered a small breed.



    What size are the Small breed kibbles of Blue dog food

    1. The kibble bits are about the size of a green pea or smaller. They are easy for my Bichon to eat and provide plenty of "crunch factor".



    allergies

    1. No her ears were checked yrs ago by my vet she has food allergies.If you read what I wrote you would have seen the itching her ear stopped within a month of putting her on the premium edge.I was looking for a blue buffalo food like the premium edge
