Blue Buffalo Pet Foods

Mary of Glendora CA (11/26/08)
I have been feeding my 7 month old puppy Blue Buffalo's dry puppy lamb and rice formula for six months and have never had a problem with it, until I recently opened a new bag. He immediately developed diarrhea and gas. On a hunch, I pulled the old bag out of the trash and compared the ingredient list with the ingredient list on the new bag. They have changed their formula but have not put any identifying notification on the bag, nor was there any sign at Petsmart where I bought the food. So consumers are buying this without realizing the formula is completely changed, unless they happen to compare old ingredient lists to new ones.

I guess we consumers have to bring our reading glasses with us every time we buy pet food. I wonder how many other dogs are out there getting sick and their owners have no idea that the pet food formulas have changed.

Puppy has diarrhea and gas and I now have to cold turkey switch his food (to a new brand) without the benefit of a gradual transition.
