Blue Buffalo Pet Foods Reviews

I euthanized my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog due to inoperable abdominal mass. Blue Buffalo Dog food killed my dog. He ate Blue Basics Salmon and Potato. And started exhibiting symptoms in early Jan. of incontinence on bowel and bladder and vomiting as well as discomfort. BB poisoned my dog in his 4 short years. They cannot state they do not use Chinese ingredients. The falsely advertise. If my dog can save another's pet life I will continue to speak. Stop immediately feeding your dogs BB, it is POISON!!!!!

I fed my 2 small dogs (one has a cast iron stomach) Blue Buffalo Basics Salmon & Potato (can) and within a few minutes they both started to throw up. I have never seen my dogs do this. I know in the past they have never had tummy issues. Sometimes during the holidays I have overly spoiled them and they have been fine. :/

I switched my dog from dental chews made in China to Blue Buffalo dental chews because of the warnings on products from China. With all the natural ingredients and no fillers and made in the USA, how could I go wrong. Plus the high price equals quality.. WRONG. After 3 days of one chew per day my dog started throwing up. I took her off for a few days thinking they were new and she had to get used to them. I tried again and after a few days she started eating grass and throwing up again.. I stopped the chews again.. Within a few days she woke up refusing food and water and couldn't jump off the bed.. She felt HOT..

My dog is 13 yrs old and has never had any issues (thank god) and I decided to switch his food for one that has more vitamin since he is older. The lady from Blue Buffalo approached me at PetSmart and told me it was the best (I normally look everything up before giving anything to my dog). But since she told me it was great I went ahead and bought it and not even 2 weeks in from changing my dog to Blue Buffalo he started acting differently. His stomach was so hard and swollen and when I would touch it he would cry so I rushed him to the vet and he had severe pancreatitis and gastritis. He had to be on liquid fluids for a week at the vet with an IV and now he has to be on a special diet.

This past week, February 9, 2015, my beloved dog Sherlock died within 24 hours of beginning to throw up. He has been on Blue Buffalo for 1 year, and in November was diagnosed with diabetes. A year ago his glucose was normal @ 103. When diagnosed, it was over 400. We were treating him with insulin, contemplating taking him off BB, but reluctant to make too many changes too fast. I purchased a new bag of food on 1/16/2015, which he began to eat on Feb 7th. He began vomiting violently on the 9th @ 6pm, and could not even stand 8 hours later, and he died Feb 10th @ 5:30pm. He was in hospital, being treated. Ultrasound shown severe pancreatitis, filling his abdomen with infection. I'm devastated to think this food may have caused this! The photo of Sherlock was taken 2 weeks before he died. This dog was under constant veterinary care. Our bills are over $10,000.

We rescued Sadie (our now 4-year old female German Shepherd) in Feb. 2013. We fed her Iams chicken and rice formula, and she did wonderful on it. NO problems whatsoever. My boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to feed her something with more "natural" ingredients, so we switched her to Blue Buffalo in July 2014. We followed the switching instructions and gradually added in the new dog food until she got used to it. The first couple of weeks seemed fine, but right after that we noticed she was having a lot of gas and her stool was softer than usual. A few weeks later, she became violently ill. Vomiting, lethargic, wouldn't even try to eat a treat, and then the horrible diarrhea came. Very liquidy, and discolored. Possibly had some blood in it because of how dark it was.

Our Rottweiler has had Blue Buffalo since 8 weeks old. He has had no problems with anything. Right now he will be 3 years old in March and weighs 128 lbs. Active and loving bear who still thinks he's a lap dog.

Life protection puppy formula caused chronic diarrhea in my puppy. After taking my puppy to the vet and all tests coming back negative, she was placed on a gastrointestinal health prescription diet. Her diarrhea immediately ceased. When I tried to reintroduce Blue she immediately started with loose stools, so back to the prescription diet we went. Once again, she had normal stools. I tried placing her back on Blue one more time (diarrhea started 11 hours after 1st meal) because I didn't realize the correlation until stumbling on this website. Thank you to all of those who took the time to post because I'm certain my dog would have continued to suffer and I would be spending even more money at the vet!

I bought Blue canned food for my mini pin last week, he became ill, throwing up, diarrhea. Took him to the vet, $129 later & meds, she said it was from the dog food!! I think it should be pulled from the shelf before more pets get sick or die. It's been a week & he's still not feeling good!

I went to Petco and was persuaded by the salesperson to buy Blue Buffalo dog food for my dog. The sales lady had told me if I wanted the best food for my dog I should purchase Blue Buffalo which I did. My fur baby has a very sensitive stomach. She's west highland white terrier so I purchased the lamb and rice from Blue Buffalo. My dog was on the new food for 1-1/2 months. I started to see her become lethargic and need to go potty more and more. She developed diarrhea with blood in her stool and was peeing very frequently.

My 19 month old puppy, Noah, started scratching himself on the neck. He had a rash. I had been feeding him Blue puppy grain free then switched to Freedom. He wasn't eating a lot and I thought it was because of my crazy schedule. So I bought some salmon and egg wet food to put in with the dry. He ate it but his rash got worse so I switched to chicken and egg. I took him to the vet and the vet said the rash probably was from food. I got on-line last night and found this website. I'm so glad I did. I changed his dog food last night. My vet even said that Blue was a good food. I'm going to show him this website. I pray my puppies rash goes away and that nothing else starts. If you look closely you can see how his neck is red. Thank you for your postings.

Started this product on my four small pups a week ago. One of my yorkies has had severe diarrhea and blood spots. It started out as soft stool and by day 3 (today) when I returned home, blood. I have started the BRAT diet (i.e. rice for dogs) and will be at the vets tomorrow. Cannot express the need for higher standards for all dog foods. This is not a sole a BB issue. It is for many dog foods allowed in the US. Stop importing with lesser guidelines is the only answer!

On Christmas day 2014 my Dog Brody became so sick with vomiting uncontrollably that we could not keep up with him. My heart broke for this poor boy. The following day it seem to subside to only throwing up twice so I figured he just had some type of bug, but by the 27th my dog was lethargic, throwing up again and shaking in pain. We call a vet and they ran test on him and found that his liver and pancreas was shutting down. Once the Vet found out that we were feeding him Blue Buffalo she explained that they were using byproducts in their food and this is what made Brody so sick.

On January 17, 2015 we transitioned our 14-month old Shiba Inu to Blue Freedom Adult Dog Food: Lamb Recipe from the Blue Freedom Puppy formula that he had been eating without incident since he was 9-weeks old. Two and a half weeks later on the night of February 4, 2015 he started vomiting and by February 7, 2015 he was diagnosed with profound kidney failure. We put him to sleep the next day, February 8, 2015. The suspected causes are either Leptospirosis bacterial infection (he was not vaccinated against that) or poisoning.

We have a samoyed and Shiba Inu and both were eating Blue Buffalo Chicken. Both our dogs have had occasional diarrhea, but didn't think too much about it. In January our Samoyed had very bloody stool and diarrhea - we took her to Banfield (which don't get me started on them!!) and got her on antibiotics. They stated she had an overgrowth of bacteria. The next month we came home from work to bloody diarrhea, vomit, and an extremely sick dog. After meeting with our new Vet and trying to figure out why she had yet another overgrowth of bacteria, we pinpointed the issue! HER FOOD. This food has a good marketing strategy with false ingredients! STAY AWAY!!! After spending countless dollars on our dog's being sick, thinking it was anything but the "healthy" dog food - we are very angry with this company!!!

I purchased Blue Buffalo Small Breed Lamb and Rice dog food for my 1 and 1/2 year old Jack Russell Terrier/Blue Heeler Mix since late-December 2014. Today, I took my dog into the veterinarian with acute pancreatitis. He will be on painkillers, IV fluids and antibiotics at the veterinarians office. Hopefully, he will survive and recover. The bill for this visit is likely to be at minimum several hundred dollars. When I told my veterinarian what I fed my dog, she told me to stop feeding him Blue Buffalo right away. My dog does not eat table scraps, only Blue Buffalo dry food. As I read out complaints, I realized that my dog is also suffering from other symptoms reported in other complaints. He is shedding excessively. Can anyone explain to me why this company is still selling this dog food and why more is not being done to protect consumers?

I found a rock in the bag of food purchased in January 2015. I called they said I could turn in the bag and sent an envelope for the rock. Coincidentally my 10 yr old dog died Friday blood in stomach and mouth? Will I ever know, he seemed to go down very quickly, strange isn't it.

My dog has been on Blue Buffalo for 2 1/2 years and now she is getting blood in urine. We did all kinds of tests and no bacteria showing but still blood. Has been on antibiotics for over a month and still showing blood. I know that others had blood in stool but has anyone had issues with blood in urine? Help.

Bought 2 bags of this very expensive food. Dogs have eaten Iams all of their life but now that they are quite elderly thought that grain-free might help reduce joint pain. When I was mixing to transition them to the new food, they were eating but then when it was more than 2/3 BB, they quit eating it. At this age, not eating could be for any number of reasons. Thinking the kibble might be harder than what they were used to with Iams, I'm now adding chicken broth to soften so they can eat it. They won't touch it without the broth. They've had loose bowels but thought it was due to the transition.

About a month ago I switched my cats' food from Purina to BB. I heard Purina had ingredients I didn't think were safe for my cats but all 3 were in perfect health. They range from 3 to 6 yrs old. They seemed fine for the first 3 weeks then the youngest started losing her appetite and vomiting constantly. Then a 2nd cat started vomiting and refuses to eat the food. I switched food for 2 days, the problem stopped. I gave them this food again, problems returned. l switched to wellness brand, prob. solved. Problem is from canned and dry foods. I'll never buy again chicken grain free dry/various canned. These cats never vomited anything more than an occasional hairball prior to eating this food. Ever!!

My wife did a lot of research to find our pet a healthy dog food. About 4 months ago we made the switch to blue buffalo, I am sorry we did it now. Our Holly almost died last night. We just started a new bag we bought the other day and after she ate last night it started. She went outside for a while in our yard after supper as she always does, no sooner did she come in. My daughter found her throwing up and there was runny stool everywhere. Then she collapsed and almost stopped breathing.

We have two cats and two dogs. The dogs have been on Instinct's Nature's Variety with great success. My cats had been on blue buffalo for some time when my older cat developed diabetes. She was diagnosed when she stopped eating prompting a trip to the vet. It was imperative she started eating so she could receive her insulin and the only thing she would eat was friskies wet food. Once her diabetes was under control we eventually switched back to leaving blue buffalo out during the day and using a little wet food in the mornings and evenings for giving her insulin (she would not eat any of the prescription food either). This was the end of last year. Shortly after switching back she started defacating outside of the litter box and has been having bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. I didn't think anything of it since only one cat was sick, but then noticed the other cat avoids the blue buffalo and mostly eats the wet food.

I switched my 1.5 year old yellow labrador, Payton, to Blue Buffalo Wilderness in September of 2014. He was doing great on it. On Jan 17th 2015, Payton came down with horrible diarrhea. Our Vet did stool testing for bacteria and parasites - nothing found. Coincidentally, he had started a new bag of BBW on Jan 9th. So, we put him on a bland diet of rice and boiled turkey. He almost instantly recovered. Then we slowly transitioned him back onto BBW last week. His stools have become more and more loose as we increased BBW back into his diet.

I would not recommend this pet food to any pet owner, dog or cat. This company claims to provide a natural evolutionary diet, but it is anything but natural. The company adds caramel to their food, most likely to darken those little brown lifesource bits. For anyone who does not know, caramel is caramel color, thus 4 MEI. I sent an email to the company asking how much 4 MEI was in a 1 cup serving of pet food, and they did not know. The company assured me that the levels of 4 MEI were low, but they did not know an exact number. 4 MEI occurs during the browning of food, which can happen when pet food is made. This company adds additional caramel color to please the consumer only, as caramel color has no taste or nutritional value.

I would have given zero stars, or NEGATIVE stars, but that option wasn't offered...I am sick to my stomach reading these reviews on Blue Brand dog food. My two dogs have been having diarrhea for several days now. I came online to do some research about their food, considering they are BOTH sick, and the food is the only thing they have in common. Reading what all these other people wrote-- about their dogs and cats having diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy-- some going into liver and kidney failure, some Precious Babies losing their lives-- well I am just in tears, and also SO extremely scared for my two babies-- and at the same time, I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE BLUE BUFFALO COMPANY, *KNOWING* this is happening, and keeping their products out there anyway!!!

My son's pit bull has been eating blue buffalo for a couple of years and has been fine, then about 2 months ago he started having diarrhea and vomiting in the house. I would wake up and there would be diarrhea on the carpet and also some vomit so I took him to the vet. They would put him on an antibiotic, a probiotic and a vile of this brown liquid to give to him as soon as we got home. So I gave him a bland diet of boiled chicken, he won't eat rice for a few days and he got better. Then I put him back on the blue buffalo and it started again so for a second time the vet put him on the meds again and I gave him boiled chicken and science diet RD Gastrointestinal Health. He got better again so we thought maybe he got into something.

I just bought a got a new puppy. Went to one of the Pet supply stores and they pushed Blue Buffalo and how good it was. Over the course of the first day, the puppy's stools went from normal to soupy. I thought it might be just because he was so young and was in a new environment. Over the next 2 days, just got worse and worse. Wasn't until I started checking the internet that I now know it was BB puppy food. Hopefully, I've caught it before I've done permanent damage to him. Will go back to Purina puppy chow.

My lab retriever is almost two years old and has been eating Blue Buffalo since he was 4 months old with no issues. I just opened a new bag ordered in January 2014 and within five minutes of him eating his breakfast, he proceeded to throw up 19 times over the course of two hours. He had been fine the night prior and I had watched him outside, so he didn't eat anything else that would've caused that. I've fed him chicken and rice for the past day and a half since the incident. Do not feed your animals this food. They are outsourcing to China and it is endangering animals.

I have been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo wilderness chicken for many years. Starting this fall she began leaving her bowl without touching the food. I tried dressing up the kibble with yogurt, and convincing her to eat it. She was definitely hungry but not wanting to eat the food in the bowl. I chalked it up to being picky in her older age. She began to have diarrhea and no amount of add-ons to her kibble was working. I wanted to check out other food options for her since she obviously wasn't interested in Blue Buffalo anymore when I came across this site.

We have fed this dog BB since 8 weeks old because my son researched it. He continually has ear issues, prostate issues, and had blood in stool, and now blood in urine. He has been getting treated regularly by a Vet, and after reading all these reviews, I am convinced it is this food! How dare they not address this issue with the public. How can we get this know public? Why doesn't a Network pick this up and follow through with this. Way too many animals are getting sick from this food. This is a shame. Blue Buffalo - you should be ashamed of yourself. Your advertising budget must be Huge. How about some research and answers! NOW.

We have a 6 yr. labradoodle therapy dog. For at least two years we have been feeding him BB lamb/rice... chicken/rice. About 10 days ago, we purchased a new bag of dog food. For three days he walked to his dog dish and would not eat ANY of it. I tried putting little pieces of toast buried in the food, which he did pick out, but would not eat any of the dry dog food. Tried "hand feeding" absolutely would have NONE of it. This is a dog that was visiting patients in the hospital, and children in school during this period. Finally, I decided to turn to the internet and found this site. OMG!!! We feel so fortunate that the dog was smart enough to refuse this horrendous dog food. I took the bag back to the shop and they gave me my money back with the question "Was there anything wrong with it?" I told them to check this site. Thank you, thank you to everyone who took the time to write their experiences!

I began using blue buffalo sensitive stomach several years ago for my golden retriever- research and the vet said it was a good choice. My dog faced bouts of explosive diarrhea and vomiting - after expensive tests and large pet insurance deductibles with diagnosis ranging from gastritis to pancreatitis, I finally went review hunting on blue and found this forum. I was horrified and felt like I was feeding my dog poison - switched immediately after painlessly reading labels and review etc ended up using grain-free merrick and he has had zero episodes since we are going on about six months or more now. Maybe BB was too rich not toxic. I really have no idea but I will never go back and I hope they take a look at these reviews and find out the source of illnesses for so many pets. I thank god my poor baby is better and I feel so bad for others on here who lost their furry friends or have an animal who is ill because of BB.

I had been feeding my 3 cats Friskies and was told Blue Buffalo was really good for cats, so I decided to give it a try. Yesterday we had to take our boy cat to the vet because he had crystals in his bladder. After $500 of vet bills and medications, we went home and hoped he would urinate... but he couldn't. We spent a very painful night with him becoming more and more lethargic, drooling continuously, not eating or drinking and becoming more and more vacant in expression. This morning we rushed him back to the vet so that they could catheterize him and put him on an intra venial re-hydration. I was informed by the Vet that he had crystals in his bladder and a significant amount of blood.

We have been using blue Buffalo doctrine over the past few years but just recently after buying a new bag of food, our dog starting getting very ill similarly to what many of the other complaints are regarding it. It's been going on for three weeks now because we didn't realize it was the food that was doing it, our dog was unable to hold down food and when he would throw out, it would be yellow and white. Took him to the Vet and he said that he had a bad bacterial infection and gave him and him antibiotics which seemed to help until we gave him this damn food again not realizing it was the issue.

I wanted to give my 2 shih tzus good food. I switched to BB about 3 months ago and just today again one of my shih tzu has thrown up all her food again and seems like they do not like it. I will be switching tomorrow and returning this bag. Not sure what to give them now. I have a bad feeling about Blue Buffalo.

Our dog is experiencing stomach issues. When we take him off of Blue Buffalo and go to rice and chicken, he seems fine. As soon as we start to mix in Blue Buffalo, the issues begin. Our vet alerted us to issues with the food. We had done parasite testing which came back negative. This has been very alarming to us.

We started feeding our cats Blue Buffalo canned cat foods about a month or two ago. We changed over from Natural Balance because we thought it was a better quality brand. Boy, were ever wrong!! After switching to Blue Buffalo one of our cats, a Maine Coon who is three years old, developed litter box problems where he was straining to poop with little or nothing coming out. At first, we thought he may be constipated or have a large hairball, so we gave him Laxatone, which did absolutely nothing. Despite him eating, he was rapidly losing weight. I took him to the vet where they ran their battery of tests - blood work, urinalysis and a stool sample when he was able to get something out. All tests came back normal, but he was still having trouble in the litter box and when something did finally come out, it was watery diarrhea. He continued to lose weight and the vet suggested an x-ray and ultrasound.

36 hrs. ago I gave 1/4 cup of Blue Buffalo (pink bag, Life Protection Formula from a 6 lb. bag) to my 13 yr old dog. She is 55 lbs. and has been vomiting ever since. She is nauseous and barely ate chicken this morning. I am thankful she is not dead. She is tender under her belly and has an appointment with the vet this afternoon. I got the bag from a friend whose Yorkie developed pancreatitis, had to have fluids, almost died, and is now on a strict diet. I never thought the dog food would be the cause since the vet said it was common for Yorkies to develop pancreatic issues. I did not give the food to my other two dogs because they have fish allergies, so I know it has to be this Blue Buffalo food.

I have fed my pug BB for years. I recently purchased a new bag. After, he started getting very sick so I thought he had a stomach bug. Took him off and fed him a bland diet. Once he got better, I put him back on his food. Same illness returned and now I am reading all of you saying this is happening to your pets too. Time for a new food!!

Well my dog has been on Blue Buffalo for his whole life which is a year and 8 month. So this month I got his food like normal. Well about 2 week ago he started not wanting to eat in the am but would eat at night, so I was not too worried. Well then he started throwing up and had poop that looked like slime. So we went to the vet last Friday and they said he has a stomach virus, sent home with antibiotics. Did great when I made him chicken and sweet potato, so Monday we started back with the dog food. Well Monday and all week throwing up and the same poop, so back to the vet today and after 375 dollars he now has a pancreas infection and 2 antibiotics. Not a happy mamma here, never again will I feed him this food!!!

I have read many reviews where owners are lashing out at the Blue Buffalo Pet Food company for associating their pets reaction solely to the "switch" from previously used pet food to the BB pet food. I really hope that most people that read these posts are not blind to catch very simple problems with these very amateur and emotional reactionary attacks. Dogs especially require a transition to a new food. Any sudden change will almost always cause a reaction of diarrhea or constipation, and it is always recommended that owners keep a portion of the old food to blend with any introduced food for a period of at least a few days to a week. Most veterinarians will tell you a mixture of approximately 25% old to new is fine, but if you could 50-50 blend then slowly ween back the old food until you are feeding 100% new is best - especially if already unhealthy.

I am not sure that it is Blue Buffalo causing these current symptoms. I recently purchased a yorkie. Everything has been fine with him until today January 28, 2015. When I came home from work, he was seizing and foaming at the mouth. He has been on Blue Buffalo for 3 weeks. The first can he ate, everything was fine. I purchased this new can last weekend and he didn't eat it as much. The vet said he has liver shunts, but after reading all these reviews I am anxious to see what happens the next few days after he is taken off of this food. If anyone else is experiencing something like this, please let me know. Again I am not accusing BB of anything at this time since we still have to rule out the liver shunts. My observation of my puppy is just starting to look similar to what I am reading here.

My dog has bouts of gel-like diarrhea and lately gotten worse. I'm switching her food based on this post to see if there is an improvement. I'm very worried!

Transitioned my cat to Blue Wilderness Salmon recipe. After a week, my cat was lethargic, vomiting everywhere, and had bloody stools with mucous. She had to be seen and treated at the vet hospital. This was very costly over a bag of cat food. The vet informed me that this in not uncommon with the Blue Buffalo foods, especially with dogs. Buyer beware!

I began feeding this food to my 8 year old German Shepherd In December. First Bag of Blue Wilderness seemed fine, stools were a little soft. Bought Second Bag and my dog walked away from eating it at all. Eventually he would eat it and now I have had nothing but troubles. My dog has been vomiting, very loose stools and got very sick. He refused to eat for 3 days and had to go into vet. Still having problems with very loose stools for 3 weeks now. I will not be feeding anymore of this food. 2 vet trips and $500.00 later. Petco you should be ashamed and pull this off your shelves.

Blue Wilderness Chicken recipe for seniors - My 12 yr old dachshund has eaten Blue Buffalo for 3 feedings. Today he has uncontrollable diarrhea. There has been no other change in his diet other than the Blue Buffalo dog food.

We have been faithful believers in Blue Buffalo's claim to have no additives or fillers and being the best thing since sliced bread. Boy were we wrong! We just found out via our Vet and a reliable pet food outlet that there is a class action going on against the Blue Buffalo people for making false claims in regards to their product! The posts I have read from other pet owners have horrified my wife and I, our dog, our baby has had similar symptoms to which we have had to spend countless dollars in an effort to find a remedy. Bloody urine, blood on her stool, rashes on her belly and the list goes on, disgusting!! The Blue Buffalo food we have left is not fit for the trash. Maybe the producers of this food should sit down to a belly full of this crap before selling another bag. They are done in our house and we will be definitely broadcasting their lies!!

My 1-year-old dog died last week because he ate Blue Buffalo dog food. He was just at the vet a week before he died and he was in good health. I had decided to try Blue Buffalo and he finished a small bag of it and last Thursday January 22, 2014 he was really sick and took him to my vet twice. The vet said he was poisoned and asked if he got into something in the house. We checked and found nothing. I have been researching this food and come to find out the food is now made in China. That explains a lot. I am not the only one that has had a problem with this food. Please go online and look it up. Can't something be done so no more dogs need to die or get sick? This is crazy. Help someone needs to care.

My 1 yr old boston started eating blue buffalo and became very sick!!! Vomiting, lethargic, loss of hair. Yes going bald around ears and on her butt!!! After throwing this expensive junk out and switching back to science diet she improved!! This company DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PET OR ITS HEALTH!!!! Boycott it.

We rescued our dog from xl dogs resue, an awesome organization as far as I'm concerned. They had been feeding bear blue buffalo rocky mountain wilderness formula. They mention he had some stomach issues and recommended we stick with that or switch very slowly. Not wanting to upset his stomach we stayed with the same food. We slowly added blue buffalo wilderness beef stew to his dry food to help with his acid reflux (as diagnosed per our vet). By early November 2014 we had him eating the 1500 kcals he needed to be a healthy 78lb dog. Keep in mind all blue wilderness even his treats. Around thanksgiving he began with severe diarrhea and his acid reflux was back and worse. We continued with blue. Sure it couldn't be that.

I thought I was doing a good thing for my dogs when I started buying Blue Wilderness Salmon Adult Dog Food months ago. Instead, my six year old Corgi became so sluggish, all he did is retreat to his crate. Worse, however, was my 16 year old Cairn Terrier's reaction when he simply would not eat the food. I couldn't believe my eyes because he has never refused food before. Not only did he refuse it, but he kept pushing the bowl with his nose trying to turn the bowl over. At first I thought he was getting senile and wanted to eat it off the floor, so after a bit, I turned the bowl over, but he just walked away. I gave him some biscuits and veggies, but he was not getting the nutrients he needed, so I took him to the vet. His blood work was fine, his X-rays showed some arthritis which is common, and he has a slight heart murmur but nothing to explain the refusal to eat.

Our schnauzer is Two years old. He has been eating Blue all of his life, never had any issues until this week... uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea for three days. Took him to the Vet... He was diagnosed with pancreatitis and caused from his dog food and treats all made from Blue buffalo. $600.00 later, changed dog food and He is doing fine. We will never use Blue Buffalo again.

I had always heard that BB was a good choice for dogs, so I decided to switch over from his previous food.. I have a blue nose pit that is a year and a half old, he was healthy and happy before using BB. After 5 weeks on the BB chicken recipe, I began seeing changes in my dog.. His poop was seldom hard and he had awful gas all the time, he lost 8 lbs and was sleeping more than usual. It wasn’t until I noticed blood in his stools that realized that something was seriously wrong.

My cat had severe allergy issues. They were never fully resolved using prescription food. It was expensive and my cat eventually refused to eat it. These issues were resolved when I switched to the blue buffalo basics line.

I purchased a new bag of blue buffalo chicken brown rice in Dec 2014. The Best to use date is by Jan 23. 2016. Once she started to eat the food from the new bag she started to have terrible gas, within a few days, diarrhea began. That has been several weeks, I have given her antibiotics, did the rice diet. But she is still going very soft and then the gas comes back. That is why I decided to research the dog food. It makes me sick to think that bb could be the cause of her sickness.

I have been using Blue Buffalo brand dog food for over 2 years now. Up until December it was fine. This last bag I bought in January did not seem right. In fact our 8-year-old Chiweenie acted like she didn't like it anymore and just recently would go over and smell it and walk away. Yesterday I actually smelled it up close and it has a very unpleasant odor of feces and almost made me sick. It was the Freedom Chicken brand for smaller breeds. She is part Chihuahua/miniature Dachshund. I threw it away and fixed her a dish of regular cooked chicken and rice and she ate that.

I found rocks in my dogs food shaped like the kibble. I have tried several times to contact Wild Blue. I have emailed and phoned them. I got no response. This is the worst dog food ever!!! Paid for a bag of rocks.

Blue Wilderness - My perfectly healthy 1 year old cat died from this food. December 23 he started peeing on furniture (which he never did before). I noticed blood in his urine, took him to vet and they put him on antibiotics thinking it was a UTI, 5 days later he seemed better. New Year's Eve noticed him doing it again, but this time crying while peeing and seemed very lethargic all day. So being New Year's Eve I have to bring him to ER vet. Turns out he has a blocked urethra from his bladder being filled with crystals. They tried to unblock him but he kept re-blocking.

My 2 year old German Shepherd has been eating Blue Buffalo products most of her life. Come to find out after feeding her the Wilderness blend, that like a lot of German Shepherds, she has a sensitive stomach. I switched to the Blue Buffalo basic formula and she had no problems for months. I would switch flavors now and then but no issues. However I purchased a bag of the Salmon & Potato Recipe right before Christmas 2014 and within a week she had the worst case of diarrhea she has ever had in her life. She also was vomiting. I took her to my vet and they gave her an IV and some antibiotics as well as a Rice and Chicken blend of soft dog food. I also switched her back to the Large Breed Basic formula and seems to have no issues. This was a scare for me and dealing with her sensitive issues in the past, I have no doubt it was that formula that brought on her ailment.

We started feeding our two small dogs BB a few months. This morning our biggest started peeing blood. Took him to the best vet in town, $100 and a sonogram later they found bladder stones too big to come out on their own. They're positive it's diet related and gave us a special dog food to keep the pH levels down. We also scheduled surgery to have them removed which is going to run $1300. Consumer beware when buying this "high quality" Chinese made food!

I have three cats. In the past month or so I notice my small female cat has been vomiting. It started here and there. I thought she had a hair ball, I noticed her eating the plants. So I put a spider plant down for her to nibble on to help her pass whatever was in her belly. The vomiting began to happen more than once a day. Yesterday I looked around with more detail and I noticed little dried vomit all over the place. One spot looked projectile. In the last day or so she must have thrown up 10 times. It looks just like the dry food I give. I feel horrible. My other cats do not have that reaction. I am so glad I have seen these posts with similar complaints. This food is terrible and so expensive for a product that is obviously too strong for a lot of animals. They need to do more work on their product and pet stores should seriously reconsider why they are carrying their food. Thank you to those that posted.

My 7 yr old pug Jack has been a happy and incredibly healthy dog UNTIL I switched him to this horrendous food. I started BB about 8 months ago. 2 months later he had a seizure... One of the WORST things to experience. We found him passed out in his own vomit. We picked him up and he just fell over... Like he was dead. He then lost control of his bladder. We rushed him to the emergency vet. The whole way there my husband was holding him and trying to keep him awake.

We have been feeding our two dogs BB since beginning of Sept 2014 and they were doing great. But the last bag that we bought in Nov/Dec, the dogs started getting sick. They both started throwing up yellow/orange liquid. One of the dogs even developed bloody diarrhea. During meal times, they would appear to be hungry but refused to touch the BB kibbles. We decided to not give them BB kibbles for a day and fed them boiled chicken and they did better for that day but as soon as we went back to the kibbles the symptoms came back. That's when we really started looking it up online and found hundreds of other people going through the same thing with the recent bags of BB. And after more digging there are articles out saying that they're not really 'Made in the USA', they may have ingredients from other countries. As a consumer that spends more to get higher quality food, I don't appreciate being lied to about what I'm getting.

Against my better judgement I allowed my beloved Aussie of 12 years to eat food by Blue Buffalo. Within 48 hours she had collapsed with frank blood diarrhea followed by severe melena. Her liver failed and she had to be euthanized. She had been eating Purina all her life with never a gastrointestinal issue and was dead less than 3 days after starting to eat Blue Buffalo. When I discovered that the ingredients came from suspicious sources, I blamed myself for feeding my dog this poison. When that evil salesperson looked me in the eye and claimed that their food was "perfect" and "better" and I was slowly killing my dog, I hope that she knows there is a special place in hell for her and her company.

We have 3 dogs - 2 Mini Schnauzers and one Border Terrier mix. We switched them all to Blue Buffalo about 2 years ago. Soon after opening the most recent bag of Blue Buffalo Freedom, one of our Mini Schnauzers got horribly sick, with vomiting, diarrhea and incontinence. We took her to the vet who first diagnosed a UTI as the urinalysis showed bacteria present. But she continued with the intestinal symptoms, is now in the hospital with pancreatitis. When I told the vet what her diet has been, she recommended that I check online for possible recall. Instead, I found this site & was stunned to read so many dogs suffering with similar problems after eating Blue Buffalo. I cannot believe they haven't recalled this yet! My vet bills already exceed $4,000 and possibly because of this food!

We switched to Blue Buffalo over 1 1/2 years ago and our Cockapoo female was fine on chicken and lamb. We also fed her the salmon dry dog food as well. She liked them all but since she has been on her 2nd bag of salmon we noted blood in her urine. The vet took a sample and put her on antibiotics and informed us our dog has crystals in her urine. We were advised to change brand of dog food. This is the end for using Blue Buffalo dry dog food! Owners beware.

I switched to Buffalo Blue Brand because I thought it would be better for my 3-year old HEALTHY cat. Not even a week later she started showing signs of hiding in the house to the point I couldn't find her, I had to search which was never a problem with Marley. The second I walked into the house she was greeting me, throwing up, not eating or drinking. Before I knew it I had her at two vet offices who told me she would be ok, thought it was some intestine disease and gave her some prescriptions for us to take home.

My 7 yr old miniature dachshund was just very sick over the weekend vomiting and diarrhea. After taking her to the vet and every test came back ok, they said maybe it was something she ate. I am very careful to only feed my dog her regular food which has been BB chicken and rice for small breeds for like the last 3 yrs and dehydrated chicken breast that I make myself and that's it. The vet gave me some ID food for sensitive stomach and upon looking online to see if BB makes a food for sensitive stomach, I come across this website and was floored by all the reviews about BB!

We got our chocolate lab puppy at 7 weeks old and Blue Buffalo Puppy food was recommended as a great brand. After feeding our little guy this for two months, he was still having horrible diarrhea, eventually containing blood in it, thus leading us to take an emergency trip to our vet. When asked what we were feeding him and upon revealing it was BB, our vet mentioned that she had seen many puppies who had been getting sick from the BB brand. She recommended immediately switching brands (suggesting the Science Diet). Upon doing so, we quickly noticed that this solved the diarrhea problem. However, yesterday we were running low on his Science Diet Food and Petsmart was already closed, so we decided to mix in a little of our leftover BB to give him the right serving amount (we put about a half of a cup of BB in with his other food).

I began feeding my 10-year-old orange tabby Blue Buffalo about 6 months ago. I have noticed that he has been getting UTIs frequently since I put him on this brand. I never thought his food could have been the cause of his monthly UTIs considering I spend so much for this food! I just happen to be doing some research on why or what is causing my feline's "poo-poo" to smell soooo bad and came across all these issues pet owners are having with this food. I'm wondering if this could be the cause of my little guy's issues as well???? Either way, I will be returning this food.

I want to be fair with my complaint but back in December 2014 my Yorkie was on The Blue Buffalo due to I had changed his food about 6 months earlier because of allergies, and all of a sudden just started throwing up and diarrhea. He just continued to get worse. Took to the vet and he ask what kind of food I had him on and he said can't say for sure but lots of dogs had come in with the same the thing that was on the Blue Buffalo. If there is something wrong with the food and you know this, you should let the consumer know. I trusted you enough to try your food. It would be better to come clean now before helpless animals have to die! Now my baby has a liver problem maybe because of your food. I'm wondering if there are others out there with the same complaint.

I noticed the canned that I opened was not as full as usual and the food looked a little lighter and dry somewhat. I feed my dogs and they had diarrhea immediately after eating it. I thought it was one bad can. However, I went on to feed from other cans. It looked normal; some cans a little drier than others. My dogs still have diarrhea off and on. I decided to take the remaining cans back to PetSmart for a refund and change their food.

I have two cats who were on Hills Science diet but switched to Blue W. because it was high in protein & supposed to be healthier for their coats. The first week was okay, by the second week I noticed one of my cats with extremely loose bowels, which is rare for her, going to change immediately!

For almost 4 years my dog has been on blue buffalo grain free. Off and on throughout the years he has random spells of vomiting. After stomach xrays it is said he has acid reflux. Pepsid helped for a while until the beginning of this year. Couldn't keep a meal down. Yet he had lots of energy and wasn't lethargic. Normal self except couldn't keep food down. Back to the vet we go. More xrays and blood work. Still thickening of the stomach and everything else looks great. Blood work is great. So Vet thinks it is his valve in his throat that opens and his food comes back up. Started him on medication for that. Been 2 days on it and while it won't show improvement really yet he still has vomited what he has eaten. Including water.

I have been feeding my two Australian Shepherds Blue Buffalo since the day I brought them home. They are now two years old. I have notices a lot of diarrhea and also blood in their (or one of theirs) stools on several different occasions. At first I thought like most people would that they must have gotten into something but I have nothing down low for them to get into and I thoroughly checked my garage where their beds are and found nothing out of the ordinary. I do not give them people food so that ruled that out.

We have a 4-year old Pomeranian (Kobe) that has been on a diet of NuTru for years until I had the bright idea of trying Blue Buffalo after reading the label and thinking it sounded like a very healthy dog food. We are stationed in the UK and our BX started carrying BB recently. We transitioned him (tried) with a mix of NuTru/BB but he only picked out the new BB and seemed to love it. We went on a trip about a week or so later and sent Kobe to the kennel. We came home and the kennel said he was having bad diarrhea which was unlike Kobe, so they took him off the food and fed him their brand and he was fine.

I changed my dog food because I thought it was best quality for her. After 3 weeks she had bloody diarrhea and her face got swollen and was bleeding :( really lethargic and she lost tons of weight. She couldn’t even stand, she had chronic diarrhea. She would poop on her kennel and around the house like 7 times a day. I read the comments and felt really guilty. I bought bill-jac again and the diarrhea stop after a day. However, the face still really swollen and bleeds. Please, if you love your dog give her something else not this junk! It almost kill my baby. She is a pug, 2 years old, no problems at all before that junk food! The food I was giving her was wet food.

I have been feeding Blue Buffalo Wilderness mixed with a little of BBQ wet food to my poodle for years. He is a good eater and very rarely has any digestive problems. In the last several months, he has been having loose mucus stools and looks lethargic. I noticed this with specific cans of wet food. I wonder if I can take it back to PetSmart. I am very disappointed and concerned. Will need to find alternatives.

My brother's dog is a black Lab about 1 1/2 years old, he has been feeding him Blue since he was a puppy and his stools have never been normal. They have always been soft or runny for about most of this past year. The dog has been not eating his food as much and has had a rash on his belly and a red bum on and off and my brother thought rash may have been a fluke. The vet gave him meds and it got better, so about a few months ago he switched him to Blue Wilderness because he began to not eat any meals and same thing, soft stools or runny and now his rash is getting worse and not going away - so back to the vet.

I have two Newfies, just under a year old. I have been trying to find them a dog food they actually like. I recently switched them to Blue Wilderness for large breed puppies. We are to the end of our first bag. One dog has recently been gagging and throwing up small amounts routinely and the other one only eats half the time and just recently started stooling in the house. He hasn't done this since he was little. Thanks to reading these posts, we are now done with Blue Wilderness before things get any worse. And like my daughter wants to know.... What are those little black balls in the food anyway??? Will let you know how things go after the food change.

I got my Shih Tzu in Sept. She was 12 weeks old, and she was on a high quality puppy food that isn't available where I live. So in my search to find her a compatible food I got blue buffalo puppy dry dog food. Since she was brand new to me I wasn't sure if the bloody stools were from a switch in food, a switch in home, or the loss of her family so quickly. So we waited for a couple of weeks and when it was time to take her back for her shots the vet took a sample for testing and couldn't find anything. A few weeks later it got worse, not satisfied with the vet I took her to another vet with an entire sample. Again she was tested and nothing was found. The vet put her on a treatment for coccacidia, which helped slightly and told us to try switching from puppy food to the sensitive formula. That hasn't helped.

Let me start with saying, I NEVER change my dog's food unless it's going from Puppy to Adult within the same brand. I'd never had dogs have an actual issue with any dog food before, until I got my new rescue back in February 2014. Milo, who's a lab/coonhound mix. We got him and he had been on the streets for a while, and was severely underweight. When we got him he was about 63 lbs and needed to be around 85, and top out at 100 by the end of the year for a healthy weight. We took him to the vet, as per my Rescue Shelter ordered, and he had the obvious issues of not eating healthy at all and so he had loose stool and stomach upset. Not a big deal.

I adopted a dog several years ago from a shelter. I have been feeding him only Blue Buffalo. Several months ago he developed chronic diarrhea and had a continually rumbling stomach & gas. After trips to the vet, medicines that didn't completely solve the problem, and a bland diet that would work only until he got his regular food again, 2 weeks ago I changed his food and threw away all of the BB (I am serving Darwin now). He has had no more problems. I doubt if the new food is a miracle, I think BB was making him sick.

WARNING: My dog recently became ill after eating Blue Buffalo Dog Food. She is a 8-year-old Standard Poodle. She has been on Blue for a year without incident. On December 26th, I purchased a new bag of Blue Buffalo. She became ill, started throwing up, panting heavily (over 90 times per minute). A trip to the Emergency ER showed a dog is distress. They gave her something to calm her down but it didn't work. Blood work came back negative. X-Rays showed an inflamed digestive system. Stool samples came back negative for worms, parasites. We immediately took her off of everything. We are gradually introducing chicken. I still have the bags of food and want to get them tested. Can anyone recommend some place I can send? The dog did NOT digest anything except Blue Buffalo during this time. I am concerned that the food is tainted. I have filed a complaint with Blue Buffalo but have not heard back from them.

We had our year old German Shepherd on Blue Buffalo grain free for 6 months. She seemed fine at first, liked the food and her coat looked great. Then her breath got unbearable, it was worse than anything we had dealt with. She is young, healthy, great teeth so no mouth related issues. Then last week, she was so sick, couldn't keep anything down, not even a lick of water. We brought her to our vet, they did X-Rays that showed her intestines so swollen, they sent us to the emergency vet because they thought she had something blocking her intestine. The emergency vet did an ultrasound to plan for the surgery. They found in fact she had not swallowed anything but that she was so swollen with gas that she had an infection. $1200 later it was suggested we take her off BB right away, her breath is already better, and we are slowly introducing her to a new kibble!

We lost our It. greyhound Carmella July 2014, she was 16 years. She died of old age and complications. She was a rescue and much loved. In August we adopted another little It. greyhound rescue, Tara. Age 5. Third week into October we changed her food over to Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula. Things started out okay but went downhill. Thinking she was being picky and just not eating, we tried adding broth to her food. That seemed to help but matters still went downhill. Tara had bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. I changed her over to a boiled hamburger and rice diet. I called the vet and Tara was given Cerenia for the vomiting.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted their animals systems while eating Blue Buffalo. I only came online to see if the food might have been recalled or something. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat all with similar symptoms as the others who have posted. I have been feeding my animals this food for about the last 3 years with no problems. Last month I purchased new bags for both the cat and dogs. The cat will be going to the vet tonight because she is lost a drastic amount of weight and is crying when going to the litter box. Last night she also started vomiting. Three of my dogs have diarrhea and vomiting and the other is vomiting and scratching her skin constantly. No more Blue for our household.

My 16-year old dog was diagnosed with kidney failure and died two days later. The more I thought about it I started investigating Blue Buffalo dog food. Its main ingredient is Chicken and one post said that they source their chicken from China. I do not know if this is true as I am still investigating but if it is true I know now what caused her kidney failure. Emily was eating Blue Buffalo for years but this last batch she just wouldn't eat and I'm not sure if it was because she knew it was bad or because of the kidney issue. I should have listened to her.

I had purchased Blue Buffalo dog food adult for my two boxers, about 2 months ago (November of 2014). After about a month my 3-year old female became incontinent. She would leak urine after her walk for about 1/2 hour. After 2 urine tests and an ultrasound my vet suggested Proin, she has been on it for 3 weeks and 90% effective. She has also been vomiting and urinating in the house prior to Proin. My male age 10 has always been very healthy and blood work done every 6 to 8 months. Before Christmas he started urinating while sleeping and drinking bowls of water. Had urine test, his protein was high also Crystals in the sample, he is now on antibiotics. He has also been lethargic, which he never was.

I personally have done enough research on this subject that I do NOT trust USA foods for this very reason! I am dog sitting 2 beautiful Rottweilers while their father is away for 10 months in the Navy. Izzie was 6 years old and stopped eating her food, throwing up and loose stool as well. I took her to the vet and she had kidney failure. We tried IVs and boiled chicken. My vet thought flushing her system may help, nothing did. She passed away at 6 years old from Kidney failure. Her food was Blue B as well as all her treats (chicken-Orange bag). One week before Thanksgiving we had to let her go. Her companion survived because he was 80 lbs heavier than her. He had loose stool also and didn't really like eating this last bag of food. I switched to a Canadian Company that I trust with my animals. Their father believes in the USA that's why he's in the Navy and he trusted this company that they were honest and actually making good dog food. BB has been accused of getting parts of their ingredients from China. What is WRONG with these companies?! You're killing our babies!

We had our dogs on this food for about a year. Everything was fine and all of a sudden they both got very sick with diarrhea and vomiting. The vet gave meds and told us to give them a chicken & rice diet. They started to get better in which the vet had us slowly add the kibble back in with the chicken & rice. We went through this several times buts the dogs still got sick as we added the food back in. Finally we took them off. At the time they were starting to get sick, we were also giving them treats from Canyon Creek sold at PetSmart which were recalled and totally taken off the shelves for good and never came back. The reviews on both Blue Buffalo and these treats are horrific. Dogs becoming very sick and some even dying.

After years of buying cheaper dog food I figured hey why not try a more expensive dog food for my pup. I asked around and started reading packages. I was told about blue buffalo and liked the nutritional benefits of blue buffalo. I slowly introduced her to the new food and now the bowl is always empty, her coat is shiny and thick, and her weight is better. Lots of different flavors and she loves the treats. It is pricey but she is a part of the family. We will never switch and I tell everyone that I love the brand.

I decided to change my dogs diet to Blue Buffalo about 3 weeks ago as I do not want to feed them the same food from the same company just in case it is later found out that a particular food has a problem with it. About a week before Christmas I started giving both my schnauzer mix dogs half blue buffalo and half their regular food. On December 27, we woke up to a huge mess. One of my dogs had thrown-up many times as well as defecated in many areas of the house.

I recently lost my 14 yr old cocker spaniel who was allergic to everything. I'd been feeding him and my 12 yr old Schipperke a custom diet because of his allergies. When he passed I slowly introduced my Schipp (who has an iron stomach and no allergies) to BB senior. I have fed BB in the past and they always hated the little black balls, but I forgot about that until I opened the bag. My schipp developed loose stool and vomited in the middle of the night shortly after I changed her food. This dog has thrown up maybe three times in 12 years. No more BB ever!!

I have a 1 year old white Siberian Husky with a sensitive stomach. Like other people, I was talked into this food at Petsmart by the Blue Buffalo Salesperson. Huge difference from the first bag to the second. The first bag, she had no problem with. This last bag is horrible, hardly any big pieces and all little black specks that she won't eat. She had pretty much stopped eating, had diarrhea, itching and just wasn't right. Thank God my daughter in law has dogs and looked it up. We found out they are now making it in China. No way it can be the same and it made her sick for weeks. We switched to a new food made in America and she ate it all right away. I think they should HAVE to let people know when they change food like that! I will never buy this food again and will tell everyone I know not to buy it.

My ten-year-old lab has been eating Blue Buffalo dog food for most of his life. At the time I discovered he had food allergies, I was relieved to discover BB food that contained none of the ingredients he was allergic to. I was so satisfied, I recommended it to several people looking for a good food for their dog. Then, yesterday I read several of the reviews on this site while trying to find a Blue Buffalo dog treat. What several of these reviews have described is exactly what my dog has been experiencing for the past few weeks. Once a day, he will throw up a small amount of yellowish bile that looks as though he has eaten a raw egg. As I continued reading, I became convinced that the BB food (lamb and brown rice) was the culprit. Most dismaying was reading the review that mentioned that BB food is now made in China. I didn't need to read anything else. I'm done. It may not be important to Blue Buffalo to lose one customer, but I will NOT give this food to my dog any longer. He is changing dog food immediately.

When I adopted my Chihuahua mix the rescue group recommended Blue Buffalo. Ever since I brought her home I fed her BB puppy wet food along with dry food. She always seemed to have soft stools but nothing too major. She would have random bouts of diarrhea but I thought it was just something she got into etc. Then last month I bought her a bag of the dry "basics". She did not want to eat it and would turn her nose up to it. Then she started having severe bloody diarrhea. Lots of tests at the vet including checking for parasites, worms, etc. - everything was normal. They put her on a prescription diet (I/D), a probiotic and an antibiotic. She recovered quickly.

I rescued a Maine Coon cat the fall of 2011. He was insatiable when it came to food and after about a year and a half he was on the chubby side at 22 lbs. I switched to a Purina high-protein food, which seemed to keep him full and he got down to a healthy 18 lbs. My husband has had our dog on Blue Buffalo chicken and rice for years and we had always heard it was a high quality, natural ingredient food, and I looked in a high protein food for cats. I switched my cat from Purina to Blue Wilderness chicken formula dry food and he seemed to like it. After about six months, I noticed after picking him up (he is long-haired so I couldn't see it right away) he was lighter. I thought it was because we had introduced a kitten to the house and he was running around playing with the little guy more frequently.

Our collie has been scratching his face all up on the sides of his nose and all around his eyes. We switched from Nutro to Blue Buffalo thinking it was a better food being all the ingredients are supposedly from the United States. He first scratched the left side of his face and everything we tried wouldn't clear it up so we took him to the vet. After being on antibiotics the left side cleared up. A week later he scratched the right side of his face all up and again we had to take him back to the vet being we couldn't clear it up. We were also worried he would scratch his eye. The vet said there are no bacteria in the wounds and took a biopsy but said this could be attributed to his food. He's been on Blue Buffalo for about 2 months.

My husband and I take care of our son's 5 yr old Yellow Lab on a 2 month rotating basis. A year ago, our son changed brands and selected Blue Buffalo Wilderness. 'Harvey' has been eating this brand with no issues until now. Nov 9, my son opened a bag of Rocky Mountain Red Meat flavor, and by Nov 23rd, Harvey was throwing up and salivating profusely. He ate only a small portion of the food for dinner. We gave him chicken broth, and the salivating stopped. Each day, he ate less and less of the food.

My dogs got diarrhea from this food. We have a rescue and wasted a lot of money on bad dog food we thought was going to be good. We switched to another brand. We will not recommend this brand. We survive on donations and to lose the amount of money on dog food was inconsolable.

Our two dogs have been eating chicken and rice BB for 2+ years. Sunday morning I opened a brand new bag to feed them. Within 2 hours one dog reacted intensely with massive hives, swollen throat and snout. If I hadn't been here and able to rush her to animal emergency hospital she would have died. Intestinal issues have followed. Second dog developed hives a day later. Both are on 3 medications to try to overcome this issue. I have contacted blue buffalo but have received no response. We have been to the vet 4 times this week and we aren't out of the woods yet. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS FOOD OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. SO what are you going to do about this BLUE BUFFALO???

We were feeding our St. Bernard Blue Buffalo from the time we got him at 3 months old and he always had bad diarrhea. I tried switching to different types of Blue Buffalo and nothing changed. We also had a hard time getting him to eat at all. We went through this for over a year and when I finally switched to a different brand he has not been having diarrhea and he eats his food. No problem.

I have two cats, one who is 15 years old, the other who is 6 years old. On Sunday, Dec 21, I bought a bag of your Blue Buffalo Freedom Indoor Chicken Dry Cat food for my two cats. I fed a small amount - about an 1/8 of a cup to my older cat on Monday, trying to slowly incorporate it into her diet - that same day she threw up twice and by Tuesday she had horrible diarrhea for FIVE days and stopped eating and drinking. Because she has early kidney disease, I took her to the vet worried that it was something to do with her kidneys, and also worried she was going to get dehydrated and further damage her kidneys. We did complete blood work, all which came back normal. I chalked the whole episode up to her being old, but I was still a little wary of the Freedom cat food, since that was the only change in her diet.

2 days in a row now after opening a new bag of Blue Buffalo weight management cat food. My male 7-year-old Siamese cat has thrown up 6 times - twice yesterday and 4 times today. I Googled problems for the cat food and all of these recent comments appear. I will get him off it immediately.

We started feeding our 8-year-old Lab mix Blue Buffalo wilderness dog food, and within 3 weeks she became very listless, and not her usual lively self. She then started to lose her appetite, and started vomiting regularly. We took her to the Vet, and they ran all kinds of tests, and gave her intravenous liquids because she was so dehydrated. The tests indicated that she had liver failure, an enlarged kidney, and pancreatitis. We brought her home, and she just stopped eating altogether, and would not get up. Within 3 days we had to put her down to relieve her obvious suffering. After some checking I feel that this dog food may have been connected to her rapid decline.

I tried this food for my pugs a couple of years ago. My dogs did not respond well. It frightened me to come out and see all those little dark beads on the ground. I don't know how to tell anymore if I'm feeding my kids is any good or not. I guess anybody with enough money can sell a brand. The food prices have gone crazy, it's all about the buck. Sick dogs make for higher vet bills. Thank you to everybody who took the time to let others know. This is the only way we find out some of what's out there killing pets.

I have 5-month goldendoodle, and due to some very strong suggestions to feed him Blue Buffalo from friends, I decided to switch at 3 months. Shortly after the switch I noticed his stools were getting softer by the day. He was in the animal hospital for about a week and on heavy duty antibiotics due to pneumonia and coccidia so I thought it was just a side effect to the antibiotics. After I bought the second bag of large breed puppy chicken and rice, he started getting watery, mucous like stool. He would cry all night to continue to go outside to have what looked like water come out of him. Took him to the vet and said everything seemed fine he was perfectly healthy. So I bought a different bag of food just to see if it would have a difference. After 3 days he was regular and sleeping through the night. I tried Blue Buffalo one more time thinking maybe it was just a fluke. Two days later, again, with watery, mucous like stool. I threw the rest of the bag out and have not looked back since. He is happy, sleeping through the night, and no longer having any issues with his stomach.

My 1 year old chocolate lab has been very itchy after he eats so I took him in for a checkup. My vet suggested changing his food. I've always fed him Nutro Naturals Lamb and Rice Formula Large Breed. So, I decided to switch to Blue Buffalo Basics Turkey and Sweet Potato. Got home, scooped his dinner directly out of the bag and waited for him to finish. No itching afterwards, which was great, so I dumped the rest of the bag into the food container where I store his food. As I neared the end of the bag, out came a huge ball of mold with bugs crawling all through it. Disgusted! Do not buy Blue Buffalo!

My very active 9-month-old pup suddenly became lethargic and would not eat or drink much for the last few days. We were switching him over to B. Buffalo from his science diet puppy food. I started thinking this morning that his new food was making him sick, and started to do some research and came upon this site. After reading these reviews I am furious and taking him off of Blue Buffalo immediately. I hope and pray no harm has come to him. Why is nothing being done about this food???

These other complaints are telling the same story as mine. My 2 yr old lab has been on BB since he was 8 weeks old. Starting November 2014, he started having loose stool. We figured he probably ate something while playing outside. Then he started waking us up at night to go potty which has NEVER happened before, he has been able to hold his potty all night since he was 12 weeks old. I noticed that he was having loose stool and squat-walking while pottying. It grew worse to where he was having projectile diarrhea.

I have 3 yorkies and they are all very healthy as I am a strict dog mom. I fed my girls Royal Canin since they came home to me at 10 weeks of age. Then last year while in PetSmart I had a BB sales person talk me into trying the best food on the market, I was hesitant because I already had a food that worked. But he tells me, “Don't you want to feed your fur-children the best you can?” Of course I do, I wouldn't have 3 dogs if I didn't want the best. So the food I chose was the BB wilderness evolutionary grain free for small breeds, all was good until I bought them a new bag of same food as I was getting low. I opened the bag on Dec 15, 2014 they looked at their good bowl and walked away, hmmm that's odd. Later that day they ate and then next morning all 3 were sick, vomiting and diarrhea. They continued getting sick I pulled the food away and started the 24 hour fast, they were extremely sick for 2 days and I was forced to give them water and Pedialyte by syringe every hour.

My 4 year old Shih tzu, Lilly, died Oct 27, 2014. She was slow, not at all active as she had been Saturday a day before. I have several dogs from 13, 10, 7 and 4 years old. Someone had diarrhea so I thought getting BB would be great - they sure advertise it great and it reads great on the bags. I was using kibble and bits, and treats were pupperoni or BACON. They both have bad reviews as bad so I thought that's it - but I've used them all for years. I'd go with several posts here that all the dogs liked BB for a few days then they didn't want to eat it. I thought the great taste got old quick, it wasn't their good greasy food so added an egg to the bowls with BB. They scarfed it up.

My 13-year-old indoor cat had been ill lately and lost a considerable amount of weight. After a few trips to the vet she was slowly on her way to feeling better. I wanted to make sure that she was getting a high quality, nourishing food to help her gain weight quicker. In the past, I've tried gradually switching her over to other premium brands, but she would begin vomiting soon after. So back to the grocery store stuff. At this point I was just desperate so I bought a bunch of different, supposedly better, brands of wet food for her to try. One of which was the BB Wilderness chicken. I mixed a little bit in her usual food and she ate it without any issues.

After eating the recent bag of Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, which has changed in formula, the dog began vomiting yellow bile 3 times a day. The vomiting never slowed down, eventually turned into a white foam and dry heaving over time. The dog was a healthy, happy, high-energy 9-year-old bull terrier until the new food entered his system. The vet didn't see anything wrong with the dog since all test results looked normal. All nausea and vomiting ceased only after completely removing the Blue Buffalo from his diet.

Blue Wilderness Puppy Food - I am very disappointed in this brand. My husband and I have been feeding our two labs this food since they were pups. At first they were fine, growing and doing well. The past month has been a nightmare though. They started getting the runs, but we thought it was just a bug since they were eating fine, still had high energy, and had all their shots and vaccines. The runs varied in extremes, sometimes it would almost be solid and other times it was liquid. This lasted about a week before I saw blood in the stool and immediately took them to the vet. Stool sample and physical exam showed they were fine, and their stool hardened up on the bland food diet the vet prescribed. We gradually switched them back to the dry food, and today one of my poor babies pooped in the house (she has never done that). Liquid poop again. So now we are switching. I have tried to research to see if there is a recall, but so far there isn't. Reading all the reviews has me convinced this is not a fluke or random stomach bug.

I just adopted a rescue dog from a foster home. The dog has been vetted, spayed and had its shots. I purchased a bag of Blue for puppies. This dog has had nonstop pudding type poop. I am now convinced it is this food. I should have know better and used Royal Canin. The dog is in the process of being housebroken and it can be a real mess. I have to get up every two hours to let her out. If I miss she will go on the puppy pad. I am very distressed after reading other reviews. I am going to give her canned pumpkin tomorrow and get her a new brand of food. This stuff should be off the market. Keep complaining if you have a problem. I have had enough pets to know that this has to be the food.

My three year old Yorkie is lucky to be alive after a neighbor gave her a treat from your company. We spent the day yesterday wondering if she was going to die. She was very lethargic, had severe vomiting, diarrhea and seizures. One treat almost killed my baby girl. This company needs to admit something is wrong with their food and treats. My neighbor felt bad about giving her this and today his dog is sick too.

I have two cats. One of them I have been feeding Blue Buffalo to since he is 6 weeks old. He is now 4. He favors dry food and has never had wet food. He is 5 pounds heavier than his litter mates. I know because I am in touch with people who adopted them. Thinking I was giving my furry family members only the best, I got a kitten a year ago and also put her on Blue Buffalo. She favors wet food. Blue Buffalo is so incredibly expensive, but I thought this is the best out there and it is worth it! I have had nothing but problems with the little female on the Blue wet food. She vomits constantly and recently started peeing. Not in a territorial spraying way. But she would pee in the bed while sleeping. I would always attribute her problems to her feral ways thinking it was just taking her some time to adjust to the indoors. I feel so incredibly bad now reading these reviews and I am just horrified that it never once crossed my mind that this top of the line amazing brand was the culprit behind my poor kitten's issues. Shame on Blue Buffalo. Time to switch to a MUCH safer brand and save major money in the process.

I "use" to be a huge fan of Blue dog food. My dog has been eating it now for years. Recently she has had the worst diarrhea and GI problems and it's coming from this food. She has been wanting to go potty constantly and making mistakes in the house (which she NEVER does). So far my case is mild compared to what others have experienced but I have definitely taken her off the food and taking her to vet today. Something is up with this food, please take your fur babies off of it.

Our indoor cat that never had an issue is presently with the Vet. So far he hasn't been able to determine what the issue is. When we mentioned the food the cat was on he mentioned that he has seen some issues but nothing this bad. The cat stopped eating 2 days ago and couldn't keep food down. Today she took in some water and kept it down. The symptoms are very similar with several of the posters here. This is the second bag of food for the cat and there was a change in look of the food between the 2 bags. We thought we were doing something great for the cat with this food vs. the plastic bucket of food from the big box store. The food has been tossed. Hopefully the cat will be able to recover.

I've been feeding Stormy, English Shepherd (2 yrs) mixed with Collie Blue Buffalo for a while now. About 4 days ago I bought Salmon kind. She started having loose stool, and goes outside to eat grass like crazy. Her vomit is yellow. Today it's a lot of it, 2 handfuls full. I am bringing her to the vet tomorrow. Please help. Thanks.

Blue Buffalo was the first food I fed my cat and it immediately made him sick - throwing up and watery stool. My vet said he was near kidney failure and asked what I was feeding him. When I told her, she said Blue Buffalo has WAY too much Vitamin D and that she has has numerous pets brought in who are on Blue Buffalo with the same symptoms, some who have even had to be put down. This mega-corporation is charging people for a quality product when they are selling dangerous GARBAGE! Those "life bits" actually contain cornhusks which can also cause allergies in pets and they are no more "healthy" than the regular kibbles, it’s just a marketing scheme as is their whole approach. They even have a lawsuit against them by Purina and their argument is that it's just smear campaign by a jealous conglomerate.

I purchased the BB dry cat food for my two cats. They were both previously on Hills Science diet dry cat food and had no GI issues. I switched to blue buffalo because it was cheaper and supposedly a good product. I still had some of my other cat food left so I transitioned my youngest cat to the BB food first. She didn't like the food, but I figured that she just needed some time to get used to it...Then she developed hard dry poop in a couple days even though she was continuing to drink plenty of water. My other cat was switched to the BB food three days ago. He immediately developed diarrhea. My cats have never had GI issues like this. I am so thankful to have discovered this site and read through your stories before my cats became sicker. I'm switching back to Hills today. Blue Buffalo really needs to take some responsibility for their product...Too many poor animals are getting sick.

I recently switched to Blue dog food for our dogs and after a week, we noticed 2 of them started to be less active. After 2 weeks, one of them became so inactive she wouldn't go up steps but we thought she maybe slipped because it was so icy here. Three weeks, she was whimpering. She was in so much pain we took her to the vet - thinking she possibly had a fracture only to find out no broken bones but her liver levels and blood counts were through the roof. They said to switch her food immediately as she may be allergic to something in it and put they her on meds to help with the liver. This week, our youngest dog is showing all the same symptoms and brought her to the vet also - they put her on meds also and again said to switch the food for all our dogs so we did. In a day on different food, they both are showing signs of improvement. We will never buy Blue dog food again. Very disappointing to buy food you are told is one of the best on the market only to spend $500 in a week on vet bills because it caused them to become so ill. I pray the damage this dog food has caused is not permanent.

I had been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo for a year or so then she started having bloody diarrhea so I tried other blue protein sources. Over the past few months she did not improve so I switched to Merrick and lo and behold she is fine now! Enclosed is also a picture of what my last bag of Blue Buffalo contained. Does not seem to be ANY quality control or accountability with the Blue Buffalo company. What's the deal Blue Buffalo? Nice advertising and marketing but no integrity.

I am very confused. We are a rescue group and Blue Buffalo donated cat food to us (indoor cat formula Dry). I have 4 of my foster cats that have been diagnosed with uti's- 3 of them struvite crystals. I hope it's not the food but how do you know? Is there someone to speak to at Blue Buffalo? Has anyone else had this problem?

I started feeding my kitten this food. My adult cat, a 5 yr old Bengal, loved it and would snitch it front the kitten's bowl. After 3 days, she began vomiting (sometimes w/ blood) and had diarrhea (sometimes with blood). She was perfectly healthy before eating this food. We are making an emergency trip to our vet today. This food obviously needs to be recalled and taken from the market. I am hoping our kitty did not eat enough to have been seriously damaged from Wilderness food.

I was an inch from giving my cat, Melon, away because I thought his persistent and uncontrollable diarrhea and urinary problems were insurmountable. This had been going on for six months. As it turns out, some neighbors three doors away, had been feeding him Buffalo Blue cat food. They moved away a week ago and the problem is rapidly clearing up.

Our 2 Shelties, ages 10 and 13, were eating Purina Pro Plan for most of their lives until I switched to Blue Buffalo. Worst decision I've ever made. When the diarrhea started, I contributed it to some rotisserie chicken, but the diarrhea only got worse. The food needs to be taken off the market. Hope our older Sheltie makes it.

I know for a fact that Blue Buffalo is the reason behind my dog's illness. My dog, Boe, is a 3.5 year old male lab. We have fed him Blue Buffalo since he was 8 weeks and have never had a problem. On November 18, 2014, we purchased a new bag from a local shop as we were running low. We finished up the last bag and then started him on the new bag around November 22/23. Our dog started vomiting November 25th. He also vomited November 26th and November 27th. He still had good energy but we switched him to a rice and turkey diet for 3 days to let him stomach settle. Boe got better and didn't throw up again. So we figured whatever his issue was had passed and started feeding him his Blue Buffalo again. A day later, on Monday morning, Boe threw up again. We rushed him to the vet. We weren't sure what caused it. We didn't think it was the food as Boe has been eating it for 3.5 years. So we got X-Rays, Pancreatic tests, Blood Tests, fecal tests - all came up clear.

Last year my dog got sick eating Blue Buffalo chicken & rice. My dog only ate this, no people food, no treats. When I complained their legal dept refused to allow customer service to talk with me. They say no proof that it was from their food even though all he ate. Complained to attorney general and their response is they object to what I said about them and their vet. Seems they spend more on their legal dept than the quality of their product.

We have been using Blue Buffalo with our small Pomeranian for about 1 year, and also with our new 5 month old Rottweiler. Up until late November 2014, everything seemed okay, until our Rottweiler puppy started vomiting and having diarrhea consistently over a couple of days. We took her to the vet and they ran tests and everything came back negative (no parasites) - nothing. We fasted her prior to taking her to the vet, and then began giving her a boiled chicken and rice diet. It took a few days for her to pass, but no diarrhea or vomiting. We just now started 12/6/2014, transitioning her back to Blue Buffalo, giving her a mix of the chicken/rice along with about a 1/2 cup of Blue Buffalo. She had diarrhea this morning!! So, now we know it is the food! Please DO NOT purchase Blue Buffalo! We are taking both of our dogs off of Blue Buffalo immediately! We will continue to feed them a chicken/rice diet until we can start transitioning to a new dog food. We will begin using Nutro as soon as possible. Royal Canin is a bit out of our budget range.

I started feeding my 5 year old, very healthy male cat Blue Buffalo dry and wet food five months ago. I saw all of the advertising and thought I was doing the right thing for him. Well, about three weeks ago, he started moaning when he went to the litter box. He stopped eating, refused to even drink water, and then went into hiding. We took him to the emergency vet. Five hours and $500 later, the vet shows us an x-ray of his bladder. His bladder was blocked because it was filled with struck the struvite crystals.

BB Healthy Start Divine Delights & Savory Sizzlers/Beef Sausages - My 6 yr. old Yorkie died last night. And after reading all these other complaints I believe it has a lot to do with your food. My little baby girl experienced a lot of the same: yellowish vomit then white foamy vomit; white foamy in her little mouth; statuesque - by just standing there - when I picked her up she couldn't even give me kisses! My precious little one has eaten the BB Divine Delights for about 2 years now - there didn't seem to be a problem until now. When I looked to see if there were any recalls I was directed here. There were times she would just sniff her food and walk away. We didn't understand what was going on as she seemed to like BB.

I started her on this food about two months ago. She is only 4 months old. She is on her second bag of the Blue Buffalo Living Healthy Kitten. Just two days ago she started have diarrhea really bad. She is containing herself to the litter box though. Could it be from the food? She did get into some dog food on Monday, but she still shouldn't be sick on Friday. It has to be the food. She is strictly an indoor cat.

Since this site won't let me reply, only write my own review, here goes. I use Blue food almost exclusively. I do cat rescue, have since I was a kid. Growing up with a nutritionist/nurse for a mom, we did primarily medical cases. Not just cats in casts or whatever. We actually did more with cats and even small dogs with either vomiting or diarrhea that standard treatment hadn't helped. There isn't a cooked or raw diet I haven't prepared at least once! The basics line is really good at dealing with protein sensitivities. I use it for that all the time because when you're talking about a shelter pet, if they can't eat SOMETHING that comes in a bag, forget them ever getting adopted!

I have a four year old Rottie mix and a 9 month old husky/Shepherd. I've been feeding them BB for 6 months. They have been eating less and less of this food for the past three months. The Rottie has lost weight and started having thick drool like he's never had before. Now the husky is lying around, less energy, she slinks like her stomach hurts. She just ate 1 1/2 hours ago. Both have had increasing bouts of gas and nasty diarrhea. She almost can't make it to the dog run. Also she has started mildly throwing up this week after she eats. Their poop is quickly growing fuzzy mold and it's very mucusy. Nothing else has changed, we haven't been anywhere, so I'm changing their food today. For $50/bag, I expect the best ingredients. This is totally unacceptable.

We have an 11-month-old Boxer/lab puppy. She has been given Fromm puppy food since we got her at 8 weeks. The Fromm dog food is hard to find so we decided we would switch her to Blue Buffalo since it seemed like the same quality and around the same price. The first day, she vomited 3 times that night. She's a pretty finicky eater as it is, so when she wouldn't eat as much we would add wet food or once in a while a raw egg to her food. She's vomited 5-6 times in the last 3-4 days which is not like her at all. She also had the worst farts and a few days we could hear her stomach in the next room with how much noise it was making from gas. She hasn't been lethargic or acting sick and her poop seemed to be the same consistency (she has always had pretty soft poop). We couldn't figure out what it was until coming on here and reading reviews. The only thing we have changed is the food we gave her. We are switching back to Fromm today!

I have been a BB dog food customer for years. They send a $10 rebate in an email and I find out this applies to only large dog food. Why send me the coupon and why discriminate small dogs.

I've been feeding my Jack Russell Terrier Blue Buffalo dog food for years and years because it is supposed to be the best. Three weeks ago I bought some of their new Lamb and Brown Rice dog food for my senior dog and my 1 year old Jack Russell's. Last Monday, my 16 year old starting throwing up, diarrhea and eventually massively bleeding from within. I took him to the ER on Saturday where he passed away. Now my other dog is experiencing the same symptoms and I am seeking treatment immediately. I've been told to stop feeding them this food immediately and from what I've read on this website, I'm not the only one. I lost my best friend and it was because I was "buying the best" for him. I'm hoping something comes out regarding this before too many more pets pass away. Just awful.

I switched my dog food due to allergies. He's a very active and happy dog and he's had one full bag of the BB and already showing signs of diarrhea and gas. He's been lethargic as well. Very concerned. Read reviews and worried! He's been through the initial phase from his current feed and mixing in little amounts of new and now on BB fully - he's not himself.

Thinking that Blue Buffalo was a high quality cat food I purchased it for my indoor cats. Having just adopted a healthy, loving 6 month old kitty from the local shelter I thought we were helping her out. She was in perfect health. The first week we had her she was in good health but a week later she had intractable diarrhea. Her stool came back negative for any issues. Her stools became liquid one week after bringing her home. When we took her to be spayed (thinking she was perhaps getting better) the vet said after they gave anesthesia the stool rolled out off her like water. She has actually lost weight during the couple weeks from shelter to home! I was horrified!

Picked up a very healthy happy Yorkie puppy about 5 weeks ago, after a week of slowly transitioning over to Blue Buffalo Freedom puppy food she became weak, lethargic and had what appeared to be seizures. After several trips to the vet no answers, symptoms were similar to liver shunt but after changing her food to all homemade and fresh she is a completely different full of energy puppy. No further symptoms occurred after stopping Blue Buffalo. Threw away the whole bag. Do your research, this food is junk!

Follow up to my May 2014 review - my dog died last night. Recap of May 2014: we switched to BB Wilderness food and within a week or two, both of our dogs became violently ill. One recovered, the other one developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Protein Losing Enteropathy. He had trouble processing certain proteins and they would leak out of his intestines and into/around his lungs and heart. It took about 2 months of steroids and hand cooked meals to get him back to "normal" but it was a gradual downward spiral until earlier this week when he just couldn't fight anymore.

I wanted to do something nice for my three cats, get them some awesome food no matter the price. I switched my cats on BB the last week of October. They all seem fine, but for over a week now, my much smaller, older female cat has been acting insane. She started off screaming bloody murder, and that's when I began to find the endless piles of awful diarrhea hidden around the house. The other two male cats seem fine as of now. They do endlessly beg in the kitchen more than normal, but I haven't caught any irregularities in bowel movements. My female Schiller is looking worse as the days go by. I had to move her to a dog crate with a litter box and some BB/water because the diarrhea was destroying my home. I came home from work today and found she tried to eat the BB but vomited inside the bowl, along with being covered in diarrhea. Her little butt is scary BEAT red. All my cats are healthy indoor cats with a spoiled great life. After reading these reviews, I am certain this food is contaminated.

Blue wilderness cat food made all three of my cats sick, vomiting and diarrhea. Very upset with this product. For how much it cost, not worth it.

This dog food made my dogs very sick, one almost died. $1500 vet bill - Some reviews. I've bought a bag of Blue Wilderness Puppy and some wet food, same Blue Buffalo like a month ago. My 7 month old puppy was fine for a couple of weeks and then started having diarrhea now and then. He is a bull terrier and chews things so I blamed that although I watch him like a hawk. Both out and inside the house is puppy proof. Finally he had persistent diarrhea with blood in it. He was sleeping all the time and had like asthma attacks breathing through his nose very fast as if gasping for air. We rushed him to the hospital where a vet told us that BB IS NOT a good food to have a dog on. Nothing was wrong with a dog, poop sample is fine, he got fluids, antibiotics just in case, and special vet food. He started eating the special food last night and still had 5 piles of diarrhea with blood this morning and refused to eat.

I have been feeding my labradoodle who will be 5 on May 17, 2015 for the last 4 years. I had tried multiple other foods and she would constantly vomit. After switching about 4 or 5 times the first year I tried the grain free duck recipe from Blue and she has not puked or had any problem since. I even was worried it was our water since we do live in a rural area and bought a bottle water dispenser but since changing was able to remove that from the house and have not had any additional problems. I will say though that if your dog does not get a lot of exercise (we live on 5 acres fenced) then the grain free is probably not a good idea because it is very high protein. My sister used the same food on her schipoo and he gained a few pounds pretty quick but he is a lap dog and is not very active.

Rebate coupon for $10 would not print out. They would not send the coupon or the rebate (after filling out the coupon) to a post office box. There is no such thing as any national dog food manufacturer that has not caused pet deaths. So it is time to move on and Blue Buffalo is no exception.
