Blue Buffalo Pet Foods Reviews

My seven year old pitbull is actually a very finicky eater. She does like the Blue Buffalo. My only complaint is I wish it was a little cheaper. But as the saying goes you get what you pay for.

My dog really loves this brand, I get 4 of the different choices that Blue Buffalo offers and he loves all of them. This brand has all of the benefits that are needed for my dog which I have check and I am very pleased with this product.

My dog a Lab mix, loves this food, even eating it twice a day for 8 years. Her lab results are perfect, her weight is well within normal ranges and there have been no negative side effects.

I use the one for small breed. My dogs use to have problems walking and no longer have problems since using Blue Buffalo pet food. They also had more pep. The lamb is getting hard to find lately. I can only find online.

I have been feeding Blue Buffalo Pet Foods for 3 years to a Doberman and a Boxer. Both dogs have sleek healthy coats and have had no health issues. I order through Chewy.com and the food comes when I need it.

Blue Buffalo Pet Foods is a very good all nature food for my dog. It's a little high in price but the vet to me this is the number 1 dog food. Thank you. I would try another food for my dog.

I purchased this food because it seemed to have fewer "gross" ingredients than any other I had seen. I know that some foods have things such as chicken feathers in them and I did not want my dogs eating that stuff!

Blue Buffalo is a little costly, but I like that she likes it and I feel better that she is getting food healthier for her. It's hard to find in my area so I usually buy in bulk when I find it.

My pup has had horrible allergies his entire life. He gets daily steroid pills, shots once a month, can't have not 1 flea and we have to monitor his diet very closely. A veterinarian told me to try Blue Buffalo and said it was the best on the market for fur babies like mine. This dog food is quite expensive, even for a 15 lb pup. After using it for a couple months, there was little to no change at all. For my dog, I personally don't think it is worth the price you pay for it.

We switched to the Blue Buffalo brand when our dogs got really sick and refused to eat their food. Within a week they both were looking better and seemed happier.

It is the only brand I can get my dogs to eat, daily, without getting bored with it. I love how healthy it has kept my dogs. I just wish it wasn't so expensive or there were coupons for it!

This is a really good dog food, it just has healthy ingredients in it. It is one of the best out there. If you are looking for a good dog food then you should try this one.

I have tried other dog foods but my dog has always preferred Blue Buffalo. When I purchased other brands he would sometimes leave the food in his dish for hours. Now every time I put Blue Buffalo in his dish he eats every bite right away, fast, and always seems to look for more. He seems to look forward to his food at every meal. The ingredients are healthier than many other brands. I do wish the price was a little more reasonable though!

Unfortunately, when you contact Blue Buffalo Pet Foods for an in depth analysis of their brands of food, they will not commit to answering your questions, and will instead, beat around the bush so to speak. I had initially contacted them regarding their foods out of concern - not only was I feeding their product to my dogs, but a friend of mine had a 10 year old cat that went into sudden renal failure, recovered, and then suddenly became hyperthyroid. I was very concerned, naturally, however, did not receive answers directly from the company. As such, I have switched brands of food and have certainly seen much better results.

We have used Blue Buffalo for our Doberman Pinscher and Chinese Shar-Pei since we got them as puppies. They have been very healthy and active. Their musculature and bone structures are excellent. We attribute these features to the fact that they are purebred, come from prize-winning families, and the great diet they obtain through eating only Blue Buffalo.

My two little shih tzus are on the grain-free food and they love it. My big dogs are on rice and chicken. I used to cook chicken and rice and add it to other brands. They will eat Blue Buffalo dry and love it.

The stores always charge at least $5 more when one makes in store purchase in contrast to online purchase. When you show price discrepancy to store they at times refuse to honor lower price.

My dog loves Blue and I love how is full of good ingredients and no grains. I think he's healthier and more active when he eats Blue. And I love how many different flavors there are.

The Blue Buffalo pet food is very good quality but with dogs that may not be as active as others, they quickly gained weight. So I now use a less calorie food to prevent weight gain.

Food seems good, but it makes both of my little dogs fart a lot. I buy the small adult dog food. Maybe I need to get a different kind.

I love feeding my dogs 5 star foods, and Blue Buffalo was on the top of that list. They liked the food (dry) but weren't too happy with the LifeSource bits, which it seemed they spit out. Also this particular flavor was hard to find. A while back Blue Buffalo got caught in a discrepancy about a specific canned food. I was disappointed about the dishonesty of this situation and hastily changed the dry food to Simply Nourish. It's 5 star and they like it. Just started sprinkling this food with TruDog Boost Me, and they absolutely love it.

Blue Buffalo's a healthy and great pet food choice! My pets love meal time. They've recently started selling in Publix as well, making it even easier to find.

Had to have a good quality kibble that contained a minimum fat content. Was given a prescription to purchase another brand only available at the vet's. Content was of maximum importance as our pet had a very bad case of pancreatitis and we almost lost her. Ended up substituting the "special food" for Blue Buffalo. After four years with this brand, she's ten and still going strong. No table scraps at all.

I had been feeding Purina ONE a fine food, Vet approved and would still use it but I switched to Blue Buffalo Small Breed Lamb & Rice based on ingredients. The dog loves it. Complete little wiggle dance while I fill her bowl. Her coat & skin are healthy (visibly more shiny). A Chiweenie (1/2 Chiwahwah, 1/2 Dachshund) are notoriously fickle but can be voracious eaters. She has never turned her nose up at it over the last 2-years. She is 6.5-years which is saying something. My only criticism is cost and why don't they sell it in larger bags than 15-lbs whereas they sell 38-lb/40-lb bags of their other BB types??? When you have more than one dog eating it, it gets outrageously expensive buying 15-lb increments.

Dogs like all the Blue Buffalo dog food and dry also. They have no problems after eating it and require no visits. We have tried other brands but they do not like what is in the food.

All my dogs have been eating this food for years they love it. Blue wilderness is the best kind in the can. My little dogs like them. They have all kinds of new flavors.

It has in the past helped with weight reduction. Our dogs seem to tolerate it and even like it. We've switched from a couple of their different brands, all was good!

I use this for my Toy Rat Terrier for weight control, she eats well and her weight is steady. My only concern is where they get their products from to make their kibble?

Blue Buffalo dog food is great for my six dogs. I have been feeding them this brand for 2 years. It provides all the nutritional value they need to be healthy. There are great flavors and my dogs are always excited to have their meal. Also, it isn't overpriced.

We originally tried several other well known brands of dog food for our new puppy. He came to us with a rash on his stomach and having a terrible time with itching and scratching. We took him to the vet and tried several things before deciding that it was an allergy that was bothering him. After trying "Blue" dog food, we were relieved to finally find a food that did not cause an allergic reaction for him. The big plus, of course, is that he also really likes it!

All of the ingredients were appealing and although it sounded like something we would like to feed our dog... she turned her nose up to it and wouldn't touch it!

No more upset stomach. Dog enjoys eating every kibble. Can use kibbles for rewards during teaching instead of calorie laden treats. Price is not out of line for the value received. Readily available at pet supply stores and online with free shipping which can be set on pet supply websites for shipping intervals - very handy.

Our Min. Schnauzer was not excited to eat the dry, sm. dog kibbles, but we insisted. After about a month he was vomiting and had loose stool.

I've been buying Blue Buffalo Blue Basics Limited Ingredient Grain free for two years for my french bulldog at $50 a case. My last four cases we found the cans of food were watered down and less food, you can shake a can and hear the water sloshing around. I sent Blue Buffalo an email with photos, they said, "Sorry for your experience and can we send you a bag of blue kibble." So if you want to buy a case of water for $50 with a little dog food in it buy Blue Buffalo Blue Basics Limited Ingredient Grain free.

My Smokey loves the Blue Buffalo dog food. He really won't eat anything other than his favorite Blue Buffalo wilderness dog food. It is a little on the expensive side but well worth the extra buck.

I try to feed my dog food that is high in meat content, but many stores that sell dog food, but are not specifically "pet stores" do not carry Blue Buffalo and if I have to drive too far to get it, it's not worth the additional price.

It's the only dog food that keeps weight on my dog. I have tried lots of other brands and she doesn't eat other foods near as well. That tells me she likes it better than all the others.

When we moved to Arizona, my dog's skin became very dry and itchy. Blue Buffalo Grain Free was recommended. We have been using it for 3 years now, and it made a huge difference.

My dog seems to really enjoy Blue Buffalo Pet Foods. He doesn't usually like treats and will eat the treats by this brand. We have just started to use this brand but so far so good.

I think the ingredients are all very healthy with extra nutrients. However, it is expensive! Fortunately, living in the city provides opportunities to find a variety of upscale dog foods. She is an older dog and came to me eating Blue Buffalo for small breeds.

Their product sickened all 3 of my dogs simultaneously. Violent vomiting and diarrhea. My Chihuahuas recovered, but my beloved 12 year old Golden Retriever began a downward spiral and died December 15 after never completely recovering from the initial bout of illness in October. I will NEVER buy this product again. I warn everyone I know against it.

My dogs seem to love the Blue Buffalo pet food. It's supposed to be healthier for my dogs, and that means a lot to me and my dogs. Plus I also bought the wet dog food to mix with it.

The Blue Buffalo pet food had ingredient problems, but the grain free did help Garth stop chewing on his feet. Am trying other grain free brands. More reliable on ingredients.

My dog is extremely important to me (and my cat), and I'm thrilled with all of the natural ingredients found in Blue Buffalo. I feed the Life Protection Formula, which is a bit expensive, but well worth the price. I also feed the Blue Buffalo Health Bars. My dog, Inara, a tri-color Corgi/Sheltie mix, loves the food and the treats!

Onynx was allergic to grain, he tolerated some dog food, but never completely symptoms free. The Blue Buffalo grain free did the trick. And even not grain was good.

Excellent food. Very nutritious. Keeps our dog energetic and with a healthy weight. It is also good for his teeth. We have a very happy dog. Would recommend Blue Buffalo Pet Foods over all other brands.

Blue Buffalo Pet Foods have high quality ingredients and little if any filler. There are lots of options as far as life stage, particular issues such as weight control, etc. and it's well worth the extra cost. Dogs eat it with enthusiasm and they have no food allergy issues.

The Blue Buffalo Pet Foods used to be great, but recently, the prices are going up, the bags are getting smaller, and the dog isn't as enthusiastic about it. I can do as well at half the price.

Blue Buffalo Pet Foods is healthy food with less fat than Bil-Jac which is also a great option, just not for overweight pups. They have good ingredients but I read labels every time I shop in case the ingredients change.

I have had dogs all my life and I fed them Pedigree dog food until the company sold and their ingredients changed. I shopped around and tried a few different foods until I came upon Blue. I checked the ingredients, spoke to the rep and I even researched on the computer. Even though it was pricey I gave it a try and haven't turned back since. I have 3 dogs and to find a food that they all like can be challenging. I buy the food for small breeds and the dogs just love it. It's easy to digest and they don't have watery stool that often. If all that I read is true I will keep on buying it since it's made right here in the USA.

My three animals been on this brand for at least 5 years, they are very healthy! They always have good checkups at my vet and they're very active and playful! I keep feeding them Blue Buffalo!

Blue Buffalo Pet Foods' made with the dogs' health in mind and the dogs enjoy all the different flavors. It is available at almost all the stores we shop and the prices are reasonable.

Makes our rottweiler's coat very shiny and he likes the flavor. Hard and canned food very easy to find in any local pet store and very reasonable in price.

My dogs loved the sample bag of Blue Buffalo pet food, but would not eat the food when I purchased a bag; I often wondered if it was different, or the purchased bag was old.

I started my dogs on this a couple of years ago along with some other natural products. They really liked the taste. It's a little more expensive than some dog foods but worth it to me to know they are getting good ingredients.

I am extremely happy with Blue Buffalo. In the past year we have gotten a dog with allergies and the limited ingredients dog food has been great! We have a 5 year old cat that is now on a diet because he weighed 30 lbs. We have put him on the weight management cat food and am happy to say he has lost 4 lbs. so far. We have tried many of the different brands and haven't been as satisfied as with Blue Buffalo.

I used it for years then my dog's skin broke out and her hair started falling out. Actually she was pulling it out. Also started having digestive issues. Vet said allergy. Stopped the food and symptoms stopped.

I'm currently using Blue Buffalo. Before that I was using Natural Balance but my dog got tired of it. He seems very happy with Blue Buffalo. I get the one for weight control.

My Ozzy was feed the senior chicken and rice, he lived to be 16 yrs old. Now my Sasha is being fed this too. She loves it! Would recommend Blue Buffalo for every senior dog.

We have a standard Jack Russell and she has food sensitivity. We tried many types excluding all Purina products as their food caused the death of our last dog. Blue Wilderness is grain free.

Our 7 year old dog came to us on Blue Buffalo and we've only switched the flavor. She only eats once a day but seems to enjoy it. We order online and it comes to our door.

I have 2 Shi Tzu dogs, both are Rescues, and both have been eating Blue Buffalo for almost 7 years. They love the small kibble food and I supplement it with Dynovite, which adds back the nutrients that the cooking process of dog food often takes out of the food that is supposed to benefit these creatures. I will continue to use this brand of food and the supplement of Dynovite. It stops the smelly dog smells and their poop is not all mushy like other foods cause them to be. Easy to clean up, pick up. And they are satisfied with the food. Sometimes for a special treat I will buy the canned version of the small kibble and they love it too.

Cat food poisoned. Decaying, turning green and blue. This was a couple months back. Blue Buffalo For Sensitive Stomachs: I still buy Blue Buffalo cat foods. I had two 15 lb bags, that were defective. I have been feeding my cats, dry Blue Buffalo cat food for 2 years now. Their foods have always been good. I still keep and eye out on this food: There is so many poisonings for their dog foods. I keep an eye out. Never have I seen food for cats, turn green and stick together with white and blue mold. Until I purchased a Blue Buffalo Cat food product. If you buy their cat foods: Keep an eye out on the kibble daily. If Your cats starts acting funny. Toss the food. If my cats, will not eat it. I toss it. I may switch back to Purina indoor cat food. Or IAMS.

Been using Purina One cat food for almost 15 years. My ferret's, my cat's, my kittens all eat Purina One. My ferret's needed a higher protein food. I decided to intergrade Blue Buffalo Wilderness cat food into my home. Within 3 days of this food in the house my one and a half year old healthy male cat was so hungry he started pulling apart carpet. I now have cat with a stomach and large intestine full of carpet pieces because the food was inadequate supply of fiber and natural fats that these animals need to feel full. I'm looking at a $3,000 Bill whether he survives or not. These people owe me and my family some compensation for the stress that we are under right now. We have already had to put one pet down in October.

It started about 2 years ago when my 9 year old cat developed flutd. He was eating Blue Buffalo since he was about three. I noticed he was going around squatting and peeing and using the litter box multiple times a day. So I panicked and I took him to the hospital. Come to find out he had a partial obstruction stuck in his urethra and luckily we caught it in time where a pill could help break it down but he was forced to be on prescription food for the rest of his life. The vet said if it comes back while he's on prescription food then it's a problem with the cat but if it goes away completely then it was the food... Ever since switching to prescription food not one problem ever. Of course I'm too scared to switch him back over to any other type of food so he'll just stay on prescription food. I thought ehh it happens... Then our other cat who was almost 2 years old started walking around like he was in pain... constantly visiting the litter box and we saw blood leaking out of him.

This has been a horrible experience. I bought the food because I have two senior Pugs. Since I have started using it they have had consistent diarrhea. There has also been ongoing bouts of peeing. This food is gone from my house. NEVER AGAIN - I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND IT!!

My 6 month Shit-zu had a seizure last week. Had been on Blue Buffalo Puppy chow for about a week prior to this when this occurred. Vet could not find anything wrong. Changed my puppy chow food, and he has not had any more seizures.

We brought home a new puppy 6 weeks ago today. She was on Puppy Chow and I knew it had to go. I decided to switch her to Blue Wilderness Large Breed Puppy. She did great on it. Then the first bag was empty. Open bag #2 and she walked away from her food. Figured she just wasn't hungry. Offered again later and she took a few bites then walked away. She finally ate about half her normal feeding when she got really hungry. The next morning, she has explosive diarrhea. Thought it may have been too many treats or the bully sticks, so we stopped giving treats and took the bully stick away.

I just returned a bag of Blue Buffalo "Freedom" grain-free puppy food to Petco because it had what looked to be rat poop in the food. Disgusting! At $20 for a small bag of food, I expected much better from this company. I wasn't surprised to see so many other negative reviews and comments about sick pets. Bad, bad, bad.

I took my dog to his vet who could find no reason for his extreme panting and weekend. He had another episode so I had to take him to the emergency vet hospital at 2 am. I finally realized that it could be the new bag of food. He never had a problem before. I stopped giving him the food and he has not had a problem since. Vet bills cost me $350.

I have had my dog on Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula since he was a puppy. He is now 4 years old and in good health. Never had a problem with this brand. I will continue to use blue Buffalo life protection formula.

My niece Daisy the chihuahua has been on this food for several years. It's the only food that she will eat. She barely has any teeth left but the kibble is small enough she pretty much just swallows it. She doesn't like wet food either. I have been trying to get her off of this food since the recalls started in 2016. This line of food has never been part of the recall so we kept feeding her this, praying and crossing our fingers that we would never have any issues. We opened a new bag of food on Friday and she started having tummy issues. She had diarrhea the first night the new bag was opened. We gave her probiotics and fed her a bland diet. She was better through the weekend so we added the kibble back on Tuesday.

I fed my cats Blue Buffalo dry food for approximately 2 years thinking that what I read on the bag was truthful. I trusted that the mineral amounts stated on each package were correct... To my surprise my sweetie Bug got very sick very fast. Day one he was lethargic and came and laid his head on my pillow to tell me he was sick. Day two he looked like crap so I made a vet appointment for the following day. Over the day I noticed that he wasn’t urinating.

When we adopted a new kitten, Oscar, his foster family had been feeding him Blue Wilderness cat food, we decided to switch for our 1 year old, Walter, as well because it seemed healthier. After 1 week our 1 year old cat has been vomiting and has had diarrhea. Walter is now at the animal hospital, severely dehydrated, with low kidney function. The only change in our household has been switching his food. This cat food is poison!

I have very big concerns about Blue Buffalo's Dry Dog food. I have an 8 year Shih Tzu who has been on the food for 2 years who didn't show problems until about 6 weeks Ago. This is when he began vomiting after every meal and after every time he would drink. He underwent several hundred dollars worth of testing only to find out that it was his dog food that was giving him the trouble.

Starting off day 1 of feeding my dog Blue Buffalo she has been extremely sick. She has had constant diarrhea and then started throwing up. In the 5 years of having her I have never experienced anything like this. All of the ingredients are similar to the ingredients in the previous food and I started switching them gradually mixing the two together. I talked to a friend who I thought had fed her dogs Blue Buffalo dry food and she proceeded to tell me she had a similar experience! One of her two dogs was fine, however the other showed the same symptoms throwing up and having diarrhea. After reading more reviews looks like this is not an uncommon accuracy with this brand of dog food. Extremely disappointed and worried for the wellbeing of my dog.

I got some blue Buffalo cat food to feed to the 30 or so cats in a colony that I care for. I also have 11 of my own rescues etc. None of the cats will eat it, which I thought was strange because it is touted as being healthy and wholesome. ** it is poison. My 8 year old cat, "Sqweek" was a healthy vibrant kitty until last week. I didn't know what was wrong with her, so I had to borrow some money to take her to the vet. Actually the vet was dumbfounded at the symptoms. Said it seemed like she had a stroke. Then I mentioned the Blue Buffalo cat food, and all kinds of alarms went off. I was told to put her on a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice and plenty of fresh water. That evening, she started to refuse to eat. The next day I was having to puree her food and feed her with a med. Syringe. It just got worse, and after staying by her side for three days and nights, she passed.

My dog had been feeling sick the last few days. Had a fever, wouldn't eat and no energy. Tonight I looked in his food bowl and saw 3 live worms crawling around. Then I looked in his dog food and saw multiple live worms crawling around in there. This is appalling. We trust you with the health of our animals and you bag up dog food full of worms.

We were an excellent customer of Blue Buffalo for several years. All of the sudden our black lab started to be constantly thirsty and drinking tons of water. She had several accidents on the carpet and basically ruined it. I coincidentally read about a recall of BB (Red Meat) dog food and the symptoms that it was causing. This is what my dog was eating and the symptoms she experienced. I only asked Blue Buffalo to reimburse me for the cost of cleaning the carpet. We did not submit vet bills or anything - just receipts for cleaning. They wrote back with a refusal to pay anything because they could not be "sure" that their food caused the problem. Of course I am disappointed with a response and have decided to never, ever subject my dog to such a lame company's product again.

My dog has been eating this food for close to two years now and never had a problem. She never cared for it much, but that's likely because she prefers MY food, and would pick at her bowl and eat it once she was sure she wasn't getting anything else. I dogsit for a friend and he mistakenly bought a bag of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Small Breed last week. Within two feedings, my dog had diarrhea and vomiting. I started feeding her rice and hamburger and then my friend's dog got diarrhea too! Thinking since the Wilderness was grain-free it may be too rich for them, I went and got a new bag of the regular BB Small Breed and threw out the Wilderness yesterday. I just arrived home to my dog in distress and vomiting. $60 for two bags of food down the drain! Not only is my dog sick, but now I get to make dinner for two dogs -- peas, hamburger and rice. Thanks, Blue Buffalo. I'm done.

If you read BB's ingredients, they offer the SAME first five ingredients of other top-selling, top-rated brands. Since dogs are domesticated, they NO LONGER have the digestion of a wolf, which is based on the Wilderness line of BB. This is why most breeds get sick off it; they can't digest raw meat, which is a component of Wilderness.

I switched to Blue Buffalo because of a recommendation from a friend. We were using Nutro before and now I have gone back to using Nutro. After using Blue Buffalo for senior small dogs; my dogs started pooping black tar like poop. I was worried about their health but simply switching back to Nutro Ultra the black poop went away. My dogs are shelter dogs and I am not sure of their age, I think they are at least 12 years old. I would recommend that if you want a good dog food use Nutro and skip the Blue Buffalo.

We moved back from Florida, and while looking for a new home to purchase we stayed with our son. Our son has a boxer and we have boxer/terrier that we rescued. We were giving our dog Purina pro plan since we rescued her, she was given that at the shelter. Once our son put his dog food down our little girl ran to the bowl and ate the entire bowl. I asked my son what the name brand of food it was. He said it Blue Buffalo turkey and rice blend. Needless to say I had a full bag of Purina pro plan that our no longer wanted to eat.

If I could give a negative rating I would. I have 3 dachshunds that have been on Blue Buffalo for a while. All of them developed health issues shortly after starting the food. ALL of them lost fur and had balding spots on them. My smallest of the three lost a lot of weight (12lbs down to 8 lbs). She had the million dollar work up with no answers. The last bag of food I bought did not look right - it was very dry and flaky. ALL 3 of them ended up with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. All 3 of them had to go on antibiotics and I had to cook them ground hamburger and rice while they were recovering.

Opened a new bag of Blue Buffalo dry dog food tonight and saw something in the food that looked like dried maggots and some fuzzy lint-like material and then on closer examination saw live maggots! The inside of the bag was covered with the cob webby, fuzzy lint-like substance. This experience has really turned me off of commercial dog food and will not be buying Blue Buffalo for my two dogs ever again.

It's healthy dog food and all three of my dogs like. It's natural no added anything that is very important to me. Also helps with their digestive system. They are vibrant dogs all three of them. Their ages are as follows Oscar 13, Toby 3 and Mowgli is 1. All are chihuahuas and have a lot of energy and I attribute that to the dog food.

I don't understand why people give this food a bad review. I have a 9 yr American bull dog/pit, 4yr German shepherd, 12yr min pin/chi mix, 13 yr cat, 5yr cat, 4yr cat, and a 4month kitten. Each of my dogs and cats have been through multiple food that has either made them sick, diarrhea, vomit, or didn't want to eat, even skin allergic reactions. It's not really so much the food that makes dogs sick it's what's in them that triggered our dog to get sick. It takes time for that Ingredient to build up in the dog's system before you see the reaction to it. So anyways Purina gave my shepherd hives and my pit gained too much and was losing fur on his tail, tried multiple Purina nothing worked. Switched to Nature's Recipe decent food however each of my dogs have a special diet they need to be on and grain free is the main thing.

Big price/Big problems: We adopted a one year old Weimaraner a month ago from the SPCA. Even on the Pedigree dog food they had her eating, she seemed fine. Poops were normal, and she had plenty of energy! I gradually switched her to Blue Buffalo Life Protection. For the last several days, she has had terrible gas and loose stools, lays around more, and has had several pee accidents. I am definitely going to buy her something else. Wish I had read these reviews before buying.

In my experience my decision to feed my dogs Blue was after reading so much and understanding of ingredients and standards in pet food. I read many reviews stating that it made their dogs sick and I really think that I would love to know what ingredient or recipe was the issue. If a dog has allergies it's not the food's fault. It's not the lobster's fault my husband can't eat it. Honestly there is nothing in Blue that has made my dogs sick, in fact quite the opposite. I have never heard a vet that wasn't owned by a pet food company say that Blue was toxic and would love someone to explain with actual factual data to support that.

I have just returned from the vet after taking my 8 year old chi after she vomited and began pooping blood early this morning. She had been eating this food for the past 4 days. She has no other history of any gi issues and doesn't have access to eating anything weird nor does she ever do that. When the vet was told her diet she advised against feeding Blue Buffalo food in any form and stated she had heard of many bad experiences with the brand. After spending over 650 dollars and seeing my poor pup wearing a doggie diaper because she couldn't control her bowels, I will certainly never buy that brand again. I am a RN, and I know that every dog is different but if even one dog experiences this it is one dog too many!!! My pup changed from being a happy healthy girl to being incapacitated over 24 hours. She lost so much blood that the vet was thinking she needed hospitalization.

Decided to upgrade my cat's food and bought Blue Buffalo. Within a few months he lost so much weight and started staggering so I took him to the vet and his blood work came out normal so I switched him back to his old food and he recovered.

I have a 12 year old Bernese Mountain Dog that has been on Blue Buffalo for many years. He is fit as a fiddle. Has great energy for his age and a beautiful coat. Not every dog food works for every dog. It's the pet owners responsibility to find out what will work. My boy Max ends up licking his bowl when it's all gone. No problems in the potty department or otherwise. My boy loves it!

I have a wonderful 10 year old Golden Retriever with skin allergies and when I went to the pet store last week to buy her food, a Blue Buffalo rep was there and convinced me to switch to their Basics, limited ingredient turkey and potato food, stating it would be a much better food. Well! It was THE WORST!!! My dog's skin broke out severely and became infected after eating it for just one week. Costing me hundreds of dollars at the vet!!! The last 2 days my dog even didn't want to eat it, and she loves all food! My vet said Blue Buffalo dog food is HORRIBLE!!! And the rep said it was it was high quality! DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET!!!

I had recently decided to"upgrade" my dog food to Blue Buffalo believing that it was the gold standard of dog foods. I have 3 small dogs and I'm halfway through my 2nd 30lb bag and I had to throw away the last half because it was making my dogs so sick. A 30lb bag lasts me about a month with all 3 dogs eating. There are 3 reasons that lead me to believe that this sickness was caused by this dog food. About 2 months ago, one of my dogs started getting sick and throwing up, at first I didn't think much of it thinking he just ate something that didn't agree with him. Two of my 3 dogs have huge appetites and even after a month of being on Blue Buffalo, none of my dogs seemed to have the same appetite. One dog wouldn't even go near the food and often times I could come back after feeding them breakfast or dinner only to find all three bowls still had food in them - which is not normal for my dogs!

I have two dogs both are severely ill from the food. Symptoms lethargic, bloody diarrhea, vomiting. I called the pet store they had no idea of any recalls. Blue Buffalo needs to communicate recalls to the stores so they pull the product (Blue Buffalo Wilderness and Blue Basic soft food). Stores. This is issue has caused high veterinary bills to stabilize my two dogs' health. One of my dogs is still passing blood every couple hours. Clearly there is an issue with the product.

I have a 9 year old Aussie/Retriever that suffered from allergies. His ears stunk and were very hard to keep from getting infected. He chewed on his feet incessantly, and had small sores all over his body that drove him crazy. I switched to BB (Life Protection Formula Adult Chicken & Brown Rice) about 3 weeks ago and he is already 95% better. I don't doubt that BB has caused problems with some dogs, but read reviews about any brand and you will see the same theme; my dog was perfectly healthy despite being 100 years old, and all he did was smell (insert any brand) and he died immediately.

I came across Blue Buffalo chicken and rice formula (blue bag) for my senior Maltese around November '16 upon recommendations. My maltese was a perfectly healthy dog who had no issues transitioning to any food... My beloved 13lb boy started throwing up with diarrhea, refusing to eat anything drinking tons of water... His stomach symptoms worsened despite throwing away the food immediately and taking him to the vet. High liver levels, rapid weight loss, vomiting, trembling, unexplained seizures that would come at night (died out after the food was completely out of the system). He was so emaciated we could not do any invasive testing and had to rely on medication based on an educated guess of what was going on.

I have 3 dogs 2 bullies and a pit/lab mix. My lab/pit is 8 1/2 years old and has the beginning stages of arthritis... I started giving her something for it as well as multivitamins, brushing bones for her teeth and fresh breath tablets. While on my monthly trip to Petco on Friday June 2nd for these things I asked a woman a question about salmon versus omega-3 pills. She told me if I fed them Blue Buffalo I wouldn't need to buy all those things because it has it in there already so it would save me money. She was very persistent on selling the food. I said I would try a small bag (at $33) first to see if they liked it. She came with the 22 lb bag (at $58). I said "maybe I should wait" but she insisted I try it now stating "try it for a couple days, if your dogs absolutely do not like it you can bring it back".

We have two 16 month old litter mate, golden retrievers and a pomeranian. We opened a new bag of Blue Buffalo Kibble (that they have been on for months), then all three had loose stools, and some bloating with lethargy. This went on for a month, with us eliminating whatever we could to diagnose the problem. Then the kibble was almost gone, and we thought it might be their food. We purchased a new bag, and the loose stool problem went away in 48 hours with all three at the same time, with no other changes in their diet.

I just had to put my beloved 8.5 year old male cat down because he had a complete urinary tract block from cystitis and became septic. He has been eating Blue Buffalo since I adopted him as a 5 week old kitten. He also got a daily can of wet cat food. I am devastated and have been trying to learn everything I can about feline urinary tract infections only to learn that the expensive cat food I have been feeding him KILLED him! I spent the first couple days grieving and now I am so angry. Had I not given him Blue Buffalo I may still have my little fur buddy. UGH!! I will never use this product again if and when I decide to adopt another cat.

I'm happy found this page. I have a 10 y/o Boxer and a 3 y/o Chihuahua mix. The Boxer suffers from arthritis and I need to watch her weight. I went to PetSmart and they recommended Blue Buffalo Healthy weight Adult chicken & Brown Rice Recipe. The boxer is losing weight very quickly, simply because she refuses to eat it and rather goes hungry than even give it a chance. The chihuahua will eat it after he realizes there is not more choices.

Nature's Evolutionary Diet adult Dry Dog Food 100% Grain Free - My Dog absolutely loves this dog food. But she hates the "LifeSource Bits". She spits them out and I'm constantly sweeping them up. I went to the pet store to find another dog food and the employee there told me she's had several customers complain of the same thing. So I am only finding another brand because there are little pellets all over my floor.

My dog has been on this dry food for several years. Bought a new bag yesterday and within an hour of eating the first meal from it became severely ill. Diarrhea and severe vomiting and crying as she vomited. I liken it to a bad case of food poisoning. Will return the bag today and switch her to something else. She was not ill or had any symptoms prior to eating. I will report to Blue Buffalo. Either a tainted batch or possible change in recipe?

I decided to give this food a try. My car has a gluten allergy, so we decided to go grain free at the advice of out vet. Well, my cat vomited. I thought maybe it was a one time thing. Today she vomited all over the house. She has also been seeing all over. I found this site when do research on Blue Buffalo. Thank goodness. This site may have very well saved my cat's life.

Both of my dogs have been on Blue Buffalo dog food for a week, they only get it at night because during the day they go to the farm and have breakfast there. Both of them have uncontrollable diarrhea all night. One of my dogs has also been very lethargic and not wanting to play with is very much unlike him, he is constantly on the go. That haven't been on it long at all and they are already miserable. I'm never buying this food again.

Blue Buffalo KILLED MY DOG at the ripe old age of 1 year old. The vet told me he sees many dogs in his office sick and dying because of this dog food. My aunt has 2 Yorkies that have developed chronic colitis which is incurable. Blood in stools, vomiting, loss of appetite. I also have clients who have told me their cats and dogs have developed bloody stools because of this dog food. Not to mention this dog food has had several RECALLS. I hate that Blue Buffalo has those people in the pet stores trying to sell you their dog food. If it was so good then you wouldn't need someone trying to sell you it! PLEASE. I beg you never ever buy this dog food.

I would like to warn all dog owners. After changing from regular Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice to Freedom Grain Free Chicken and brown rice. My dog ate approx. 1 cup when I noticed she stopped eating anything. The vet put her on a bland diet and she seemed to improve, but when the BB food was added to her bland diet she again stopped eating. The vets blood panel showed her kidneys were shutting down. The numbers were so high the vet said she wouldn't survive, he described it as a major toxic event. The dog lost 7 lbs. In 9 to 10 days with oral tube feeding of beef & rice, her normal weight being 23 lbs. The nausea meds did not help her keep food down. I had her put down on May 09 '17 because she refused to eat and couldn't hold down food also she started to have blood in her urine on the evening of May 08 '17. Now I see all Blue Buffalo food is on sale with free shipping! How can they sleep at night?

Last year we were looking for a new senior food for my 3 dogs since they're all seniors. We were told by not only our vet but others that Blue Buffalo was best for them, so we went out and grabbed a bag. While into the bag Boxer started having stomach issue more than usual, and my Maltese started having skin issues dry flaky skin. Was told it was an allergy to the food so we took the unused portion bag back and returned to the normal food we had been giving them with no further issues. Meanwhile my Maltese started losing hair I mean patches of hair. Took him back to the vet and they said they needed to run a skin test. 4 days later we got the results and it was positive for a rare form of skin cancer. Due to his age and size they did not recommend treatment saying it would kill him faster than if we just to let it go. Shortly after that he lost his hair on his body, had big dry spots. We tried everything lotions, baths.

Feeding BB Indoor dry cat food to my 2 y/o tabby for approx 3 months. This past Easter weekend she nearly died. 2 ER visits and Vet when asked if I should change her diet product said "No". Back to another ER clinic again today. Vet told me to get her off that food. She was lethargic, would eat or drink water, would hide refusing to eat. She was in agonizing pain. I could read her. It has to be the Blue Buffalo. Confirmed at the new Vet today. Thanks to her Chloe is on her way to recovery. The remaining product at home is now in the trash, whereas it belongs!!

I was feeding my 17 year old cat very successfully with Castor and Pollux Organic food. Pet stores stopped carrying it, so I (slowly as recommended) switched over to Blue Wilderness, figuring it was the next best healthy. My poor little kitty started peeing, completely emptying her bladder, all over the house! Or NEXT to the litter box, but not in it. Then she developed constipation. There were no behavioral reasons for this, and I started to accept that maybe her kidneys were failing as happens to old cats.

I fed my Pit Bull the red meat in can. I bought in bulk so never notice the recall, my dog loved this food but eventually made him sick. He developed cancer a mast cell tumor which can be caused by allergies which I believe this food caused, he had surgery but didn't last 2 months he passed 3 weeks ago. My heart is broken, this food killed my dog, this company should be shut down immediately.

We have fed our 6 year old Husky Blue Buffalo for over a year without problems. We mainly buy the Denali Dinner, however when we bought our three month old husky the BB puppy food she had continuously loose stools. We keep having to feed her rice to get her back on track. The puppy line of Blue Buffalo is rough on the digestive system. We're considering switching brands so that our puppy doesn't have to deal with the bouts of diarrhea anymore.

I was appalled when I found this site! I was looking to lodge a complaint against Blue Buffalo when I found it. I am so glad I did. I have noticed my dog lethargic after switching to this brand can food (limited ingredient) and have even worse news about their dental bones. I had not put 2 and 2 together and now will take my dog off of everything "Blue"!! My complaint was because I just got off the phone with "customer service" and was told to go to the store to get credit when I learned that their treats "health bars" which state on the top of the FRONT of the bag "NO CHICKEN/POULTRY BY PRODUCT MEALS, NO CORN, WHEAT OR SOY, NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES, NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS'' and found out too late, that listed in the ingredients in small print on the BACK of the bag is CHICKEN MEAL.

My beloved dog is slowly dying due to this food and we do not know what to do. We started feeding him Blue Buffalo and he started acting weird, very lethargic, panting, excessive water drinking and many more symptoms. So we took him to get a blood test and found out that his CATALYST DX LEVELS ARE AT 3,492 which is super high and the doctor suggested that our dog may not make it through the weekend. Now he is at the vet and they are flushing his kidneys in hopes of saving our dog. Please do not feed your dogs this crap. It will kill them. It has a very high toxicity levels.

My 13yo, 15 lb Schnoodle was recently euthanized from osteosarcoma. I switched him over to Blue Buffalo Freedom Grain Free Adult in September of last year. I thought the life bits and non gluten would be good for him. He was using their other gluten free product. He had always been very active, so I thought he was just getting arthritis. Then he started limping. Then the bone cancer diagnosis that only affects 10,000 dogs/year and 95% large dogs. (My dog was in the 500 dogs/yr category.) I looked online to see if this dog food is known to cause osteosarcoma, and I see that they just donated $6 million to study it. I also saw other food health issues. Knowing no data was collected for this disease with my dog, I wanted it here, in case someone else has a dog on the gluten free foods and develops osteosarcoma.

Do Not Feed Your Dog Chicken & Brown Rice Life Protection. I fed this food to my 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier for about 6 months. Pit bulls are prone to skin infections and mine was no exception. I researched the best food to feed him but he always had a rash on his belly. I decided to give this food a try based on the ingredient list. His skin did not clear up and he began constantly licking his paws. I took him to the vet for the usual round of antibiotics and the vet indicated he had seasonal (winter) allergies.

Just returned from vet office. We switched to Blue Buffalo because it seemed like good food. My dog was sickly for a while and he now diagnosed with kidney problem. Doctor asked us about his food and told us to get rid of it.

I had a healthy 11 year old cat who was on Total Canine cat food since he was a kitten. I went to PetSmart and spoke to a employee who I asked suggestions on cat food as I wanted to change my cat's food up. He suggested Blue Brand cat. I purchased a bag which cost me over 60 dollars a bag which I didn't care if it was healthy for my cat. 3 days on the food my cat didn't seem right. He was having trouble walking and crying which he never did before. I brought him to the vet and was told he kidneys were shutting down. Needless to say I was in total disbelief as I thought I was feeding my cat good food. Last night I had to make the hardest decision of my life to let my beautiful beloved cat go to kitty heaven. My heart is broke and I will get it out as much as I can - DO NOT FEED your animals BLUE BRAND pet food.

Two weeks ago, I bought a couple of cans of the chicken and trout as described above (CT). My cats liked it. Those cans were from PetSmart. Last week, I bought four cans from Petco... and decided I would continue to get it, as it gave my cats variety in their meals. They ate from the new batch on Thursday morning, and by nighttime, I had three cats vomiting, with diarrhea, and in distress. One of them already is severely compromised because of Polycythemia, a rare blood disorder in cats. On Friday, another began the same symptoms. I rushed four cats to my vet who put them on an anti-emetic and anti-diarrheal medications.

I had two cats. They were both older, and I have always babied them. My husband and I decided about three weeks ago that we would switch their food to Blue Buffalo because the company touted that it was natural and healthy. I wanted to make sure, as they are aging, that they had the best nutrition to keep them healthy. We diligently mixed the old food with the new according to the instructions on the package.

I am a black lab that is not in the vet hospital with severe pancreatitis. He was fine and healthy until I switched him over to Blue Wilderness High Protein chicken recipe for senior dogs. He would not eat or drink and didn't even want to play. After 2 days I was very concerned, when I brought him to the vet and after the initial bloodwork was told of the results. The vet asked if I changed anything and told him. He then told me that this dog food was the worst, very high levels of fat and said it was not FDA approved. I have read other articles of the same thing happening. How can we stop this from happening again. First I think Blue Wilderness should pay for my vet bill, and second stop this company from selling pet food once and for all. Can't be a coincident that it is happening to so many dogs.

Vet believes Blue Buffalo killed my dog. I have always cherished my dogs and cats. They are family, they are my heart and I have lost my share of babies through passing by natural causes. This is not about a natural cause. I am so saddened about what I heard from my Vet today. This past Christmas eve, I noticed that my sweet Bella, a beautiful rescued chi, was becoming lethargic, not as happy to see me when I came home. She was always the first one to the door when I got home. I took her with me shopping for the day and found that all she did was sleep in her pouch, which I wear around my neck. She did want water, but didn't seem to be hungry, even for her special chicken breast with rice. By Christmas morning, I was even more concerned. She just wasn't looking well. I had been up all night with her. She slept, I watched her.

I started to give my 10 month old Frenchie the Blue Buffalo puppy formula for about 6 weeks now and he has started having many issues as stated here in the reviews. He shivers, diarrhea, poops and pees in the house even in front of me, something he has never done before. He even goes into labored breathing. Had him in the E.R. twice in the past 3 weeks and they give him a sedative, oxygen and send him home. I have stopped the Blue Buffalo dog food as of yesterday. Will not take a chance with my puppy's life. Thank you to everyone that has posted on here.

Life Source bits is a listed ingredient on this dog food. The last 20 bags of dog food I purchased had less and less of these bits. I called this in to Blue Buffalo so they would be aware of production problems. I was treated VERY rudely and the customer service rep refused to take the information for the code on the bag. Now there are NO life source bits in this dog food. Last 2 bags I purchased had NO life source bits. AAFCO gives their approval based on the INGREDIENTS contained within dog foods. Blue Buffalo needs to stand up and take care of this. AND I want my money back. The store I bought it at said they could not refund my money.

Blue healthy gourmet chicken pate and turkey pate provide a satisfying and healthy meal for my cat. Until recently, she ate only dry food. These are the only two flavors that she will eat. I have given her other brands of wet food, but she sniffs it and walks away.

Sick Rottweiler - 110 lbs, 6.5 years old. Food: Blue Buffalo dry and wet food. Started Dog on new, grain free diet using Blue Buffalo's Blue, Turkey and Potato for allergens and their dry food Chicken formula in the blue bag. Dog liked the food. No issues other than excessive urination was noted. Later switched to Homestyle Recipe Chicken Dinner with Garden Vegetables, blue can along with the same dry food but, new lot. Switched to all dry - dog refused to eat. Switched to just wet, dog became increasingly worse until refusing to eat for days on end.

I purchased several bags of Life Protection and my dogs' coat looked horrible after about 3 weeks. One of them also quit eating it and just looked at me. I took him off of it entirely and kept my other dog on a grain free product. This dog now has Asthma (wheezing and sneezing) which I am struggling with. I have been in contact with 4 vets whom all have told me the food is all hype. This dog is now off the product also. One of these vets happens to be a believer in Pro Plan which I do not support and he went on to say that he was an FDA inspector and he did not like Blue Buffalo. I no longer will even consider their products and I say buyer beware.

Not sure if this review will go through since my computer dropped on creating account. Tried several, different, grain-free BB/BW dry dog foods: Natural Evolutionary Diet -- duck, salmon, bison. Also Rocky Mountain Recipe: with bison, rabbit, red meat. Noticed my male Rottweiler became lethargic, listless, cried a little when trying to lie down. At night he roamed like he was seeing ghosts or something. He would eat the food with enthusiasm. His bowels looked OK at first. Then he seemed to have trouble making a number 2 movement. Seemed he was in a bit of pain. He would go outside and did not take an interest in anything. He would not play. Basically, he moved like an old man.

Blue Buffalo weight management cat food has helped my 14lb cat who was very heavy, to a trim 10lb cat. She's a different cat now, looks like half a cat. She's not nervous anymore. It might cost more but it is so worth the little extra, she's part of the family.

Our dog has been on this food for about 1 month, she has had a few symptoms early on but we weren't aware of the correlation and the dog food until she became so ill we were afraid if she would even recover. She is a young golden doodle, about 4 years old. Always playful and always happy. She has been extremely sick for 4 days now, became extremely skinny, her skin even turned a brighter pink, some quivering/shaking, vomit, diarrhea, gas, and extremely lethargic. We took her to the vet today and are worried we waited too long since she is now dehydrated and refuses to use the bathroom. Many of the reviews mirror our dogs symptoms!

This brand of cat food is a little pricier but worth it in the long run. My cat has sensitive stomach and throws up a lot due to hair balls and this cat food has stopped her from throwing up. My cat's hair is also shinier and healthier looking. I like that Blue Buffalo does not have by-products and it is small bite sizes that are easier chewed by cats.

Started feeding get my Shi Tzu Blue Buffalo because of food allergies. After a few weeks he was throwing up, extreme diarrhea with blood, not eating or drinking and lethargic. Took him to the vet and he stayed 7 days out of 2 weeks on IV fluids, antibiotics and nausea meds. Had to take him 2 states over to a internal medicine vet. He had x-rays, blood work and an ultra sound. I've spent $1,050 trying to get him better. They put him on different food and he's slowly getting better. This dog food is poison! Do not feed this to your dog!!

I have been feeding my dogs (Shetland sheepdogs) Blue Buffalo life protection formula for about a year. The last bag that I bought, chicken and brown rice, my dogs do not want to eat it. I have noticed that they have gas that is very foul smelling. I wonder if others are having any issues with their lots? My lot # is AH 2 D 0106 expiry Apr 16 18. I am almost afraid to keep them on it. They are only eating the soft food that I add to the hard blue buffalo kibble.

This so-called "premium" holistic pet food has a Class Action Lawsuit against them that very few Pals Members, PetSmart and Petco reward consumers knew about. Https://www.petfoodsettlement.com. I was one of all three of the above groups and was never notified. The only way I found out about it was through a relative, who only purchased a few bags of the food. Obviously, I wasn't notified because I had a greater stake in the claim process.

We have 3 dogs. One was having a food allergy issue with our old dog food. So, we heard the commercials claiming how healthy Blue Buffalo was for your dogs and we switched even though it cost close to 3x the amount of the old dog food. We figured if it worked then the money was worth it. Within 3 bags we realized that the one dog that was already having issues had gotten so much worse, he developed severe hot spots on his chest, feet and face. He was lethargic and anti-social. He also seemed to avoid eating. The other dog that was previously not having any problems became lethargic, developed a hot spot and was always itchy. He also, this is what really scared me, was having trouble peeing. The third dog looked marvelous but we realized she was putting on too much weight too quickly.

My dogs seem much more satisfied Basic Grain Free Buffalo and they love it and they seem much happier and they do not shed like they were before on other brands... They do need their nails clipped more often. Great nutrition. I pay around $45.00 for a 40lb bag, but can get the chicken flavor for $29.. The buffalo flavor is much more satisfying.. I just wished it was not so expensive as it is much better for my dogs' digestive system. I have two 80lb each Hound Dogs I rescued and they love this food. Can't we find an alternative to prices, these babies are so special to us, yet good food for them is not affordable.

Hire young kids with a great pitch to hand out little samples of this poison food... I never had a problem with my doberman until now. I hope the executives are happy ripping off consumers with their bogus dog food... I just hope I can switch back to my original dog food with more problems. Anyone who uses this stuff be prepared to stay up nights taking dog out, missing days of work taking dog out and paying a carpet cleaner to clean the feces out of your carpet and also cleaning the watery feces from under his tail... EVIL HOW LOW PEOPLE WILL GO TO MAKE A DOLLAR IN THE USA.

I switched my Bichon Frise to Blue Buffalo small breed food because he lost interest in the food he had been eating. For months, he would have on and off diarrhea and would not eat. I would put him on a bland diet and he would bounce back. Then, he had diarrhea with throwing up. He had to be hospitalized and the vet could not diagnose his problem. My daughter did research and found MANY similar circumstances associated with dogs eating Blue Buffalo dog food. After moving to a dog food that research said would not pose risks to him, he has not been ill since.

I purchased "Blue Buffalo Wilderness Red meat Healthy weight" 4lb 2 days ago. My 3 dogs are picky so I have to try small bag first and slowly switch another brand all the time. I have been feeding "Rachael Ray" dog food which my dogs love it. But I change every 6 month different brand and I fed them Wilderness before so OK! Let's try "Healthy Weight". I always always check smell first so after open, I put my face into the bag... I saw bugs inside!! So I went back to Petsmart then I grabbed another bag then opened at the cashier. It was more bugs inside. OMG! I never seen bugs in dog food in 7 years. And it's expensive one. I paid $23 for "4lb". I want everybody check carefully when you opened. Never open dark place. You may not see it.

Just switched my dog from Pro Plan to Blue Buffalo and he loves it. I like that the senior food includes glucosamine which my vet recommended. My dog has been eating the dry Blue Buffalo & leaving his can good.

Had a very healthy Yorkie 10 years. Just left vet with full healthy dog. Only suggestion was to switch him to soft food cause of his teeth. Bought Blue cause it was most expensive. Thought it was the best. Did not do my research. Dog was in excellent health till about 2 weeks on Blue. Within one week after he lost over half his weight and passed away. I know he was not a puppy but he had the energy of one prior to Blue dog food. I highly recommend that all review this garbage before you give it to your pet. I absolutely do not believe in my dog getting sick and passing over short period of time.

When I transitioned my pet over to Blue he wouldn't eat it. It took over a week before he finished his serving. It's better now. He prefers it softer so we add a little warm wet food to enhance the flavor.

I have 2 dogs, a 13 yr old and a 3 yr old... They both love the Blue Buffalo food. They both benefit from the vitamins and antioxidants. Their coats are shinier and softer. They love the taste and it is good for them. It is the best food. No grains, real meat, high protein. And vitamins/antioxidants. Who could ask for more?

Switching Blue Buffalo was the best thing that I ever did for my guys! Their coat is in better shape --- soft, not dry and very healthy looking. It is much healthier for them and very nutritious. Everything my dogs eat is from Blue! It is a pricey, but my kids are worth it!

When we got Luke, I researched what food is best for him. The ingredients are the most important. They seem to use good ingredients without having a lot of useless fillers. I also looked at reviews from many websites. Even though Blue Buffalo had a few recalls, I felt they met most of what I felt was the best food on the market. Luke seems to like it, and I am happy with their product.

I have two female wolves and a large breed Alaskan malamute, all of them like Blue Buffalo. I started buying this brand six yrs ago when I got the wolfs, I was told by the vet not to give them dog food with soy in it. I never noticed before, my malamute seems to like it best also.

Really thought I was doing a good job feeding my dog strictly Blue Buffalo chicken. He has been on it for 8 months when Nov 2016 he started having trouble peeing. Thought it was a urinary tract infection but soon discovered he had a large stone in his bladder. Currently this stone is in testing so we can find out what cause this. 2,000.00 dollars on vet bills and dog will be on CD formula from Science Diet. BUYER BEWARE. FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.

Upon deciding to change our Golden Retriever's dog food, we selected Blue Buffalo Freedom Beef dog food. We started with a very small amount mixed in with his regular dog food. That night our dog became extremely agitated and started pacing the room with very foul smelling gas. We could hear his stomach gurgling and churning and he started making a strange noise from his mouth. We immediately went outside with him, and he began to vomit. During the night he again became sick and had diarrhea all over our house. We found him under the Christmas tree - hiding and ashamed. We immediately started him on a rice and chicken diet for the next two days and he returned to good health. We thought it might be the new food, but couldn't believe such a small amount could make him so sick. On the third day we tried 1/8 cup with 1 cup of his regular food.

A couple of years ago I was looking for a different cat food to feed my 3 cats as the one I was using was being discontinued. I decided to try Blue Menu based on their TV ads. It sounded like the perfect food. Well, two of my cats didn't like it but the third loved it and couldn't seem to get enough of it. I kept a separate dish of food for the other two hoping I could convince them to eat Blue Menu eventually too. Mocha, the cat that loved it, within a short period of time, about 3 weeks, started having health issues. He became lethargic, his coat became dry and lackluster and his eyes dull, he started losing weight and then he started to have seizures. A visit to the vet and blood tests showed nothing abnormal and the vet told me to keep a journal and closely monitor him.

I have been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo for the last 5 years. We switched our dog to the senior food about 1 year ago and never had any problems. The last bag I purchased (about 2 weeks ago) from PetSmart have cause our dog some issues. She has repeatedly vomited after eating. This has never happened before. We have stopped giving her snacks and treats since she got sick to try and figure out what is going on with her and we have concluded that it is the dog food. We have been limiting her food to watch when she eats. She is not eating much because she knows what will happen...absolutely heartbreaking to watch her. We will no longer purchase Blue Buffalo and will make sure everyone we know will know why!
