Blue Buffalo Pet Foods Reviews

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.

We feed our dog, Emma, homemade food and treats because she is allergic to wheat. I was out of the country and we ran out of treats, so my mom thought it would be okay to try her on Blue Buffalo. Emma nearly finished the bag before I threw the remaining handful in the trash. She became super incontinent for 10 days and then got very sick. She was hospitalized for 3 nights and the doctors kept asking if she got into rat poison because her blood work came back showing high calcium + high phosphorus which often indicates high Vitamin D. She does not have kidney failure or liver failure. I looked up on the internet about Blue Buffalo only to learn they recalled some of their food back in 2010 due to high Vitamin D and 36 dogs were very sick after consuming their product. Are they having the same problem now? We are in the process of tracking down our receipt of purchase for the treats.

I have two cats who have both been having bad reactions to their Blue Buffalo food. I switched to the brand over a year ago, and one of them’s been barfing 3-5 times a month, while the other's been having constant diarrhea. They are indoor cats, so I'm able to monitor what they eat. Been around cats my whole life and know this is NOT a normal reaction. Frustrated because I want what's best for them but no longer think it's this food brand.

A few months ago, I switched from Purina to Blue Buffalo grain free dry cat food. It was recommended by my local pet store, Pet Supplies Plus. My four cats seemed to like it, and I felt like I was doing well by them. The food isn't cheap! I have a cat that has skin issues and it cleared them up right away. My cat Eric, had always been overweight, so when he began losing weight, I took it as a good thing. I thought because he was receiving better nutrition and less filler, he was losing the weight. When we started the food, he was twelve pounds, now he is nine, and still shrinking. When bones began to protrude from his entire body, I became very worried. I was considering taking him to the vet, but the next day, it became even more urgent. He started refusing food and water, and was very weak. I took him to the vet and they did a blood test. They determined that it was feline hepatic lipidosis, which is a condition affecting the liver. The inside of his mouth is yellow, he is depressed, vomits frequently, and is still refusing food and water.

Angry doesn't even begin to describe how I feel! We bought our very 1st bag of Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Dog food for our 11yo black lab Logan 2 weeks ago 11/7/14, as his current brand was changing formulations and I'd heard that this brand was really good. We started slowing adding the blue wilderness slowly, progressing to 1/2 and 1/2 this past week. He started wanting to go out during the night (always slept through night), drinking tons of water, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last week. We had snow so never thought to look at his stool in yard. By Thursday night, was visibly sick and wouldn't eat the dry food, but wolfed down 1/2 can of Vet canned GI food. Took Logan to the vet on Friday, and our Vet was certain he's got into "some kind of poison". He had very little red blood cells, very low iron count, and no platelets - basically our dog was bleeding to death. Our vet tried to counteract with Vitamin K and steroids, but nothing worked. He died from a massive gastrointestinal bleed - bleeding profusely from his nose and rectum on Friday night. We will be having the food checked by a toxicologist, and I have all his stools from the yard. It's the only think of to do. Beware!!!

I fed my pregnant female the Blue Buffalo Puppy formula dry dog food. Her along with my male had absolutely no problems with this food. My male actually gained some weight which I approved of since he was a little under weight. After my female had her litter I continued the puppy food thru the nursing period and all the pups were very active and healthy. I sold all the pups at 9 weeks and switched gradually over to the senior formula. This is when I noticed a problem. My female would throw up daily and started to lose her fur. Her beautiful red hair color turned to a dingy faded color. I started to research Blue Buffalo's claim about the purity of their dog food when I came across the claims made by Purina. As I read on with other pet owners experiences, I noticed they had the same problems. I immediately discontinued Blue Buffalo brand food and purchase a Purina brand. The vomiting stopped right away and I continued now only with this brand and type. I'm not making any claims here, I just want happy, healthy pets. You be the judge.

I have a two year old lab, I have been giving her Blue Buffalo since she was a puppy. About two weeks ago she started having bad diarrhea and vomiting. We thought maybe she got into something in the yard. We took her to the vet and they could not find anything wrong. They put her on medication and I gave her rice and meat for a few days. My husband thought it could be her food so we threw it away a full bag that she only ate from for three days.

We have been feeding our Corgi mix and our son's boxer Blue Buffalo for some time with no adverse effects. The boxer has soft stools but the Corgi's stools are fine. About a month ago, we bought a bag from Petsmart and it had bugs growing in it. We took it back and the other bags on the shelf were all bad. So I wonder if the bad bags all came from Petsmart and it is actually a Petsmart problem. Where do they store the food before it's shipped to stores?

My Experience with Blue Buffalo hasn't been as horrendous as most reviewers here but I have stopped using this food for a number of reasons. We have a 1 1/2 yr. old Brussels Griffon and 1 1/2 yr. old Pekapoo mix. Both have been fed Blue Buffalo since about 8 weeks of age. Both dogs seemed to tolerate the food okay although our Peekapoo has been a very finicky eater and usually only will eat her food after the other one threatens to take it. Our Brussels on the other hand will eat anything and everything and since we got him would occasionally throw up (once every week or two)... usually bile, sometimes with undigested kibble mixed in. I had always attributed this to him eating other things he shouldn't be. I still felt uncomfortable with him having such frequent bouts of vomiting at such a young age.

Our dog would whine at his dog dish and we didn't know why. We noticed that he wasn't eating his food, but we persisted in only feeding the dog his senior food. We kept telling him, "You got plenty of food and water, what more do you want?" Now looking back on his behavior, I wished that we would have discontinued feeding him that brand. He was so sick that we brought him to the vets. They were very concerned over his condition and had him on IVs. He seemed to recover for a time after we fed him only chicken and rice. Unknowingly we kept feeding him his regular dog food after he got better. One morning I found him lying on the floor and barely responsive. He died a short time later. Had we only gone with our suspicions and discontinued feeding him BB, he may still be alive.

I'd been feeding my two cats Blue Buffalo for 5-6 months. They ate both wet and dry products. My older cat, Sadie, was about 11 or 12 years old, but still active and curious. My kitten, Nala, was extremely hyper. Sadie didn't really like the Blue food. Nala gobbled it up. She loved it. I thought all was well. In late September/early October, Sadie started appearing "sick." I ended up taking her to an emergency vet, and I was told she had a multitude of issues, one of them being small kidneys/kidney failure. I tragically had to let her go on October 6, 2014. I attributed her death to a combination of old age and infections.

I fed my 10 lb Mini Schnauzer Blue Basic for over a year with no issues, in May 2014 I had a problem finding it so I switched to Blue Life Protection Formula for small breeds. My two year old dog began vomiting occasionally with a white foamy substance and always mid-day. My vet said it was typical of breed. However the episodes became daily and turned to foamy bile. When I researched online I found this long list of complaints. I immediately switched her to Natural Diet Limited Ingredients Diet. She hasn't vomited since and it has been over a month since I switched brands.

We fed our cats Blue Buffalo Dry for several years, and all 3 of our males died. Two of inflammatory bowel disease, one from small bowel cancer. The Blue Buffalo Dry we fed has barley and rice in it. Avoid at ALL costs. Feed a high-quality canned food instead. Something with NO grain and NO gluten.

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.

My British bulldog became lethargic and sick with explosive yellow colored diarrhea with blood in it and vomiting last week. She has been eating Blue Buffalo Senior for about two years with no problem. I purchased the last bag two weeks ago. After eating it for a week she became lethargic and started having episodes of the shakes, followed by diarrhea and vomiting. She spent 5 days at the vet and they couldn't find any problems in her stool samples. They changed her diet and we brought her home after she made a firmer stool at the vets. We fed her the prescription food for 3 more days and she was fine. The fourth day home we mixed the prescription food from the vet half and half with her regular blue buffalo Senior food and that night she started the yellow diarrhea again. We put her on a diet of white rice for the next 3 days and she was back to normal.

We recently adopted a 9 month old mixed breed. While at the pet store, a rep from Blue Buffalo, who was very friendly and what I thought helpful, recommended their product. He had been fed from a food bank and accustomed to a variety of foods so I did not have anything to transition with. We started him on the puppy lamb and Oatmeal. He liked it. Gradually he developed diarrhea, which I expected with the abrupt change in diet and new family/home. On day 8 he had full blown liquid stools. I did some research to find out that several people were having the same problem with Blue Buffalo products. I started him on pumpkin/rice/chicken mash which he devoured as if he had not eaten in a week. On day 10, after stopping Blue Buffalo, he is now vomiting and pooping blood. Needless to say we have a trip to the vet scheduled and I have now missed 2 days of work. Wonder if Blue Buffalo will reimburse me for missed work and the vet bill? Highly doubt it considering they don't even answer the phone!

I was just casually looking for where Blue Buffalo was made and came across this link. I started reading what seemed to be a repetitive story for both cats and dogs, all of them made me so sad and a few of them brought tears to my eyes. I also started my three cats on BB indoor grain free dry food in chicken and seafood. They really didn't like either but I thought they would eventually eat it and it is suppose to be great for them. This past weekend my Cayenne kitty, who is never been sick and is always happy and hungry, began howling like I have never heard her before. If freaked us out! She threw-up a few times and then the dreaded litter box episode where she howled again. Diarrhea! I knew it was something she ate, but what the can food or dry? Or since I live in Florida was it a lizard?

So, I have a 5-year-old male rotty/shep mix. Took him to Vet for check up recent minor surgery. I was concerned cause he had lost weight (without trying). But Vet was happy with his weight since he had been overweight and we did work on bringing him down from 142 to 125-127 lbs. He was 122.98. Vet said well he's a big boy a good poop could be 3 lbs. I just listened, but in the back of my head it didn't sit right with me. In the meantime I did notice that he wasn't as excited to eat actually quite apprehensive which is very unusual, but still displaying that he was hungry. He became lethargic and again I thought well maybe it's the meds and antibiotics from the surgery. Although again in my gut feeling something was "OFF" about my lively, loving furbaby.

Blue Buffalo meat comes from China. Blue Buffalo dog food killed 2 of my dogs. There is not much more to write. This dog food has a high probability of making your dog sick and/or kill your dog.

I had to put my baby down yesterday. About a month ago he was showing signs of Cushing's disease. Drinking excessively, having accidents in the house, and severe back leg weakness. After tests confirmed a pituitary mass, I wanted to give him what I thought was the best food to help him gain his strength back. I switched him to BB Wilderness Holistic, senior formula. He just turned 13 on the 12th of November, but he was still very strong and full of energy prior to the Cushing's. After about a week on the BB, he developed very loose stools. I started mixing rice and yogurt in with the BB to try to help him. The stools got looser and looser until he was passing nothing but water. He was getting weaker, and I knew he had to be dehydrated, so I brought him to the vet for fluids. She also sent him home with an antibiotic for whatever was causing the diarrhea.

My husband and I have been spending hundreds of dollars taking our dog to the vet over the last couple of months as he's had several bouts of dry heaving followed by throwing up. He's been put on anti-nausea meds, antibiotics, and a prescription wet food. He would get better for a couple of days, until we'd finish the course of meds and wet food and then start him back on his BB - Sensitive Formula. Soon after, he'd start the dry heaving and vomiting again. Since he's been eating BB for over two years now, we didn't think it could be his food. However, after reading these reviews and realizing the pattern, we have switched him to another kibble altogether. It's been a week now and he has not thrown up. Hopefully, we are done with this ordeal! I am so frustrated that more is not being done to make Blue Buffalo address these concerns.

I have two dogs who have been fed BB for about 6 years. We started with the Venison, until they had a recall on that one, then we changed to Duck. They did fine up until about 3 months ago. Then started the vomiting, runny stools, and weight loss in my Staffordshire Terrier. Took them to the Vet, who knows we feed BB. He is the one that told me he was seeing lots of patients with BB having these issues. Stopped feeding BB and 1 week later, no more symptoms. I used to tell EVERYONE to buy BB, now I tell them to NOT buy BB. I called to complain, but was told there had not been any changes to the product. I could return it to the store for a refund, which I did.

Having the same problems as everyone else. Dogs have been on Blue for years but I am changing ASAP after reading this. I lost 2 dogs to bad dog food years ago and switched to Blue because I thought they were one of the best foods around -- guess all of these dog food companies are the same. I have 4 rescues and keep my son's dog when he is out of town and I can barely afford Blue -- I don't know what to buy now. All of the dogs have ear infections and are scratching and biting their feet and will not eat the food--these guys usually cannot get enough to eat. Something is going on and the only thing it can be is food -- no mites, no mange, one is on allergy medication, but the other 3 have never had problems. Someone please let me know what dog food to buy that is safe and reasonably priced? Thanks.

I'm starting to think the cause of my cats recent symptoms might be caused from blue buffalo indoor and salmon flavored kibble. One of my four cats recently died from lymphoma. It was then I really started researching the types of foods we were feeding them. I heard a lot about grains and how bad they were so I decided I would no longer feed them crappy foods especially ones with grain. I switched the can food right away and the hard kibble slowly. We tried all of the grain free blue buffalo can food but they wouldn't touch them. They did however eat the hard indoor cat food at first but not a lot of it so I bought the salmon flavor and they ate that one for a while also.

We spent extra money on the Blue puppy chow aka "the good stuff". Over the last two weeks he has been getting diarrhea, vomiting (phlegm) and not eating. He kind of picks at the food but will eat very little. I started making him a little gravy by adding water to it and he will eat a little more if I do that but not like he usually does. I figured it is because he is teething and the kibble hurt his mouth but I started researching because he really wants nothing to do with his food. My searches included terms like 'my dog doesn't like his Blue food', things like that. I thought maybe he is just bored with the Blue. That is when I found the other reviews describing the same symptoms as other dogs. HORRIFYING. I couldn't imagine our little puppy dying! I called the store where we got it (Tractor Supply) and told them to look into the reviews online and to consider pulling it even though there is no recall. It would be the right thing to do....Anyway, I will switch my puppy to another brand and hope we have better luck. Some people have posted that their pet now has neurological damage - I hope we caught this in time.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon - I had been feeding my mastiff Blue Buffalo adult and senior, but because she's been troubled with ear infections (probably yeast), I switched to the grain free variety. I began by giving her about 1/2 cup Wilderness/2 cups of the other and gradually increased the proportions. As soon as we went past 1/2 and 1/2 she started getting diarrhea. She was getting up in the night, having accidents during the day - this dog was completely housebroken and now poops in her room every day. I've had her on rice with a little pumpkin the past 3 days and she's still got really soft smelly poops. I talked to a very nice woman at Blue Buffalo today and she said "oh yeah- because Wilderness is so high in fat and protein, it's not unusual for dogs to get diarrhea from it." Now really! I've looked all over the bag and I don't see any warning about this happening. And what kind of food is sold with the company knowing that it can make your dog sick? I'm very disappointed in this brand of dog food and I'm not buying it again. I hope I can get my dog to stop having diarrhea one of these days.

I have been a customer of Blue Buffalo for over a year now. Initially, I began to feed my black Labs Life Protection Formula with Chicken and Brown Rice after receiving a recommendation that they'd do well with it. They loved the food. However, my dogs occasionally have allergy-related skin problems. As a precautionary means, we decided to cut commercial grain from their diet and switched both of them over to Blue Buffalo's Basics with Turkey and Potato. Up until this point, I have been very happy with the food.

Our 8 yr. old GSD was on BB Salmon Dry food for a long time. In August 2013 we found that she had pancreatic cancer.....very rare in GS dogs. For about 10 days we fed her every 2 hours around the clock to keep her blood sugar up. 2 weeks after we found out she had developed cancer, we had to put her down. I am wondering now if it was the food she was eating....she was only 9 yrs. old.

I could tell when I opened the blue bag of Blue Buffalo Weight Management/Indoor dry for cats that it had been changed. Visually the food looks different, the pellets are smaller than before. My 10-year-old has eaten this food for a several years now, as well as Fancy Feast in the evening. Over the weekend, she has developed bad diarrhea. She will still eat some of the Fancy Feast, but will not touch this dry food. She seems to know which one is causing the problem. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow. I hope the food is not flat-out POISONED like the Iams situation we had a few years ago, when many pets were lost.

I have been feeding my 10yr Boxer/mix the Blue Basics Salmon and potato because he has a sensitive stomach and was always chewing on his feet. He has been on it for approx two weeks. I did a 7-day change over from Pedigree dog food I thought was too cheap and causing his problems. I researched dog foods and this came highly recommended so I thought I would spend the extra money on a new dog food. Since he has been on it, he poops a lot and it is getting softer and he drinks a ton of water! No diarrhea, but he has so much gas, farts all the time and man do they smell.

Our 13 year old black lab has been on BB Fish and Sweet Potato for at least the past 4 years and has loved it. Six weeks ago he had his annual check up including blood tests. All was fine - no problems at all. Two weeks after his check up I noticed a lump on his belly that had suddenly appeared. Our vet removed it and sent it in for analysis. It was cancerous and our vet said it was an aggressive cancer. Our boy recovered just fine and then two weeks ago his health started slipping fast - being lethargic, depressed, etc and suddenly had no interest in eating his BB. We attributed it to the cancer.

We have been using Blue Buffalo Dry Food Senior for years with our older dogs, beagles. Our oldest passed last year from a tumor on his liver. He was 16, so we did not think much of; he had a happy life and no other major illnesses. 3 years ago, we rescued another beagle and started him on adult BB. He was 1 1/2 when we found him. About 3 weeks ago we woke up to our young one vomiting. It was all food and toy stuffing, apparently he had woken up and started to tear apart a toy and had eaten the stuffing. He vomited 5 times in 2 hours and wanted to lick everything in sight during this period.

My puppy is thriving on Blue Buffalo! She transitioned from Science Diet at four (4) month which required a handful of the newly introduced dog food being mixed into the familiar dog food. She's strong and active with a beautiful coat. Her stools are consistently solid and she is eating twice a day and having bowel movements 2-3 times per day.

Recently Blue Buffalo announced that some ingredients sourced by them from the Texas facility of supplier Wilbur-Ellis contained poultry by-product meal. This contradicts Blues product labels and advertising claims that its products do not have these ingredients. This is misleading consumers who are trusting them to be concerned for their pets well being. Shame on them!

We have 2 almost six year old Yorkies. They have been eating Blue Buffalo since they were born. We kept them on the food based on the recommendations of the people we got the dogs from. A few months ago, I read some negative press about BB, but ignored it because our dogs were healthy. I purchased a bag of senior food on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 from Petco. On Monday November 3rd, Zeek slept in. He is usually up, as soon as our 3 year old is up. I let he and his brother outside, but Zeek did not go down the stairs to do his business. He came in and brushed up against my 3 year old and just cried.

After trying other brands & bombing out (cat either would not eat it or was allergic with skin itching), I saw Blue Buffalo had a new product, BB Basics Duck dry cat food, so I got it. Cat liked it & didn't get sick, but his skin itched (allergic). So, after that bag ran out, I bravely went back to BBB Turkey & Potato (dry), hoping the situation was fixed. YEA!!! My cat loves it, and no diarrhea!! Also, his coat is smooth and shiny again! A note to dear Blue Buffalo: Thank you for fixing the problem - please be careful - my kitty & I really need and appreciate your cat food! I recommend this cat food, but mistakes do happen.

Last Sunday, I opened a new bag of Blue Buffalo puppy food. This food looked different than the food I had been feeding my dog. The next day, my 7 month old 6lb shorkie had soft stools and diarrhea. This has been going on for 6 days now. I am in the process of switching his food over to Natures Valley Instinct Raw Boost food. I will never buy Blue Buffalo food or treats again.

I have used BB since bringing our pup home nearly 10 months ago. At first I was so happy with how well he ate, even talked my mom to switching her dogs with no problems. But the last bag I bought at our local Tractor Supply was powdery and crushed. But still had some whole pieces. The dogs didn't want to, but eventually ate it. That's when the foamy mouth and vomiting and diarrhea started. I thought we just got a bad batch and bought more. It was not crushed or powdery but dogs still did not want it. Still showing symptoms and my mom's old English swelled to the point like he would burst after one small feeding. They are supervised and contained so I know it's not trash eating. It has to be the BB. I feel horrible now for feeding my babies this. Never again. I will save my 500$ a month and keep my pets alive.

I've been feeding my two kittens a combo of Blue Wilderness, Fancy Feast, Natural Choice and Science Diet canned foods since they were 6 weeks old. They get a variety of chicken, turkey, ocean whitefish and salmon. Both of them are in excellent health and are growing like weeds. Now that they're 7 months old, I read these reviews and can't figure out why they have none of these medical problems mentioned. I don't believe a poisonous product would be sold in stores, so I'm stumped.

We have fed our four dogs BB for the past year (2014). On November 3rd our oldest dog (14 yrs) became ill with vomiting and diarrhea. This was quickly followed by the same symptoms in our 9 year old and 7 year old dogs. When the youngest (3 years) started vomiting, we took them all to the vet. The oldest dog was so dehydrated, that she was kept overnight for IV fluids and meds. The others were treated at home. I went online to find out if BB has had any recent recalls. No recent recalls that I can find, but many others are experiencing the same problems that seem to be linked to this product.

I decided to write a complaint after reading Tammy's comments about Anna. What a beautiful cat--- and, so young--- like my cat. Please read below:

My poor cat Tybee is in the Emergency Vet now for 3 days with a catheter. He had a urinary blockage and couldn't urinate. This is a very serious condition and he might not make it. I have had several conversations with more than 1 vet about this. They told me that the food is the problem. I protested and defended Blue Buffalo (Wilderness) food saying it was a good, grain-free food. Yesterday after another talk with the vet treating my cat, I was convinced the food is the problem. She said they have seen several cases like this from cats who eat Blue Buffalo food. Tybee had been throwing up for almost a week before we noticed the urinary problem. I have another female cat so last night, I returned all the unopened Blue canned and dry food I had. I had just bought them a few days ago and luckily hadn't opened them. The food I was using was the Blue Wilderness grain-free dry and an occasional can of their wet food.

I have read previous complaints and want all people reading this review to know how honest and genuine this post is.... Beware of this pet food! I feel awful right now, like I poisoned my kittens. On Friday Oct 31, 2014 I purchased 5 cans of Blue Wilderness kitten food from PetCo. I am writing this review on Wednesday November 5th. Since my purchase, the kittens have consumed a total of two and a half cans of the wet kitty food (half can mixed with dry food different brand in PM). This morning I noticed a single drop of blood on the ground. Closer exam confirmed blood with mucous. Saw kitten go the bathroom and what ran out of his backside shocked me. A tan, loose substance with blood in it.

I have a pet charity I founded almost 30 years ago and have been using Blue for a few years now. In an effort to research possible causes for seizures to help one of our rescues, I learned that Rosemary extract (which Blue uses in all of their kibble) is a neurotoxin which can cause seizures. The phone number on their bags and website just rings and there is no way I found to speak to anyone. I also sent emails. Over a week later I did get a hold of someone who could not offer any information on the safety of Rosemary. For a company that seems to now be spending so much on advertising, one would hope they would be as eager to offer decent customer support. It is no wonder discerning stores like Pet Food Express are pulling Blue from their inventory. I returned my last bag. The fact that they also didn't offer any perks for non profit pet charities doesn't help much either, but we were willing to pay top dollar for the best food that our dogs would eat. We have switched to Natural Balance (very rescue friendly) and 1st Mate (grain free and no rosemary extract).

I am disturbed after reading the other recent posts. I have two dogs - a lab mix and a shepherd mix. I have been feeding the Blue Wilderness Chicken Recipe for about a year now with no problems. However, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, each of them began vomiting and having diarrhea within two days of each other. I thought it may be a virus of some sort but threw their food out anyway and put them on rice and chicken. I just bought another huge bag of the Chicken Recipe formula a couple of days ago and tonight the lab got sick again in the same way-- vomiting and diarrhea. After reading these posts I am afraid it may be the food and am throwing it out immediately. I already wrote the company but wanted to let others know this is happening.

I bought my Bulldog 2 years ago. From the beginning, I purchased high end dog food for her. She was a wonderful dog. I maintained her healthy weight by feeding her 1 cup of dry dog food twice a day. She grew to a healthy 50 lbs. After 1 year, I gradually switched to Blue Buffalo dog food as I saw an ad on TV promoting the benefits of this type of food. Izzy begin to cough up in the evening after we went to bed. Every morning I found a pile of regurgitated dog food. I thought she just was getting into something outside or from one of her doggy toys. I took all her toys away. Her vomiting continued and then she began having butt rubbing on the floor. I took her to the vet, who said she had rectal glands clogged up. We medicated her for this. It seemed to help some, but not completely.

Our 4 year old black lab has eaten blue buffalo her entire life without issues. Two weeks ago we purchased a new bag at petsmart and our Hurley was hesitant to eat it (& she's a hefty eater). She finally gave in and ate about four/five servings of food. Over the next week she began pooping mucousy muck, spinning her bottom on the carpet, drinking an extreme amount of water, wheezing & dry heaving and having accidents on the carpet (which hasn't happened in yrs)!! I took her to the vet last Monday and our vet found nothing and said it was a gastrointestinal upset. He told me that if she didn't feel better to bring her back in a week for more tests. Well she felt better for about 3 days but still had an aversion to the blue buffalo, eating only small amounts here and there. Thinking she basically had a stomach ache we continued to try and get her to eat BB.

I started my Corgi puppy on Blue Puppy Dry Food 1 month ago. I did a slow transition onto this food. My puppy started losing weight and had constant diarrhea. I was feeding him the maximum amount (to try to put weight on him) spread over 3 meals and he would have diarrhea at least 5-7 times a day. He would also drink the entire bowl of water when drinking, never just a small drink. It was just running through him without any nutritional absorption. I bought a new food today and pray it works for him. For this price tag, I was expecting much more.

I had switched to BB since my Pom/Chi seemed to have a food allergy and was told this was good for such. I am no longer employed and tried to switch to Rachel Ray's brand. Within a week my pom started w/ diarrhea then bloody diarrhea. No money for a vet and talked w/ a rep from BB at Petsmart said that I should switch to BB small breed lamb. I did so and she got better. My Pom is 4 yrs old and it has me concerned. I am now trying to introduce her to a grain free Petsmart brand Simply Nourish. I don't like the idea that something could be formulated to keep you locked into one specific brand.

This summer one of Pugs got very sick, head ticks, and vomiting, and diarrhea. We waited till the morning called our vet and took him in. They suggested we bring him to an Emergency Animal Hospital in the area. After 4 days of treatment going from Emergency vets to Neurologist and back, our Pug was put to sleep.This cost was over 5 thousand dollars. Early Sept. we took a trip Wa state to visit our oldest daughter and family, and we took our other pug. After two weeks there our second pug became ill, could not walk, could not keep his balance, had eye ticks (eyes twitching) vomiting and diarrhea.

A week after weaning my dog onto this food the liquid stools/diarrhea came along. All of a sudden he refused to eat the food. Switched back to what I had fed him before, and problems cease. Wish I had done more research before than taking word mouth. No animal should be put through what this food is doing to them.

Last year, my now 9 year old Pug Suzie had 10 bladder stones surgically removed. The veterinarian sold me a certain brand of dog food meant to prevent urinary tract infections and bladder stones that had grain in it. After researching on the web, I changed Suzie's diet to certain top rated grain-free dry dog food. When we moved, it was difficult to find the brand we started with, so a couple of months ago, we switched to BB Wilderness Salmon Diet. Every day Suzie wolfed down the BB food, barely chewing it. It seemed to be the best food she had ever eaten by her reaction.

I have fed Bella, my 5 year old Yellow Lab, Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken & Rice Formula for the last 3 years without incident. The last bag purchased in September has me suspecting something is wrong with her food. At first, when she began having terrible gas, I never connected it with the food. Then, she began having bouts of terrible mucus filled diarrhea along with vomiting. Her energy level was completely down and she seemed somewhat depressed (I don't know if dogs get depressed). Initially I was figured she either got a little bug or ate some grass.

I have a German short haired pointer puppy that I switched to the BB large breed puppy food. One day later he was barfing up his food and he has had diarrhea ever since and that was four days ago. All the food ended up on the floor in a pile of barf. I hate this because we all love our dogs and we want the best for them but when it's a problem with the "good" dog food that we get for them it hurts that we trusted them and they let us down and our dogs too. DON'T GET THIS TYPE OF FOOD.

water while her coat was sparse and dry and her skin was irritated. They both also frequently vomited the dry food. I took them off the Blue Buffalo dry food while keeping them both on the same Fancy Feast wet food. Within a week the male cat's cystitis had begun to clear up as well as his dandruff and drooling both were less. The female's coat and skin problems are also much better and she is gaining weight and no longer drinking water excessively. No other changes except removing BB and they both continue to improve. I will never buy this food again.

Last night I gave my sweet boy half a can of Blue Buffalo flaked fish dinner. Within 20 minutes he had puked it up, was retching, crouching with diarrhea and crying in pain. I sat with him for more than an hour until it seemed that he got it all out of his little body. I took him to the vet this morning and they were not at all surprised that it was Blue Buffalo food that made him sick. I am waiting for blood results, but as of now, I will never feed him any Blue Buffalo products ever again. If this is such a trend, this company needs to be shut down!

I've used Blue Buffalo dry for quite some time, mixing it with Fromms. I recently got some coupons from Blue Buffalo, one of which was for a free can of wet food. I opened it last night and it smelled a bit sour. I should have thrown it out then but it was well within the "Best By" date. Anyway, I always mix yogurt, beans, peas or carrots, a little "wet" food and some dry Blue Buffalo. This time for the first time I mixed a tablespoon of the Blue Buffalo wet food.

We have two dogs. Previously just 1 American Bully who we started on BB brand per Petco's recommendation. He was fine up until recently. Our second puppy (mini schnoodle) is just new to the family, has been with us about a month. We noticed our Bully (10 mos) was having frequent loose stools and sometimes worse than others but attributed it to him sniffing and eating something he wasn't supposed to as puppies sometimes do. The schnoodle transitioned to BB puppy food fine. This last bag (the largest) we bought at Petco three weeks ago has caused both dogs to vomit immediately after eating the first batch. My Bully began wheezing and dry heaving and vomiting a yellowish white foam for a day straight.

I got my puppy, Dale, eight weeks old, a couple weeks ago. I bought a small 6 lbs bag of BB small breed puppy chicken and oatmeal exactly a week ago. As soon as I brought it home and gave it to him he chowed down and acted like he loved it. The bag recommends only giving him 1/2 cup a day since he is only 5-10 lbs. What's odd though is he acted like he was starving every time I went to give him a scoop, and would barely let me even get it out of my hand so I've been giving him just a little bit more the past couple days and this morning I woke up to a couple piles of watery mucous looking poop, almost like a tan-clear color.

They will probably remove this as soon as they read it since I'm not here to bash a food or try to scare people away from a certain brand, but here goes. I do a TON of rescue work and this is totally my go to food. I have NEVER had an issue with any of the different formulas I have tried. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews on here, but when I read them, it suddenly made sense. I've seen tons of people complaining about almost the exact same thing. At 1st they start off with the puppy food which is chicken and rice and the puppy does really well. But when the dog reaches a year old, or a year and a half they swap to adult food, SALMON adult food. No wonder they have problems! They got the puppy's system really settled onto chicken, chicken and more chicken, then suddenly throw a ton of salmon at him. They are already changing the formula a bit going from puppy to adult, why would you also swap what meat protein they are eating at the exact same time?

I switched my dog (a toy australian shepherd 1 year old) over to blue buffalo wilderness with red meat a little over 2 weeks ago. She was fine for about the first 3 days then began having horrible diarrhea. I took her to the vet & was told nothing was wrong & we should give antibiotics & our dog should be fine. So we took her home & fasted for 24hrs then began introducing the food again. During the fast the diarrhea seemed to clear up until we introduced the food again! We decided to switch her back to her old food. The diarrhea again stopped. I think that there is a connection between Blue Buffalo & all the sick dogs out there! For everyone who has had the same problems or worse please contact Blue Buffalo so we can put an end to the sick dogs! Call 1-800-919-2833, they got back to when I left a message & want to make sure the dogs are okay, but they cannot do anything unless we all report what is happening to them, not just posting about it on the Internet! Help other dogs (:

I'm greatly concerned that I can find no posts or internet info on contemporary actions by Blue Buffalo, that would address what seem to be numerous and common complaints. The only recall addressed (that I've been able to find) was one concerning an excess of Vitamin D in three of Blue Buffalo's formulas back in 2010. There seems to be a weighty preponderance of anecdotal evidence amassing that there may be a more current issue to be addressed.

I had heard such good things about Blue Buffalo cat food, and the sensitive stomach one in particular. So, I decided to try it with my cats. I mixed it in so it was only 1/4 of the amount of food I was giving (quality dry foods). Within hours of eating the food with the BB mixed in, one of my cats started having issues, going in and out of the litter box repeatedly. Now I'm fasting her and hoping her system settles down soon since she only got the food for 2 days before I realized it was the cause. Nothing else had changed, she's a strictly indoor cat, and has no access to medicines, garbage, or chemicals because I'm extremely careful about that.

We thought that our 1 yr old dog was coming down with a virus or something when she started vomiting bile and having mucousy diarrhea. She was on their Rice & Chicken Puppy food purchased from Fleet Farm (and has been on it since she was 7 weeks old). Two days of rice water to thicken the stools, several days of rice and chicken diet to ease her stomach and then onto Blue Buffalo Basics (sensitive) Turkey & Potato Puppy to transition back to solids. The Basics sensitive variety is not available at Fleet Farm so I've gotten that at Pet Smart. After completing half the bag of Basics, I tried to transition her back onto the regular Puppy and she started getting sick again.

We had been advised by a Pet Smart associate that Blue Buffalo was the best dog food for our growing golden retriever puppy. We switched over to the Blue Buffalo salmon, grain free large breed dog food. First she avoided it, then within 4 days began puking bile. Thought maybe the mixed food to switch her over to this new food was doing it so just fed her the Blue Buffalo. Her puking worsened in frequency. We switched her off the Blue Buffalo & she's been fine ever since. I'd always believed Blue Buffalo was a superb product, so I hope you find the cause & fix it before too many dog illnesses, deaths & unhappy customers.

This past Saturday my beloved 3 year old Siamese Anna passed away. She began throwing up in the morning somewhere around 7 AM. She first emptied her stomach of the Blue Buffalo cat food she loved, ate all the time, and that we thought was healthy for our pets. She was diagnosed that day with pancreatitis and hepatic lipidosis. Her glucose level was 300. She was sick every 5 to 10 minutes at first with increasing frequency until it was green foam - filled with bile. She was hospitalized and I expected her to get better by Monday, but a little after 5 PM they called me to tell me she arrested when she attempted to vomit again.

Just bought a new bag of Blue Buffalo brown rice and chicken on October 11, 2014 and my 13 month old Keeshond only ate a little bit of the first meal from it and won't eat it again. He got a bout of diarrhea from the first feeding of it but won't touch it again. I thought he wasn't feeling well so I tried mixing it with brown rice which often works but he won't touch it. Of course I emptied that 65 dollar bag of food into a sealable bin and threw away the bag but I am more worried about the dog. This should not be that difficult for companies to make food that does not make dogs sick, maybe there needs to be better regulation. My dog is a hearty eater and clearly something is wrong here.

I have two cats. Smokey is a seven year old DSH/Russian Blue mix and Layla is a one year old tortie. Smokey has been having issues with vomiting and loose stools lately. I took him to the vet the day after the loose stool started, and the vet said he had a serious cavity. After looking up online, I learned that these can be symptoms of a cavity. I decided to try switching to Blue Buffalo canned to hopefully help with his symptoms. They are eating Iams Naturals chicken dry food (free-fed), and Friskies breakfast canned food in the morning and I tried Blue Buffalo canned food at night. Every time Smokey has had any kind of BB canned food, about 20 minutes later he is violently vomiting and has horrible gas. Layla seems to be fine. I am returning all of the BB canned food tomorrow and switching to another brand. The only thing that is different is the BB canned food. He is completely fine with every other brand so I know the only change is this.

I've been feeding my two male Pomeranians Blue Buffalo puppy food since 8 weeks old. All was well. They are now approaching 1 1/2 years old. I couldn't get the usual food at the store so I grabbed a bag of BB small bread healthy weight. Both dogs refused the food at first. I figured they just needed time to adjust. Eventually they gave in and ate the food. Everything seemed normal for about a week, until I noticed some stool variations that were unusual. Again, I attributed this to the food change.

My American Bulldog turned 1 recently so I switched him from Blue Large Breed Puppy Chicken dry food to the Large Breed Wilderness Salmon. Big mistake I guess. Even with slowly introducing the new food... after 3 weeks, he won't eat, what he does eat he throws up. He's completely lethargic and has been crying. No diarrhea yet - thank goodness. I pay a lot of money every month on this brand that is supposed to be good for our beloved pets. I am very upset. Beware all buyers.

After 4 years of buying Blue senior chicken and rice 30lb bag dog food... something changed with the last bag I purchased last week. Immediately after I bought it my dogs were both hesitant to eat it.. which I thought was strange. They did not touch it for over 24 hours which has never happened. My first suspicion was it was tainted with something. Dogs are very smart and have a great sense of smell. Then within hours of eating it both of my dogs had rumbling tummies and major diarrhea.

I order from chewy.com. My dogs have been on BB limited ingredient and/or their Freedom Grain-Free. I received this new bag of natural beef recipe for dogs with LifeSource bits. The first day, my black lab/shar-pei/pit bull mix's face swelling up. I took her off the food immediately. Our other dog, a German Shepherd/shar-pei mix began having diarrhea and tummy rumblings. When Daisy got over the face swelling, we tried the food again and she began throwing up. Now, my dogs have rarely in the last six years had accidents in the house, but one dog vomited in the house and the other left a puddle of diarrhea. I gave this food a week since they both kept eating it. But am not feeding it to them anymore.

Blue Buffalo Basic Salmon - Have fed this for years, the last two bags, my dogs have been not wanting to eat and then started to throw up and having watery mustard stools. My poor babies tried to tell me it was bad! I will be taking it back to the store.

I have 2 Labrador Retriever pups (5 months old) who have been on Blue Buffalo since I got them at 8 weeks. One of the pups has a more sensitive system than the other. He's had a few bouts of diarrhea and vomiting over the last 3 months. Vet checks have all been fine. My thought was maybe his treats weren't agreeing so I've switched those around. Not much change. The other pup, however, has had several bouts of gas since 8 weeks old and until today, no diarrhea or vomiting. (BTW, these issues never came up with our 9 year old lab who always ate blue buffalo life protection).

I opened a new bag of Blue Buffalo Small Breed Healthy Weight kibble last Monday, October 6th to feed my two shelties, age 9 and 6. On Tuesday morning, I found vomit in the 9 year old's crate. He also had bloody diarrhea. He refused to eat his breakfast and dinner. On Wednesday, the 6 year old sheltie had the same symptoms. Both were taken to the vet who found no parasites, bacteria or viral cause for their conditions. They are on medication for nausea and diarrhea for 7 days. Both are on a bland diet of chicken and rice until their symptoms are gone. The vet thinks they ingested contaminated food. A younger sheltie in the house eats a different Blue Buffalo kibble formula and he has experienced no symptoms. I have called Blue Buffalo and left a message for them to call me. I will switch all three dog to a brand of kibble I can trust - either Purina or Iams, as I know they thoroughly test their ingredients and food in their own facilities.

I had been feeding my Cocker Spaniel and Yorkie Blue Buffalo Senior Chicken and Rice canned food along with Life Protection Formula Senior Dry Food for the past 3 years with no issues. In fact they both became much healthier, leaner, and their coats improved greatly within a month of starting them on Blue. I should add I was also employed by Blue for a year so I was very familiar with their products as well as their corporate arrogance. I continued to buy Blue after leaving the company because I felt it was by far the highest quality product available. Approximately 6 weeks ago both of my babies started acting lethargic and both had terrible gas with explosive diarrhea and vomiting. I fed them a diet of chicken breasts and white rice for a little over a week and they were back to normal with solid stools and normal energy. I put them back on Blue and within 3 days they were having diarrhea and were both vomiting again.

I diligently researched the best Puppy food for my new Boxer. I found raving reviews on every site for Blue Buffalo. I purchased two 30 lbs. bags of life protection formula large breed puppy food from PetSmart. He has been on the food for almost a month now. He has diarrhea, horrible gas, stomach rumbling, growling, and watery goopy eyes. It has been hard getting him to even eat the food. I took him to the vet. The first thing she asked was what food we were feeding him. She confirmed my suspicions, it was his food. I thought I was paying top price for top quality, I guess I was wrong this time. All I can say is buyer beware.

I came to this site because my mother's friend's dogs had become sick and after talking with her vet, they decided Blue Buffalo was the cause. Knowing that we use Blue Buffalo (Healthy Weight Chicken and Rice) she was concerned for our pup and wanted me to do some research, which brought me here. After reading many of these reviews, and knowing that people mainly write reviews when something has gone wrong, I thought I should write a positive one since we have not had any issues. We have been feeding our three year old mutt, Dottie, Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula (chicken and rice) since she was around 6 months old with no issues. She does not love the small, black Life Protection bits, and often leaves several of them on the floor outside of her bowl, but what kid eats all of their veggies all the time? The only times she has been sick over the past few years, we could trace it back to eating garbage off the street (city life can be tough sometimes), cat food, or our friend's dog's food while we were on vacation. Every dog is different, and my heart goes out to those of you who have sick animals, but Blue Buffalo has worked just fine for us.

My 9 month old doll faced Persian has been on no other food other than Wellness, until the last 3 weeks when I tried a bag of Blue Buffalo Dry for kittens. He is now in the animal hospital with a UTI, swollen kidneys and may not live. Thanks Blue Buffalo for making an optimal product for our animals!! Some things in life are more important than the All Mighty Dollar!!! I hope you sleep well knowing how many sick animals are out there because of your product!!!

Have been feeding my 5 dogs Blue Buffalo Senior for several years but recently, last 2 bags my pack look at me hesitantly before they eat, if they eat at all. Recent bouts of diarrhea, horrible gas, stomach rumbling and growling, scooching and spinning 360's on the carpet, and vomiting. What in the heck is going on? Recently added to this list, watery goopy eyes, foamy mouth or drooling and lethargy. Thought they may have gotten into something or contracted a new virus but was talking to a friend who feeds his dog exact same food. He said his dog has had more gas than normal, acting like he doesn't feel well and had recently had seizures!

I have three dogs: a Maltese, a miniature schnauzer, and an American bulldog. My Maltese and schnauzer were on Purina dog chow and my American bulldog puppy was eating Blue Buffalo puppy food. All was well with the world. My American bulldog is now 1 and it was time to switch her over to adult food. Since I was told Blue Buffalo was the better food over Purina dog chow, I decided to switch all dogs to Blue Buffalo chicken flavor dry kibble. Big mistake. All three of my dogs had a severe case of diarrhea within a couple of feelings and got worse as the days went on. I was told that sometimes dogs need time to adjust (I didn't switch them cold turkey, I gradually changed the food) and to try another week or so.

Wilderness Chicken Grain Free - I purchased this food with high hopes. In the past we have feed our dogs Blue Buffalo products without any issues. In this case we changed from Nature's Recipe Grain Free Chicken Sweet Potato and Pumpkin because our dog was a poop machine so I thought a food with less fiber would be better. After 48 hours, our Lab mix developed a severe case of diarrhea. Since the only thing new that changed was the food, we immediately changed back to the Nature's Recipe and lo and behold the diarrhea was gone. I attempted to return the unused amount of food to PetSmart without any luck because I didn't have the bag. I emailed Blue Buffalo and they advised that they don't provide product refunds. So much for standing behind your product. I did some checking on the internet and found numerous posts from people who encountered the same problem with this food. I do not recommend this product at all.

Feeding two dogs their food....On their plate we found a big chunk of metal inside of their kibble!

I adopted my dog about 3 weeks ago and was feeding her kibbles and bits. Upon the recommendation of our doggie daycare place I weened her into Blue Buffalo. She has had serious serious diarrhea and it seems I am not the only one. This dog food was expensive and it has caused me hours and hours cleaning up after her. I also stayed home from work one day because it was so bad. I feel terrible I bought the BB and am going to try my best to get her right. I am going to try and return this bad but I don't know how that is going to go.

I have four male cats. One of them has been sensitive to dry food but I wanted them to have something crunchy for their teeth so I bought blue buffalo sensitive stomach for my two younger cats. One developed urinary cystitis a couple months later and cost $1000 in vet bills. After a few weeks of only wet food I began giving him the dry food again and the symptoms came back but since the vet said it was probably stress from my other cat who picks on him, I separated him and had to go through the whole vet process again. Now it's been about a month since them on only prescribed wet food and he is doing great but my other younger cat had continued taking the buffalo blue dry food and he is now have the same urinary problems. I'm not sure it's the food just yet but that seems to be the common factor. Paying more for "quality" brand cat food on top of all these vet bills and I'm pissed! I don't know who to trust anymore.

I had a 9 year old black lab female. Notice I said had. On September 30 of 2014 she had to be put to sleep. I originally fed her California Natural haring for 8 years and never had any health issues whatsoever. We moved and I could only get BB or Purina. I wished I would have gotten Purina instead. Long story short, my lab was eating BB wilderness haring. About a month ago she started to not eat as much. After I took my dog to the vet she had developed a massive tumor on her liver! WTF! She went from perfectly healthy to a tumor the size of a bowling ball in about a week. After reading all the reviews I truly believe that BB took my best friend from me!

We have a 45 pound Shepherd mix who is now 7 months old. His food was running low and our local store was waiting on a large bag shipment. I purchased a 5 pound bag of the Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice to hold us over into the next week. What a bad idea. He was fine for the first day or so and once the weekend hit so did the diarrhea, vomiting and overall little to no energy. We didn't think it was the food and continued to feed it to him until Monday. He barely had any kind of appetite to eat the helping of food we gave him, he drank lots of water but still had very bad diarrhea and no energy. We cooked up a bunch of white rice and boiled chicken and fed that to him all day long yesterday. He woke up this morning with his puppy energy and appetite back! I hope this didn't happen to many dogs and hope something is done about this very soon!

I purchase various flavors and yes, sometimes if I give them Wilderness their stools are not as solid as on the Life Protection Formulas. I hope that Blue food is not responsible for all the sick dogs. I read these reviews and I do not think that you can blame food for everything (seizures or intestinal blockage, etc.) I mean just like humans, dogs unfortunately get sick. It's not necessarily because of the food you are feeding them. I have to believe that if ALL these dogs were getting sick because of the food, the FDA would get involved and there would be a recall, just like Natural Balance, Purina, Wellness, Taste of the Wild, Diamond, EVO, California Natural, Nutro, etc.

After the big dog died and we got another Chihuahua mix, we switched to Blue. The 13-year-old pup now acts like a new puppy, jumping around and playing like our 2-year-old pup. We are so happy we switched from Kibbles and Bits.

I got a 9.2 wk old Mini Schnauzer the end of June. The breeder had him on Purina Puppy Chow. When he was about 12 wks old I put him on Blue Wilderness Puppy Grain Free thinking this would be good for him. He always has loose stools and often diarrhea. His gas is constant and smells like cooked cabbage. It is almost impossible to get him house trained. My other 2 dogs are adults and they are a Yorkie and a Westie mix. They are on the adult BW with Salmon. They are constantly pooping in the house now because the puppy has been. I'm ready to pull my hair out.

I have two large dogs, 60lbs and 75lbs. One is a German Shepherd mix and the other is a Golden mix. They have been on Blue Buffalo for 3 years with no problems. Recently bought a new large bag of BB Chicken w/ Rice, Senior. Diarrhea for the Shepherd started shortly thereafter. Went on bland home cooked chicken and rice, and occasional scoop of pumpkin, diarrhea went away. Started back with BB, Three meals in and explosive diarrhea, watery mucosa, and a rumbling stomach that would rival dumb and dumber. Blood work and stool were negative... Been up with doggie with diarrhea all night. Shepherd is turning his nose up to the BB, won't eat it. He just devoured a bowl of rice and boiled beef, so it's not his appetite. Something is awry with BB... Time to find another dog food brand that hasn't been bought out and subsequently "cheapened out". Hoping for a healthy dog in a few days... This is not a fake posting...

We just had to take our 5 year old black lab to the vet, because she had an episode of explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea, followed by bloody stools the next morning. They determined that the problem was Clostridium. As a senior undergraduate, majoring in biology and minoring in both animal science and microbiology, I just HAD to do a bit of reading about her diagnosis. We have been feeding her Blue Buffalo Wilderness (Salmon flavor) for over a year now without any interruptions, or major complaints. However, upon reading about the possible origins of this type of illness, I was quickly able to narrow down the potential source of transmission for our girl. We are very careful about keeping her surroundings healthy, and it had even been several days since we had last been to the dog park before this all happened.

My 5-year-old Boston has been on Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice for 3 years with no problems. I bought a new bag last week and he immediately began vomiting and had bloody diarrhea. Two trips to the vet, $595.00 and 6 lbs later, he is slowly recovering. I have switched his food and will never buy Blue again! I don't think it is a coincidence that numerous dogs have had the same issues in the last 9 months and some have died. Blue Buffalo has changed their formula recently and appears to be to the detriment of the innocent animals who cannot speak for themselves.

I purchased Wilderness Blue for my wonderful 8-month-old German Shepherd "Bes". It was recommended by two of his trainers. Immediately both my wife and I noticed a change in his stool. I mixed it gradually with his previous food and he developed diarrhea! I'm so glad that I didn't purchase a large bag of Wilderness Blue. I feel this company needs to respond to all the complaints!

I have four Maltese and one cat. Two months ago, I switched my dogs from Pedigree dog food to Blue Buffalo and six weeks ago my smallest dog whose 5 pounds started having seizures so I took her to the vet. I continued to give her the Blue Buffalo and so far she's had three more seizures so I took her back to the vet. They did a liver test and her liver enzymes were elevated showing liver damage. She is 4 and has NEVER had any medical problems until now.

I recently changed dog food for my 5-year-old Black Lab from Natural Balance to Blue Buffalo dry food. My husband and I were buying Natural Balance for about 2 years, but switched to Blue Buffalo one month ago after hearing how great it is on TV (big mistake). Yesterday around 6am my dog started vomiting while laying on his bed. He stood up and vomited again, then walked a few feet and vomited again. Right after that he collapsed and laid there lifeless for a few seconds. He then lifted his head and just laid there alert. This was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. My dog is my baby. I noticed he also pooped while laying down.

I usually get Max Cat cat food for my eight cats, but the Pet Sense where I buy it at was out so I decided to get some of the blue buffalo canned cat food. I mix the canned food that my cats eat for breakfast with some nutritional supplements like shark cartilage and Kyo Green and I'm so glad I do! In the "Blue Buffalo Savory Seafood Stew" I saw a little blue something in the food as I was mixing it with the supplements. I pulled it out, washed it off and unrolled it. It looked to be a piece of blue rubber. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it came from an inspector's glove. It was about an inch long.

About 8 months ago my dog got sick and had intestinal blockage ground up bones. My dog only eats Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice, no snacks, milk bones, people food, etc. When I first spoke to customer service they stated they use ground bones in the food. Of course they later denied it. I sent my vet's report, x-rays, etc to them. They said it showed food indiscretion but no correlation to their product. For their clueless vet and legal dept my dog ate nothing but their product. Avoid this inferior product at gourmet prices.

About a month ago my husband and I came upon an 8-week-old healthy baby bengal kitten. The woman I received her from was feeding her frisks wet food and sent me home with a few cans. Being that this food was adult cat food I went the very next morning and purchased her Blue Buffalo's Blue Wilderness Kitten. She ate very healthily and has doubled in size in the last 4 weeks of her joining our family. About a week ago to our horror, our very playful sweet kitten started seizing, it was absolutely awful. Our vet (who is a great family friend for many years, was even a guest at my wedding and was almost my father-in-law's brother-in-law about 40 years ago) said we should ignore this one as she is so young and may have just been over excited. Yesterday my nieces were playing with her and a more violent seizure occurred to which we took her to the vet immediately.

About two months ago we switched our senior dog to blue buffalo with the intent of giving her the best food she could possibly have. We followed all the instructions for properly switching to a new food, etc. We'd noticed she urinated more frequently, but equated that to her age. Then over the past week she started having diarrhea, urinated even more frequently and today she had lots of blood in her urine. We just took her to the vet and learned that it could be the food we were feeding her. After reading all the reviews, I'm convinced Blue Buffalo food is the culprit. Our poor dog is so very sick right now and is on a 7 day course of antibiotics. I'm very disappointed in Blue Buffalo and have just alerted all my friends to the problems it's caused my dog. My recommendation to all is, do not purchase this food for your pet.

Our American Bulldog mix just turned 9 years old and has been eating Eukanuba his entire life. Since he's getting older I thought it may be time to put him on a senior, more natural food diet and after talking to our local pet store we decided to go with Blue Buffalo.

We have been using Blue Buffalo exclusively for 10 years for both our black lab and our cat. We have been happy until recently. Our dog began drooling and vomiting, and proceeded to refuse to eat. Our cat had been losing weight. He was eating however. We thought he was losing weight because of it being summer time and just wasn't eating as much. I noticed he too was now vomiting.

Wow, reading all of these comments make sense. Just switched my Pit mix over from Ultra Max Fish Meal for Sensitive Stomach to Blue Basic for Sensitive Stomach 2 days ago. It's not digesting at all. She is throwing up all of it hours later. Taking it back and going back to Utra Max. Just trying to save a dollar is making her sick. No more Blue in our house. P.S. she eats some, walks away, & goes back. Must not smell right. For anyone else with a dog sensitive to food, go all fish products. It WAS working until now!

Started giving my 18 yr old cat blue buffalo treats & for the first time in her life, she got diarrhea. Stopped giving her the treats & she is fine now.

We have a four-month-old Golden Retriever puppy named Chance. I used up a good portion of our phone data plan doing extensive research on the best dog foods for our new family member. After discussing it with a manager at a Petco I decided to buy "one of the best dog foods on the market". Blue Buffalo Large Breed Puppy Life Protection Formula was not appealing to Chance from the very beginning. He picked at his food and seemed very reluctant to eat much at a time. His diarrhea was awful, runny and his foul gas has been almost unbearable.

Very disappointed in the blue buffalo brand. We recently just adopted a puppy and were set on feeding him the best. So we purchased blue and have had nothing but problems. We have been feeding him blue for 4 weeks and he has nothing but diarrhea. He has been to the vet 3 times and everything checks out; no worms, no parasites, normal temp. We couldn't figure it out until I started reading other consumer reviews. This far have spent over a grand on vet visits all due to feeding our puppy what we thought was "the best". Turns out blue buffalo did nothing but make him sick as a dog, literally. Very, very disappointed seeing as how blue should stand up to word that they have "quality" food. Will never advise anyone to feed their pet blue again.

I have a 3 year old male tabby that has been on BB for approximately 4 months. He has just been diagnosed with excessive struvite Crystals in his bladder. He had his yearly exam 3 months ago and not a crystal or issue was found. My vet has informed me that it was her 3rd male tabby in just a couple of weeks that have been diagnosed the same and all were on diets of Blue Buffalo Freedom. I am not positive at this point that the food is the cause, but I did want to bring it to attention. My Cat now will be on a special Veterinarian prescribed diet. I am so happy that I found out the issue early enough to hopefully reverse the damage.

I was a strong supporter of BB for my cats & dog. My female cat has been throwing up for 2 years. I tried many things but stood by BB cat food. About 2 weeks ago I found out that other people were having the same issue. I switched them to Wellness (because I do not feed my animals GMO food) & she has not thrown up at all! In fact, she has more energy now!

I was feeding my 6-month old Shih Tzu Merrick's puppy food and he seemed to like it. To give him some variety I bought Blue Wilderness Puppy with Red Meat and since I started to blend it with Merrick, the puppy started to throw up and not be interested in the food. Then gradually as the concentration of BB increased he started to have soft stools which then turned into projectile diarrhea with gas several times during the night. We had some friends visit us with their puppy and he tried the BB too. The next day he was also sick with the same symptoms. I am taking the BB bag back to Petco and going back to Merrick.

My 9 year-old German Shorthaired Pointer had been thru 2 bags of regular Blue and things appeared ok, but in retrospect she was munching on grass more than usual. Anyhow, I saw another type Blue that would suit her better (Senior formula, but still chicken flavor). She's not a picky eater, but when I opened the new bag on Sunday she would not touch it. Not alarmed because she tends to eat according to her energy expenditure. Monday came and she was fed again with the new stuff.

Both of my dogs have been eating Blue Buffalo food only for a long time. I chose it because of the ingredients and because it is supposedly best on the market. The last purchase turned out to be this disaster. Both of my dogs got severe diarrhea. Obviously of bacterial nature. Lasted 3 days. I eventually nursed them back by fasting them, then giving them rice water, then just rice, then rice with chicken. They livened up. Then last night I tried to go back on the food and mixed it with rice. This morning both of the dogs have the same type of diarrhea like before and are lethargic and weak again. Rice is on the stove again. At first I thought they ate something rotten on the street or something that my dog stashes away. But now I know for sure it's the food. It made me look up possible recalls, and I found this. It seems all of the dogs got sick around the same time as my dogs. I am throwing away the rest of the cans that I have and probably will just cook for them for awhile. Poor babies.

I just gave Blue Buffalo Healthy Gourmet Ocean fish to my 2 cats tonight for the first time. One of them has now had diarrhea twice tonight. When I googled this, I was surprised to see many other occurrences. I bought a few more cans of other flavors, and I'm thinking I should return them, based on how many other pets have experienced diarrhea. Poor things! What's going on?

My min pin puppy has been on BB since birth; he is now 5 months old and has developed chronic diarrhea/loose stools. My 13 year old Westie tried BB along with the puppy. It makes her vomit several hours after eating. On the recommendation of our dog trainer, I am switching from BB to Acana.

When I first switched my cats to this product, my 7-year-old cat started having loose stools; however, my 12-year old cat had no problem with it. I decided to stick it out for a couple of weeks, and the loose stools finally returned to normal. Now they both enjoy this cat food, and their coats are shiny and they appear to both have more energy. I think the loose stools were because Blue Buffalo Wilderness is higher protein than my previous brand, and it took a little getting used to.

Not even sure how to begin. In memory of my beloved George whom we had to put down on September 4, 2014 @ 10:55 pm. Hearing my daughter crying and trying to pull her hair out, cried out it was her fault our first family dog died, her reason... it was her idea to switch George's food to Blue Buffalo. George never liked it... hardly ate it. That should have been the only clue I needed. But I couldn't afford to toss $50 out the trash... that was our budget for his food. Six weeks after he was started on Blue brand he was diagnosed with tumor in his spleen that turned out to be cancer which had spread to his liver.

I started my 2-year-old German shepherd on Blue Buffalo Blue Wilderness Chicken Recipe a week ago, and for the last few days she has been developing diarrhea, which she had never had before. I looked up Blue Buffalo Reviews on Google and came across this site. After reading all the posts regarding the issues lately with this product I just threw out the whole bag of food. There goes $50 in dog food.

First, on the reviewer that said most of these were bogus complaints from other companies, I disagree. I am glad your pet has no issues with the product. Our dog had been on Blue Buffalo for 2 years now with no issues, but we believe this last bag does have issues. He would not eat his whole bowl of food, but would eat half for a while now. He is 13 years old, so thought it was his age. He has had diarrhea now for a few days. I just switched to the rice and cooked chicken to see if it will help. He had a little blood in this last stool, so I am a little worried if the bland diet doesn't help. Of course, this could be something happening to him physically, we still need to check out, but the coincidence is pretty overwhelming. I need to check what is a good dog food for older dogs and not harsh on their stomachs and intestines.

I used to feed my three dogs Beneful Healthy Weight. I started seeing commercials for this product and thought I make enough money, so I could now feed my three pugs and chihuahua a healthier food. On 9/3/14 I woke up and everything was different for my male pug Bogey. I was getting ready to take him down with his two sisters. They jumped off the bed, but Bogey did not. I put him down on the floor and he lost balance and banged into the wall. At first I thought he had a stroke. The vet told me first to put some honey on his tongue. I did that and he profusely started throwing up the food. I took him to the vet, he vomited in the elevator and three more times at the vet, all Blue food.

On 9/1/14 my 11 year old dachshund was experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. She became lethargic. Very sick. Took her to the emergency vet, and three days later after IVs and all kinds of tests she was back home. They were unable to identify a cause. Today, my seven year old dachshund ate only a few bites of her dog food. Within one hour was vomiting and had severe diarrhea. I feed only Blue Buffalo Adult Weight dry and Blue Buffalo Chicken with Garden Vegetables canned. I just opened a new bag of dry on the evening of August 30th. I think this food is tainted. How do I find out for sure??

Wow! I am absolutely shocked after having read so many reviews from pet owners who feed their dogs Blue Buffalo brand food. It didn't occur to me at the time that this would be the cause of my dog's severe reaction to eating his own food. He has been fed BB for almost a year with no issues, but last week he started having uncontrollable diarrhea which lasted for 3 days. After the vet prescribed intestinal medication and a small amount of prescription food, along with complete blood work. My dog got better after several more days. As soon as he began eating the BB again, his stools became loose again. I am switching him to a different food immediately, and I assume that a number of customers will be doing the same.

I have been feeding two of my small dogs Natural Balance dog food for years. Stupid me thought perhaps if I changed dog foods, the tear stains in their eyes would decrease. I switched to Blue Buffalo dog food about a month and a half ago. 2400 in vet bill so far, it is the biggest regret for me. My poor 5 year old Maltese is suffering from liver failure, jaundice, lethargy, not eating........ She spent five nights in the hospital, jaundiced and forever undergoing tests to see what liver function she has left. Next step is a surgical procedure where she has to have a liver biopsy! She was a perfectly healthy dog prior to the switch.

I purchased some dry and canned Blue Buffalo dog food for my 6-year-old Pit Bull. I specifically chose the "grain free" food because of its deemed quality and nutrition. After feeding my dog a half-and-half mixture of dry and canned food on Monday, on Tuesday I awoke to her vomiting foamy bile and experiencing explosive bloody diarrhea. The vomiting subsided when I began feeding her pumpkin and green beans (due to their bland, yet, fibrous composition - and yes, it's vet recommended) but the diarrhea continued.

Just spent $63 on what's supposed to be a premium food for my 4 month Siberian husky. Weaned him from Iams to buffalo blue puppy and now he has near diarrhea. Took one month to do so. Thinking on switching him back to isms.

Something is terribly wrong here. There are just too many complaints about Blue Buffalo Dog Food. I feel there is an Internet conspiracy going on. I think bogus complaints are being logged in by bloggers, maybe from other dog food companies, trying to sully the Blue Buffalo name. I researched all dog foods when I got my new Wire Fox Terrier two years ago. I noticed how the reviews of certain foods were being manipulated by bloggers. I have heard that rival dog food companies hire blogger to come on these sites and give false information!! I have had my dog on Blue Buffalo for 2 years now, and she is healthy and flourishing! I highly recommend it. She has eaten the Wilderness brand and now we have switched to the Freedom brand. She loves it and I couldn't be happier! Beware of what you read on the internet!

I have been feeding my dogs Blue Buffalo for years and have always been happy until now. I purchased a bag of chicken and brown rice and my German Shepherd got very sick. We have now been to the vet weekly just trying to get her back to herself. She tried to "tell" me that she didn't want to eat the food, but I forced the issue. My mistake. This is the brand of dog food that really saved the life of my Siberian husky, so I don't want to say that I will never return to it, but I will expect a response to all of the complaints. There has to be some responsibility for the sudden output of bad quality. I have now purchased Organix and my shepherd has stopped vomiting and is starting to become active again.

I have been a happy customer of BB dry dog food for years until recently. I have three dogs who have all been sick with explosive diarrhea and vomiting on and off over the course of a couple months. We went to the vet and they said to put the dogs on a bland food diet. It worked, the dogs recovered. Then I introduced regular dog food again, they all got sick. I switched between bland food and BB a couple times, till it clicked; the dog food might be making them sick!! No more Blue Buffalo for my pups! Issue a recall!!!

Our dogs have been on BB for years and in the last month or so, refuse to eat it. We tried a different bag with similar results, and after reading some of the other reviews I will definitely be taking ours back and buying a different brand!!!

My Chocolate Lab & Aussie have been eating BB dry food for 3 years and both have experienced stomach issues over these 3 years. Some days not wanting to eat at all & when they finally give in because they are hungry both getting severe diarrhea, throwing up & dry heaving. I never for one minute thought it could be from the food I feed them, spending hundreds of dollars to feed my pups the BEST food on the market after doing tons of research on dog food 3 years ago. I believe this morning I may have figured out what the issue is. I am absolutely furious.

Our 3 year old Yorkie has been eating Blue Buffalo for over 2 years. He is a healthy little guy and just had a comprehensive exam 7/15. I just bought a new bag of the Blue Buffalo small breed adult at Petco on 7/26. I recently opened the new bag in the last two weeks and last Sunday, August 24 started a week I will never forget!

One morning I noticed my cat having diarrhea. I wasn't sure of the cause, but I stopped feeding her the Blue Wilderness salmon can (half gone) and changed her to a plain bland diet of baked chicken thighs. My cat ate this for 3 days and had NO diarrhea anymore. On the night of the 3rd day, my husband fed her the rest of the salmon can from several days before as she seemed fine. I had left it in the refrigerator. The next morning we awoke to find our cat not moving, just lying huddled on her side and vomit and diarrhea all over the house!!!! We rushed her to the vet and she required subcutaneous fluids, stool sample, blood panel, anti-nausea shot, etcetera... I contacted Blue Wilderness and took many pictures of the can of food. Awaiting a response from them.

I had been feeding my Rottweiler Blue Buffalo for just over a year with no problems. After buying a new bag a few weeks ago, my dog has been panting heavily and had diarrhea constantly. I have been closely monitoring him to make sure that he isn't getting into any other food source. It is only after eating Blue Buffalo that he starts feeling ill. I took him off the dog food and started feeding him plain chicken and brown rice and he was back to normal within 24 hours. The next step would have been an expensive vet visit. This food needs to be recalled.

I have been feeding my Greyhound Blue Buffalo dry, wet and treats for four years and nothing else. I thought I was feeding her the best food available. She loved it until two weeks ago. Suddenly, she stopped liking it. Never dreaming anything could be wrong with her food, I started hand feeding the wet to her. She would not eat the dry no matter what I did to try to make her eat. I kept wondering why she was acting this way over her food. During this time, I noticed her stools were hard and she was urinating large amounts. Four days ago she started to vomit and when nothing was left to throw up, large amounts of slimy, yellow foam gagged her. Then nasty diarrhea started. Not one minute did I think her illness was due to BB.

We have four cats, all males and two are 5 1/2 and are littermates. The other two just turned a year old (August) and are not littermates but from same rescue. I keep hearing that many of the more popular and common brands of wet and dry cat food (found at grocery stores) are made up of by product and not always the best quality since to us, they are not just "pets", they are my "kids". We had been getting Blue Buffalo and two other quality brands for them from pet stores since we can't find these foods at the grocery store. Last August, my husband was laid off from his job, so we ended up switching to the cheapest brand of the quality food (Performatrin Ultra) and there were no problems with our cats when we changed foods.

My dog love Blue and for the first 9 months gained 10 lbs a month. Healthy as a horse And a beautiful American Blue Pit Bully named Merlin.

I have been feeding my Shelties Blue dog food for the last three years. About one year ago, my female sheltie started experiencing hot spots, ear infections and finally was diagnosed with a Thyroid condition. She has itchy patches of skin that looks like cradle cap. Once on thyroid meds, her energy improved, but the skin condition is terrible. She then started throwing up and having very soft stool after she had eaten. She would hardly touch her food unless I added meat to eat. She would eat the homemade chicken or beef and not touch the Blue dog food. Our male sheltie also started throwing up right after eating. This has happened many times in the last month.

I have been feeding my Westie Blue Buffalo for the past few years. All of sudden this week after giving her BLUE Homestyle Recipe (chicken) and she is having bloody diarrhea. My dog has eaten this brand and other Blue Buffalo wet foods in the past, but I haven't had any problems. My dog has never had blood in her stool before. I have searched to see if this food was recalled, but I can't find anything. If anyone has had this issue or other issues with this brand, please post what you know. I have already spent a lot of money for vet visit, labs, meds, etc. I know that she did not 'get into' something around the house, so my only conclusion is that something was wrong with her dog food. I've gotten the can out of the trash can as a precaution in case there is a recall.

I see a lot of negative reviews of Blue Buffalo pet food. We have two adult cats both of whom were switched from Innova to Blue Buffalo Wilderness canned wet food. My cats love it, and after a few years, we have not noticed any negative effects or changes in behavior. To the contrary, they both are very healthy.

My IG was recently treated for Pancreatitis. After treatment, I weaned him back onto Blue. It has been about 6 weeks and he is experiencing the beginning of same symptoms. I am going by the vet today for bland food and will get his suggestions for changing foods. I am considering a raw diet.

My vet informed us that dogs on Blue Buffalo have come in with bladder stones. Our dog has been on Blue for multiple years and just had surgery for 20 plus stones after being on Blue for many years. It's cost 1302 dollars and now he needs a special diet because of it.

I've been feeding Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken and now Blue Buffalo Freedom to 5 cats. I was feeding Natures Instinct but needed a lower calorie dry food. My cats that needed to slim down have and the other cats maintain their weights and all have shiny coats and more energy. My cats seldom puke and their stools are perfectly formed. No urinary problems either. I also feed a high quality grain free wet food daily and they have a water fountain to encourage intake. I highly recommend this food!

I was feeding my Jack Russell only Blue Buffalo and had nothing but problems. It started with him eating grass, refusing to eat and having severe diarrhea. I had to literally add meat to his food that he would even touch it. The vet now diagnosed stomach cancer and he had to be put to sleep. In my opinion, Blue Buffalo killed my dog. If he only ate that stuff - what else could have killed him? I was recently made aware of an article in the Bloomberg Business week dated July 28th. This article exposes the false claims from Blue Buffalo. To quote one of the competitors in that article: "Blue Buffalo is Built on Lies" - I cannot agree more.

I have been feeding my chihuahua mix the Life Protection Formula Healthy Weight Adult food for at least a year now which she has been eating fine... But with the last 2 bags she suddenly refuses to eat which is very strange because she usually will eat anything that's given to her. I thought something was wrong with the first bag so I bought another and she still refuses to eat it. I tried to call the company at the ph# listed on the bag to see if maybe they changed the ingredients or something....but there was no answer, it just rang about 20 times then stopped & no answering machine to leave a message!? So I guess they've lost our business and we'll be trying a different brand.

I have been dealing with one sick beloved Puggle for the past two weeks. I ended up in an emergency vet service hospital this past Sunday because she had violent diarrhea and vomiting. She would begin to pant heavily and head for the front door to go out. Sometimes she made it, sometimes not. This was the 2nd weekend experience. The first weekend was 8/17 and I thought she had gastro distress because I had caught her eating grass in our backyard. She was on a bland diet of rice, boiled chicken and broth from 8/18 to 8/21. I began weaning her on to Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken/rice on 8/21 evening meal. She was fully on her Blue Buffalo by 8/23 evening meal. At 4 am on 8/24 she begins panting and runs to the front door again.

Started feeding my 12 & 13 female Labs Wilderness Chicken Blue Buffalo about a year ago. In June we found my 12 yr old passed out in the yard unresponsive with labored breathing. Took her to the vet and she was having heart problems and was able to almost fully recover after a week of heart meds and antibiotics. She ended up losing 20 pounds. In early Aug she had another episode with vomiting, labored bringing and coughing. We did not want to put her through testing due to her age but the vet suspected heart and kidney failure. We are treating with heart meds but she continues to cough. Last week the 13 yr lab woke up with panting and was walking into walls and disoriented. Due to their age they don't get into anything, mostly sleep. So I started to check out the food. I have recently changed food with hopes that one of the dogs won't have permanent damage.

We have a 3 year old lab mix and a 4 month old lab. We have always used Blue. We have not had any issues with the Blue Adult or the Blue Puppy foods. Just bought two bags on Tuesday and have seen no issues with the dogs (they're swimming in the pool as I type this). I felt obligated to write after seeing all the negative comments.

We had our Boxer/Weimaraner cross on Blue Buffalo for over a year. She is now three. Over the last month and a half, we have had a seizure, vomiting, loose and bloody stools. She is usually such a happy and healthy dog. We went to the vet and her stomach issues were of course hard to diagnose. She was put on antibiotic and recommended a bland diet. She was fine on the bland diet and we thought the antibiotic worked. So we gave her her Blue Buffalo. The vomiting and diarrhea started again almost instantly. We have obviously pulled her off this food and switched brands and she's now back to her old self!

Our Golden Retriever got sick after I started feeding him the Blue wilderness Beef flavored dog food. He became violently ill... started vomiting, had projectile diarrhea, blood in his urine and his stool. The first time this happened I took him to the vet about 4 weeks ago thinking he had eaten something strange (he's an inside dog, but we live in a rural area with wildlife in our yard). Spent just under $300 to treat him for an intestinal infection... unknown cause. Started feeding him the food again, within a week he had the same symptoms. Took him back to the Vet. The vet ask specifically if I was still feeding the Blue Wilderness. I said yes. I did not make the connection to the food until that moment.... which made me feel so bad about my choice of food for him.

I read many comments and agree. My dogs will not eat BB Wilderness even if they are starving. Neither will my cats. Actually my cats both vomited profusely when I introduced the BB salmon to their diets. Never again. I am switching to anything other than BLUE. What a load of marketing BS! My dogs also are eating BLUE and have been wanting less and less of their food. One of my girls has refused her food and I found out she is in kidney failure!!! Shame on you BLUE if this is a result of bad food. My doggie girls won't touch it!! That tells me something very important. This company doesn't care about my doggie girls or any other animals for that matter. Buying any random kibble is most likely safer. SHAME ON YOU. I THINK YOU KILLED MY DEAR DOGGIE!!!

I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. Similar to the other stories that I have read, at first everything was fine and their vet approved of the food based on his exams during things like vaccines, etc., not having anything to do with any reaction to the food. Then as time went by and I did things like buy a different flavor or bag size there were numerous (yet subtle) issues. I mention 6 pets, and there were 6 different reactions. The oldest dog developed diarrhea, though not every day. The younger dog started to have a bright pink spot on his muzzle, which kept getting redder and then he started fussing with it. The oldest cat began throwing up a lot. The one eyed cat had oozing from his bad eye and my calico cutie was getting bald spots.

We slowly introduced Blue Freedom Grain Free Puppy food to our puppy. After two days she vomited, then she had a soft stool. The next day she was runny and the next day and was starting to projectile her stool. She was in misery ---she seemed to not want to eat the food. Went to vet and he ran test from stool --nothing found. Looked up about Blue and saw the other comments and vet said he has had many dogs come in the last year with same complaint. She is now on different food and is back to normal. I am very angry that we spent so much on this food and there apparently is no quality control. It is very upsetting to spend so much on what we thought was good food, then had to spend over $200 in vet fees in meds and tests, just to find out that the food caused all this. Please you must have changed something for so many dogs to be coming ill in the last year.

I purchase an 11lb bag of Blue Wilderness dry cat food every six weeks for my two, 14 month old, inside cats. They have been eating this food for about 9 months without any issues until I bought my most current bag (Duck flavor) 3 weeks ago. I noticed an increase in vomiting shortly after purchasing this but didn't think much of it. They were only vomiting yellow fluid, barely any hair, unless they just ate they would vomit their food and yellow fluid. I thought maybe they had to adjust to the different flavor although that has never been a problem before.

I would like to say that I work in a Veterinary Clinic and 98% of the urinary problems (including total blockage) with cats and dogs in our clinic are on a Blue Buffalo food. It is a very serious and even deadly situation when a cat (or dog) is blocked. Also the expense can be in the thousands if surgery is required to fix the problem. We are not a clinic that thinks all people should buy their food at our clinic--- there are other foods on the market that you can get at the local pet store. The bad thing about it is that once they have urinary problems they usually have to be on a special urinary diet for life-- so not only has this food created a large vet bill but now the animal needs to be on a more expensive urinary food.

We have used Blue Buffalo happily for years but are changing since last Sunday our Senior Rottie started getting sick with lethargy, watery and bloody diarrhea and vomiting and wasn't drinking. We started a new bag and then the illness started. Stopped and got new food and antibiotics and she got better.

I am reading the reviews for Blue Products. I have been feeding 7 dogs on Blue Life and Kirkland mixed. Recently the dogs do not want to eat the new bag we just opened and after reading the complaints I am concerned. Does anyone know where they bought this food and the dates on the packages? I will take my new 8 bags back to the store if anyone has any info about the bags. Thank you all for replying.

I just read some of the comments and my dogs had many of the symptoms these dogs had. Unfortunately on of my dogs died suddenly 2 days ago, another has been at the vet for 5 days with Pancreatitis and the third after being seizure free, began to have seizures again. I learned an important piece of information today, just because a food is "produced in the US" it does not mean what they make it from was sourced in the US. I also bought a new bag of food from Centinela pet food in the last 7 days. I am switching them to prescription food directly from the vet. Beware, something in my opinion is really wrong with this "blue" brand food.

We have an Staffordshire Bull Terrier and we had been feeding BB since the first day he arrived home. We had no problem during the first 5 months. My husband, who knows a lot about dogs, decided to switch to raw food and the dog was doing great. However, we decided to switch back to kibbles because the dog was not drinking enough water (which is normal) when feeding him raw food.

I owned a Husky a few years back and I fed her Blue Buffalo food and she started having seizures. Eventually she was put on medication. She only lasted 18 months before she passed. I had no idea that the food could be causing it until last night. I awoke to find my 4-year-old Lab mix having a seizure. I was still feeding my dog the Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight food. From what I have been able to find online about the complaints, and even deaths. I will not be taking any more chances with my dogs. I will be switching their food now.

I have been feeding my Doxie BB for 7 years and it has saved his life. However, I noticed with the last bag of food he has been having loose stool and peeing like a racehorse. He is having more accidents in the house than ever before and he is more lethargic than normal. I use BB to supplement the food I make for him, which is chicken and green beans, but it seems even the small amount 1/3 cup of BB he gets is bothering him. When I stopped giving him the BB his stool and peeing problems got better after a week. I took him to his vet and they ran tests and said that he was alright, but she also noticed that his paws were bothering him so she gave him pain pills. Now I also only feed him BB snacks - could they also be causing him problems?

I have two Great Danes and in early July they both started vomiting for no apparent reason. After almost $700 at the vet, we found no cause. We have been feeding this BB product for a long time with no issues. According to another post on here and looking at the dates of the posts, it looks like a formula change or bad lot to me. I bought 3 bags on sale at Petco. I plan to hold onto the remaining bag. I am moving my dogs back to Taste of the Wild immediately.

We switched our cat's food thinking that we were doing and giving our pet the very best when in fact we were causing harm. After experiencing over 24 hours of vomiting, I knew something was wrong with him. He has always been healthy. He has never been to the vet but for a wellness visit and of course his neutering. The x-rays revealed his bowels were inflamed. My vet was very concerned as he is only 3 years old. I told her we have made no changes except he has been on Blue Buffalo for the past 8 months. She advised me that we should change immediately. I was very curious as to her reasoning. She stated that the founder is a marketing guru and there is not even a veterinarian on staff and there is cross-contamination of lesser quality foods. I was shocked! I then decided to search to see what I could find and then I came upon this site to only find hundreds of people just like me with pets all with the same symptoms. This must stop! I will do my best to spread the word and prevent other pets from enduring the suffering my pet and hundreds of others have experienced.

I had two Shih Tzus and one older (12) Pekingese on Blue Buffalo. After purchasing a new sack I noticed that Bubba would barely get out of the kitchen before throwing up the dog food. Minnie was also having problems with the food. I spoke to my Daughter and 2 of her 3 Shih Tzus also had the same symptoms. About 3 weeks later I received an Email letting me know that they had "improved" the formula of the little black pellets. I have switched to Halo.

Ok I should start from the beginning. I had a 6 year old leopard hound that had gotten a small wound on his right leg. I didn't think much about so I cleaned it and soaked it then put ointment on it for about two days then his whole leg swelled and he refused to walk on it so off to the vet. They told me he had the beginnings of heart disease so they put him on a diuretic. The swelling went away but he still refused to walk on it. I then did research for a low sodium dog food. Hills ideal balance had an ok rating so I started him on that and called the vet and told them the swelling went down but he still didn't want to walk on it. So they put him on an anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic.

My cat has been eating Blue Buffalo for about six weeks and she is doing very well. I just found this discussion about Blue Buffalo while looking up general health information about cats. I began feeding my 15-year-old BB Wilderness and the Blue Buffalo moist food because she had been vomiting up other cat foods for several months... I've tried to switch to other brands, but my cat throws it up after she eats it. Another cat food she ate, Royal Canin, was okay for her, too. Anyway, I am relieved that she is doing better because she had lost weight and her fur was dull and somewhat coarse. I appreciate the feedback on this site and will remain attentive to my cat! I hope she will continue to improve, because I don't know which other cat food to try!

I have 5 cats, and purchased a bag of Blue Buffalo Hairball/Indoor formula for them about 2 weeks ago. Since the first day, they have been vomiting and have had runny bowel movements. It is difficult to determine which cat is having the problems, but thought it was because of the switch from Purina. But it has been two weeks now, and there has been no improvement. I have never experienced this much cat vomit, and the diarrhea is out of control at this point. I even noticed some blood in the diarrhea stool this morning, so did a search for reviews of BB product. I am so glad I found these comments. I now know to get them off the BB immediately.

My 6 month year plus German Shorthaired Pointer was vomiting, had diarrhea and eventually extremely lethargic. I was so worried, he could not stand. I took him to the vet then researched the food. Medication and new food required. I noticed that I am not the only one recently with concerns about this food. I am taking the puppy food from Blue right back!

We have a 10 month old Lab that we were feeding Iams. After a recommendation from a friend in July 2014 we decided to switch him over to the Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice formula because "we love our dog like family" - BIG MISTAKE! He started having blow out pure liquid diarrhea and vomiting. Took him to the vet. Put him on meds - it went away. As soon as the meds were finished it came back. This is now the third time. It got so bad that we had to take him for injections because he couldn't even keep the meds down. Switched his food completely to Science Diet August 8, 2014.

I've raised my dog in the healthiest way possible, in the last few weeks and days I've had a terribly frightening experience with Blue Buffalo dog food Wilderness. For weeks, my dog has been having on and off bouts of diarrhea. My dog seemed off, lethargic and just not herself. She was tested for giardia, blood, urine and stool testing all has been negative. Just this past weekend, my dog had serious GI problems. The vet said all the tests showed nothing. My is pretty healthy dog for her age.

I had been feeding my Jack, Jack Russell, Blue Basics for several years. Chose to change to this food after he developed skin allergies. In March 2014 he suddenly started having seizures. He was 15 and my vet and I agreed due to his age we did not want to stress him out and cause another seizure so we did not do blood work. On July 19, 2014 he had a seizure which lasted over 2 hours and he had to be put down. The most horrible experience ever. One week to the day my other dog which is a Boxer and is 19 months old came up to me after eating and started having a seizure - never before had he done this. We spent well over $400.00 on blood work. Liver enzymes were elevated but the vitamin D level was normal. I cannot say for sure that the Blue had anything to do with this but after reading other posts and the elevated liver enzymes I believe it is the food. I have already changed his food to vet recommendation and pray this never happens again.
