My 14 year old dogs like this food. They don’t seem to have the digestive issues with it like some of the other dog food I have tried. If they could make even smaller morsels it might make it easier for senior big dogs to chew. Overall good product.

I like the quality of this food. My dog is older and has stomach sensitivity to many foods. This works well - I add a little pumpkin a few times a week
Digestive Improvements

Christen - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Blue Buffalo is great, especially for my senior dogs. Previous dog foods would upset their stomach. When we switched to Blue Buffalo that changed, and there was an obvious improvement in their digestion.

My dog got diarrhea shortly after starting this food. The kibble smells terrible too. We’ve used the Blue Buffalo adult formula without any issues before.

I had no idea a senior version of this existed but I’m glad I found it because my girlie loves it. I just hate how it’s more expensive than the reg adult one.

Do not get this food. My dog has no sensitivity for food and he got sick from eating a cup of this food. Save your money. For how expensive it is, the quality should be better.
