[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top nutritional ingredients. I have slowly transitioned Penelope to this food and she eats it but doesn’t seem to eat as well as her other brand of food, but she seems to be more energetic. It has not interrupted her digestive system at all. We will definitely continue to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs are picky with kibble but they really seemed to like this. I have a senior dog and she has eaten it for 2 days now with no complaints. No issues with her tummy and so far no bathroom issues. I hope she continues to do well on it.
My old girl loves this!

I switched my Zoë from Purina when their cost became prohibitive for me. I love that this Senior formula was available for my 12yo Lab and that she Loves it! She runs in the backyard like a puppy again. Thank you, Blue Buffalo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The price is expensive and makes it hard to offer such a great quality product to most animals if you’re not middle class or above. I absolutely loved the product as well as did my fur babies , no stomach upset or skin issues whatsoever which is a win in my book, the wholesome limited ingredients is a huge plus and makes me feel good about what I’m feeding my dogs. The food kibbles were the perfect size for both my Pomeranian and German shepherd which makes it nice not having to buy 2 different kinds of food. The design of the bag and label were clean, easy to read and understand , the color of the bag makes it easy to find on the shelves too. One thing I noticed with this brand is it has options for all stages of a animal’s life puppy-senior that really stands out to me and makes it nice that one can continue to use the same food and quality as the animal ages .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loves this! Considering she’s a picky eater, I’m so so happy she loved this food from day 1. She’s nearly a decade old but still plays like a puppy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the chicken and brown rice dog food for seniors. I have a Chiweenie that is 14 years old and has difficulty eating and digesting food. Right away my pup went to his bowl and ate the whole bowl. Usually he picks at his food, but he seems to be really enjoying it. The dog food is small and is easy to chew for the pup.
Perfect for older dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 2 older dogs (soon to be 10 in a couple of weeks and 13 years old). It was nice to have food made for their demographic because their stomachs are a lot more sensitive these days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old girl (my dog) seemed to enjoy this very much. The kibble is small enough for her to chew easily. She seemed to be full after eating. Did not have much of a smell in my opinion.
Quality kibble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying this product out for roughly two weeks, I can confidently say that this dog food works great with my dogs sensitive stomach. The ingredients appear to be clear and clean. My dog enjoys this kibble and always eats it all—not always the case with other brands.
My dog loves it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is super picky, well- one of them is…the other one not so much…but he hates the “diet” dog food that we have our fat chocolate lab on. I don’t usually buy separate dog food for them, but have tried it a couple times in the past. My Aussie LOVES this food. I haven’t seen him scarf food down that fast in I don’t know how long. He usually ignores the food and takes his time getting to it- but with this he’s actually waiting at his food bowl for his meals. Super impressed. Will absolutely purchase this in the future.
It’s a great food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Life Protection Formula Senior Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe for my senior dog, and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality and benefits it offers. This dog food is specifically formulated for older dogs, providing essential nutrients to support their aging bodies. The first thing I noticed was the high-quality ingredients, with chicken as the main protein source. Chicken is not only tasty but easy on older dogs' digestive systems, which is essential for senior pets. The inclusion of brown rice as a primary carbohydrate is also a great choice, as it’s a healthy, easily digestible grain that provides steady energy. I also appreciate the added vitamins and minerals designed to support senior dog health, including joint support with glucosamine and chondroitin. These ingredients are a thoughtful touch, as they help maintain mobility in aging dogs. The formula also includes antioxidants to support a strong immune system, which is crucial as dogs get older. My senior dog loves the taste, and I’ve noticed improved energy levels and overall well-being since switching to this formula. Additionally, it has a nice balance of protein and fat, helping maintain muscle mass without overloading on calories, which is important for older dogs prone to weight gain. One thing to consider is that the kibble size might be a bit larger for some senior dogs with dental issues. However, this can be easily remedied by adding a bit of water or mixing in some wet food. Overall, I highly recommend Life Protection Formula Senior Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe for aging dogs. It’s a well-balanced, high-quality food that provides great nutrition and is specially designed for the needs of senior pets.
Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, so many ingredients and the main concern is GARLIC?! Do they not do their research? Garlic is horrible for dogs. I would not recommend anyone to use this product on their precious fur baby

This dog food contains fresh fruits, grains, and vegetables which is shown by the color and texture of the food. With these fresh ingredients, it makes it easier to be digested. The nutritional value is exceptional for senior dogs. As shown in the picture, my dog approves!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dog LOVED this food, we’ve kept him on a senior dog food for sometime but he tried this and devoured his bowl. We’ve incorporated those as his new dog food and is great for his age and he enjoys the taste.
