Molded dog food. Very disgusting. First time trying blue buffalo. Never will buy again

We're so sorry to see that! It doesn't happen often, but sometimes mold can occur if the product was accidentally exposed to warmer temperatures, or the packaging was damaged/unsealed. We'd like to report this to our team and assist you further. Please reach out to us directly at https://bluebuffalo.com/about/contact/. Thank you.

Have used for five years with our jug dog (pug/jack russel) and she absolutely loves it. We started with puppy formula then moved to adult small-bite formula of chicken and rice. Never had any stomach issues, she’s at a healthy weight and has beautiful coat and energy. We prepare it in her bowl with warm water and we also add bacon flavored glucosamine (bought seperately) for her joints, and it seems to be finger-licking good!

Blue Buffalo for puppies has been and will continue to be the dog food I buy for puppies for the first two years of life. It's healthy, delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality product that it is. I mix in a raw egg, or throw on some diced chicken sometimes to spice it up and add further nutritional ingredients. I've always been happy with this dog food, and so has she.

Blue Buffalo Life protection formula is the only food we will give our dog. The ingredients and nutritional value far exceed other brands. We have tried a few other brands and they have all upset my dogs stomach.
