I did massive research before buying this food for my puppy. He reacts well with no concerns for regurgitating the food (There is a difference between vomiting and regurgitating) which seems to be a concern for others. My puppy loves this food and it's also used as a training tool during feeding periods. Coat is beautiful, learning and adapting how he should, digestion also is not a concern. I also enjoy the price of the product in comparison to other "high end" food products. Blue seems to be focused on providing the essential nutrients needed at an affordable price. It will continue to be my go to product as I have some wilderness treats as well. P.s. don't fall for the trends.

I actually think your app is the stupidest app.Ever because it makes no sense, you have to go back-and-forth to even write a review.You need to get your app straight before you even ask for review on your dog food which is great.

My 10-week-old Yorkie loves this brand! The food she was previously on messed with her digestion but this one is such good quality—the issues went right away. Added bonus that it does it break the bank.

I starting my babies on this about a year ago and they absolutely love it!!! Unless they have a need for a special food (for allergies, joints, etc..) I will continue to buy new Blue products for my babies. Since I started Blue, my dogs digestive issues have completely gone away. There coats are noticeably smoother as well. I would recommend this food and any Blue products to my friends and family!! Try it and your babies will be so happy!!! TN from Texas

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.
The only food we will give our dog.

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.
