    This dog food is wonderful. My little dog loves it. It contains all the vitamins she needs and has the perfect balance for her meals. It comes in smaller packages and different flavors. I loved that.

    I started my dog about 6 months ago on blue Buffalo and his appetite. And energy is better. His coat is better all around. He seems like a happier dog.

    I bought this for my dog and a few days later dog was in the Emergency Room. You look at reviews on this brand and see it’s known for being a shady brand. Target you need to keep this off your shelves because someone almost got a lawsuit for this horrible food making a dog sick. Food should not do that.

    This is the only hard kibble my girls will eat. They eat fresh pet and this on rotation. My daughter gives this to her girls as well and we all have rescue pets so trying to do the best for them.

    "My dog is a very picky eater, but she really enjoys this food. I've been feeding her Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Rice Formula Small Breed Dry Dog Food for five years, and it has been fantastic for her. It provides her with the energy she needs to stay active and supports her muscles, joints, and overall mobility. Her stool is consistently solid, which is great, and she doesn’t experience any stomach issues with this brand. I’m genuinely pleased that my dog loves this flavor and eats it happily."
