Bought Lamb and rice for large breed because it says on the front no chicken or poultry. I guess no chicken does t mean no chicken. Second ingredient is chicken meal! No wonder my dog wasn’t doing well! Not happy at all!

Fish meal vs. chicken meal

Beware that even though this is Lamb as the first ingredient, there is a discrepancy with the second ingredient. The Target ingredients list says “fish meal” while the product image displays “chicken meal”. Must be a new formula, which is important if your dog has food allergies.
Great dog food

I use Blue Buffalo for my service dog, Charlie. I’ve had Charlie now for six years and that’s all I’ve ever fed him. He’s healthy, has a beautiful fur coat. I also add a tablespoon of coconut oil.
Good product but disappointed in kibble size

My dog has been on it for a few months and although it is a great product. I am disappointed in the kibble size, even though it is marketed for large breed dogs. It is a mixture of tiny kibbles, the size of peppercorns and a little larger kibble. Won’t be buying again.
I tried it, and it failed

My husband used to work near the Blue Buffalo office in Wilton. So, I figured I try Blue Buffalo for my dogs. My Rhodesian Ridgeback; who'll eat anything, ate it. Sadly, my Rottweiler did not. With the amount of money I spent believing it was a good product for my boys, did not come through 100%.

Been feeding this food to my two large breed dogs for four years it's a bit pricey but I think it's the best choice for them. Always had good weight, never sick.

This is amazing dog food. I bought many brands for my dog in order to find what he really likes. When I bought Purina, he sniffed it & didn’t even want to touch it. He absolutely loved blue life protection formula. It’s also way healthier!

Our dog loves Blue Buffalo! She is like a different dog and plays all the time now after dinner and her treat. She used to just be very lethargic but now has the energy of a puppy. We try to give her a little variety and Blue offers that!

My dogs loove this food. It is the only brand they eat. I have tried giving them other kinds of brands and it makes their stomach upset. Definitely recommend blue buffalo products!

Dog loves this! We alternate with the chicken. She has more energy and eats her whole bowl now that we switched foods. So happy with this product. She’s a picky eater and used to leave her food half eaten. Not anymore!

One of my dogs favorite flavors! She also loves the chicken flavor. I feel for her age (10 yrs) her energy isn’t diminishing and her coat always looks so healthy. I love buying Blue for my cat and dog.

I have fed this dog food to my boys for 2 years. After extensive research, I found that this is the best food to feed my dogs. It has everything that is recommended for their breed, to include Turmeric. This is one of the few dog foods on the market that you can get at a local pet store with this ingredient.
