    I bought this because our dog can’t have chicken she itches. The bag says no chicken or chicken byproducts but the ingredients says it has chicken in it. That’s deceiving to say no chicken it’s supposed to have lamb

    Sorry for the confusion! We do not use Chicken (or Poultry) By-Product Meals in our foods. This product does contain chicken. If you are needing Chicken- Free formulas, please visit us at https://bluebuffalo.com/product-finder/dog/dry-food/ and use the 'Special Formulas & Preferences' filter and select 'Chicken-Free.' We hope this helps!

    I have been feeding my Schnoodle and Bichon pups the Lamb and brown rice. They don't do well with chicken. Allergy. My Bich9ns tear stains are getting worse. I looked at the ingredients and I see Chicken Meal listed. If it says Lamb on bag why is there chicken meal? That's deceiving. I didn't think chicken should be in a bag that says lamb..

    My dogs will spit these bits out and only eat the triangular kibble. I have to throw those out which makes the food expensive. Solutions?
    1 reply from Blue Buffalo Care Team team - 11 months ago
    Our antioxidant-rich exclusive LifeSource Bits™ are the small, dark kibble mixed in with our BLUE dog and cat dry foods. These bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists to help your pet thrive. BLUE’s exclusive LifeSource Bits are “cold-formed” to minimize heat exposure which can degrade the potency of many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. We hope this helps!

    My dog has been on this dog food for 12 years. He's 14 years old started on another brand and it was chicken he didn't like it. Been with this lamb since then. Have had no problems since.

    My 12 year old maltese is finicky , I bought this food to see if he would benefit from all the positive reviews it had . He definitely liked it but within a day or two he began to itch, so I had to stop feeding it .I suspect because of the grains (brown rice) may have been the culprit Be careful of the grains in pet foods , they definitely can cause allergies .

    I attached a picture of my Dogue de Bordeaux mastiff, Penny. However, we also have a golden retriever. Both pups absolutely love this Lamb and Rice from Blue Buffalo. We switched them over to this one because we found out that Penny has an allergy to chicken. Since switching them over, we haven’t had any issues!

    This is the only food we will feed our dogs. They love the lamb and also the chicken flavor in this variety. Any other dog food gives our bullies terrible stomach issues. They have never had issues with this food. Their coats are always shiny and soft, and the vets say they have great nutrition.

    Quality ingredients, and (based on the fact that our dog eats it all up) must taste good. We appreciate that it's sold at a variety of places, but mostly that we can get it on auto-order for delivery to our house. We never run out.

    Decent quality. I bought the seasonal pumpkin and cinnamon and they smelled great. Of course my@dogs love them. Blue Buffalo lost my full trust a year or 2 back so I’m reluctant on the brand being a regular in our home
