My dog had a seizure after eating this food for 3 days. She has never had a seizure prior to this change in her diet. I have since read online about other dogs who have had seizures after eating Blue Buffalo food. I will not be feeding this to her again.

Precious came to us as a stray. The folks who found her had her on another brand. We slowly switch the brand to Blue Buffalo and could see the GROWTH difference within 2 weeks. Very pleased with the quality of the food.

Bougie chocolate lab

5 out of 5 stars
Hazzyann - 2 months ago
originally posted on bluebuffalo.com
When we got our chocolate lab they started her on blue puppy. It was a bit more expensive and I was then swayed to change her to a different brand. Once we had her fully transitioned though she stopped eating so enthusiastic and just seemed to not care about her food anymore. So like any good dog parent I started to research and figured out even though the other brand was a few dollars cheaper a bag, the serving size was 2x as much per day. So really I wasn't saving money at all. Plus if she didn't eat, then she would try to steal our food and with little kids that is not a good habit to have. As soon as she saw the blue bag come through the door she went crazy! Transitioning her back I had to sprinkle the blue on top of her current food or she wouldn't eat. We have a bougie blue dog for life now and couldn't be happier. She was a runt and is now up to the weight of her brothers and sisters.

Best puppy food I've ever used

4 out of 5 stars
Hey_Kim - 2 months ago
originally posted on bluebuffalo.com
I desperately want to give this puppy food the fullest, fattest five star rating possible however, the only thing that prevents me from in good conscience doing so is I believe the price could be worked on. I'm feeding two female Connie Corso and with large breeds they do tend to eat more food. So the puppy food coming in at 34 and 1/2 lb bag at its price point can make it a little painful to do. Yes propagates and sustains a wonderful health and growth balance and for that I am extremely grateful. But I fear that the price point could cause some to revert to a lesser quality food that's a bit more affordable. My veterinarian is extremely impressed with both of my dogs health and growth rate. As am i. However, with a large breed like this it's best to feed them puppy food until they're 18 months old. By the time they are 18 months old they will both be well over a hundred pounds which makes the 34 and 1/2 lb bag not go very far. Couldn't be happier with the ingredients, quality, and result of this dog food. It is the best that I have ever found in 30 years of having dogs. And I will say I have to give props to Blue Buffalo for frequently offering coupons and discounts. I would however, like to see the option of digital coupons that do not have to be printed made available. No doubt, Blue Buffalo has a consumer for life In my household, and I greatly appreciate the efforts they put into producing such a well researched beneficial product for cherished pets!

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.
