I could not be happier! Her hair has such a beautiful glossy sheen to it now. Plus now that the cold weather is here, her skin is not dry and flakey. She is a lot less gassy and her stools are more firm and regular. She eats less food now than she did on science diet and is even at a healthy wieght now! I am absolutely thrilled with how good my little girl is doing now. As with us people evry dog is an individual and different foods effect each of us a bit differently. But whn I just look at the ingredients alone, I know that I am feeding her the best I found in our local pet store.

They had her on Purina Dog Chow and were feeding her a HUGE amount of this food each day (over 4 cups, I'm estimating). She was itchy and flaky and her nails were actually splitting and catching on carpeting (ouch!); my hubby and I knew we needed to switch her to a higher quality food. We actually decided on Blue because we fed the kitten food to our ferret in her late stages of life because of adrenal disease and insulinoma, and I truly believe it extended the quality of her life and gave us that much more precious time with her. Gemma has been on Blue (fish and sweet potato, which the pet store employee recommended for the extra omega-3 for the nails) for a month now, we switched gradually (and she is a grazer, anyway) and I have not seen an itch or split nail since. Her coat is beautiful, soft and shiny, and we have had other people ask what food she is on. There was some difference in poo when we first started the switch, which is expected, but no problems since and I actually think they are smaller and firmer now. I would recommend this food to anyone, but based on all the other reviews, maybe not all dogs will do as well.

I've read that any form of nightshade is not good for dogs. Why is Blue Buffalo using potato? I’ve read that any form of nightshade is not good for dogs.

It actually smells pretty good as I put it into her bowl. She has not experienced any problems with this switch and NO loose stools. I noticed though that she has less waste.

I was feeding him blue buffalo for about a month. at first he was doing fine then he started to get gassy and having loose stool. then it got worse. he began to vomit after every meal and was very lethargic. I ended up having to take him to the hospital. I think blue buffalo is too rich for a puppy. and had to put him on a prescription diet from the vet. I have a 14 week old red nose pitbull.

Both are having loose stools and picky eating the dog food. I am getting very concerned especially with the youngest, 3 month old. After reading some reviews, I am starting to switch them off soon as possible. I started both my puppies, husky and Jack Russell, on Blue Wilderness Puppy for the last 2 weeks.

When she was 6 months old I switched her from Pedigree puppy (I don't recommend it) to Blue Buffalo small breed puppy. Now, her coat had always been a bit thin and a bit dull, but she does have a touch of Dachshund Patterned Baldness, so I just wrote it off to that. Well after a week on Blue she was covered in patches of baldness and scabs, as well as very gassy and lots of poop. I was horrified, so with out waiting for the bag to be finished I switched her to AvoDerm small bread. With AMAZING results!!! Her fur grew back, the scabs healed, less poop, more energy and she is so shiny. It even helped with the patterned baldness. So I DO NOT recommend Blue, it's pricey and can be harmful.

All three dogs love the food. They have been eating the Chicken and Brown Rice for a little over a month. One of the adults has always been very picky and I have always had to stand there and keep telling him to eat...then take it away after a few minutes so the other dogs would not eat it when I would leave for work! Now, he gobbles it up instantly---especially if I mix it with warm water! My concern is that my other adult, a schnauzer, is having a little trouble with gas and slightly loose stool. I am going to try a different flavor before I switch to another brand...Will post again after I have tried that. I have 3 dogs, 2 adults and a puppy. All three dogs love the food.
