Is Blue Buffalo puppy ok?

[jloftin60]

I bought our new Yorkie puppy Blue Buffalo chicken.
The breeder was using Science Diet. Is BlueBuff ok or should
I use something else?

Blue Buffalo is waaaaayyyy better than Science Diet. There are better, grain-free foods out there, but BB is fine.

It is a 4 star dog food. I would feel comfortable feeding this to my dog. Their is one negitive, it contains Tomato Pomace, which in a limited amount of words is, whats left over from making tomato juice or other products. Is it bad? it's not good, but I wouldn't worry to much because it is 10th on the list, some would say it's bad, but I wouldn't. But that is just my OPINON. To read more about your food this link would help. And yes it is waaaaay better than science diet.

Personally, I rate Blue Buffalo higher than Wellness' Super5Mix line.

I would agree that it is at least as good if not better than Wellness Super 5 Mix as well.

Personally, I rate Blue Buffalo higher than Wellness' Super5Mix line.

I thought Wellness was a very good kibble.

I have heard about many dogs not liking the taste of Blue Buffalo products.

I thought Wellness was a very good kibble.

This would be a good debate, I would take wellness and only because the first three ingredients are meat with a 4th at No. 8. A lot more stuff in Blue Buffalo. I did not see eggs in either. Boy, they are very similar

Yeah they're pretty similar. I like that BB has the cold-formed vitamins and whatnot so that they aren't cooked out of the kibble like other foods, but that could just be a big marketing gimmick. Either way, I've heard of lots of dogs who love it and several dogs who don't. Both are good kibble brands.
