Great for picky dog eaters.
my dog is a picky eater. will avoid kibble for days until shes starved enough to stomach it. Have tried many brands. Shell eat this without much hassle. She still isnt the biggest fan, only eats about 2/3 of her meal.This also smells the best from all the other kibbles we’ve had. theres a strong smell of soysauce on it. I think that helps.

Not suitable for picky eaters
My dogs typically aren’t picky and they were very finicky with this food. They barely at any of it. I decided to order another flavor. Hopefully they like the beef flavor. HOWEVER, my cat would not stay away from this dog food. We had to pick up the bowls so he would not eat it.

Dog loves it, shipping frequently a mess!
The dog loves it, he’s an English Bulldog and their tummy’s can be sensitive but this works for him. The issue is USPS delivers this package (for some reason) and it arrives damaged on a regular basis. Frequently (more then 3 times or I wouldn’t bother writing this) the box is broken, ripped, and damaged. Amazon customer service responds quickly to remedy the issue. However, it’s easily fixed with just some attention to detail on the Post Office delivery people.

great for picky dogs (at least for both of mine)
This food works great for both my dogs. I will write out a description of their dog food history and health history to see if this food works for you!First dog, 4 years old german shepherd mix rescue:- she has many allergies (but no food allergies) and this is one of the only foods that does not make her itch- her “business” is always regular and she never direaha (she used to on Kirkland food)- her coat is healthy- affordable for the ingredients / quality- she is very picky for other foods (wont accept it as treat, will only eat once a day), but with this, she is always hungry for itSecond dog, 1 year old corgi:- used to buy Arcana for him thinking that he would love it, but he got tired of it and I switched him to her food. He loves this food so much more.- his “business” is always regular- no issues at all since he switched to this foodoverall, i would say try it out to see if your pet likes it! both of mine love it

Power to change!
Bears had just fought 2 cancers and was in horrible shape I decided to switch to this when he got CHUSINGS DIEASE dianagosis right 2 months after his last cancer surgery. His skin was in terrible shape, he was getting cysts, clogged pores, major hair loss especially. And oh! The weight gain..in five months he put on almost 15 pnds topping off at 123, he’s normally around 103-108. After just 3 months it’s really incredible he’s long beautiful coat is coming back in that I loved so much, he’s energetic agin and down 15 pounds ..moving to 5 acres helped and praise all that’s holy no more nasty cysts! I’m so happy to say their is a DOG FOOD that’s NUTRITIOUS AND GOOD for OUR DOGS AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM..Iam paying about 18 dollars more each month but to keep my best friend by my side is so WORTH IT!

Finally a dog food my 13 months old Beagle loves
We have tried so many different foods. We found out what he loves is anything with chicken, so we tried different ones but he wanted to eat our food. So, when we bought this one he finally didn’t turn his nose in protest to “I don’t want dog food, I want human food.” But that was it. He eats daily and, of course, he’s a hound, so he can smell our food for a couple of miles and he tries to eat it, but, with the random real chicken, carrot, cheesy eggs and ham, and allowing him to lick our plates on occasion (free dishwasher, lol, jk), his daily meals (twice daily) are 1 and 1/3 of cups of the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Adult Dry Dog Food, Chicken and Brown Rice.I highly recommend for picky eaters.

Allergy solution
Our Yorkie had a terrible scratching issue to the point that we were concerned she was going to leave raw spots. Shampooing and skin treatments proved to be ineffective, so I turned to Dr. Google to try and find a solution. Lo and behold, many canines have allergy issues with chicken, which makes up the protein content in many meat-based dog foods. We switched to this product and she rarely scratches at all, leaving her happy and relaxed (if a Yorkie can ever be described as relaxed!) Highly effective for our dog’s issue, and worth a try if yours has a scratching problem.

The only food brand I buy for my dog. He really like this food. Sometimes I’ll spice it up and get him the wet food from this brand. I recommend this to every dog owner.

No egg!
We switched to blue buffalo after discovering our dogs skins irritations were due to eggs. This is one of the only economically priced brands that do not have any egg product in their dry food. Some of their products do have dried egg, but they variety of non egg product allows us to switch it up for our dogs. It’s great having the food delivered. Saves on gas! For me lol

Balanced, Low-Calorie
My dogs are Labradors, so the fact that they eat something isn’t remarkable. Even with exercise, Labs can gain weight easily. This lowest-calorie dog food helps to maintain a good weight. Of course, the dogs eat it as if they’ve never been fed.

My dogs love it – but currently out of stock
Yes and yes! Both my border collie and Chihuahua mix love it! Only that now it’s out of stock and I have to switch to the chicken flavor- I prefer to choose fish because intuitively speaking it would provide more omega acid which should be beneficial to their health… but don’t have detailed stats or hard evidence for that. I have already purchased the yellow chicken bag, will update whether they like that flavor.

I’ve not had problems with this food
I’ve had no problems with this brand of BB dog food. I just started shipments 2 months ago. After reading the 1 star comments I was concerned, but giving issues a thought it could be from over heating if delivered in summer. Dogfood maybe dry but there is moisture in it to an extent. If it goes from cool to hot moisture can occur (even with the dog food in the stores). I will certainly keep an eye on my dogs delivered food. But, I am not going to stop my shipments unless it is during a very HOT stretch of summer then I may pause shipments for those months. I do have to say BB is very good dog food. I own 7 Miniature Australian Shepherds and 1 toy Dachshund. 1 Aussie has some food allergies that dissappear with this food.

Good Food
Most dogs take some time to adjust to new food, but I mixed this in with his previous dry food for a while, and he was soon ready to eat this on its own. He likes it in addition to the cooked turkey or chicken I put on top for meals. This is more nutritious than his previous dry food, so I’m happy.

Why the exceptionally large / unaffordable price increase?
I needed to purchase a high quality, healthy, weight maintenance dog food for our * year old Lab mix Daisy. She has ballooned to 116 pounds in June since I am no longer able to take her for long walks. With the weight gain she has become lethargic, sleeping all hours even during the day and has become uninterested in playing with any of her toys. In addition to her not getting enough exercise she is acting very depressed and I can relate it to first the loss of mybeloved Australian Sheppard “Dito” 6 months ago and 2 weeks later the death of my wonderful husband in May from COVID. We all need to exercise and eat our way back to health. I talked to my vet and did my own research and found the Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight Life protection formula. The cost was out of my reach in our local grocery store so I checked here on Amazon. On August 1st I bought a 30 lb bag of the chicken and brown rice formula for $35.53. Daisy did not complain at all as I started to mix it gradually into her food. Feeding her 2 cups twice daily she started to lose weight without begging for scraps or treats so I assume she was satisfied. A visit in September to the vet had a weigh in of 101 pounds. Amazing. She was able to jump up on the bed, looking to play tug with her giant rope and had a little spirit again. The vet wants her at 80 pounds so we intend to keep her on this food. Due to the mixing with daisy’s old food for the first 14 day, that bag lasted 7 weeks. I purchased another 30 lb bag on September 20 for $34.26. I was checking prices on Prime Day for many of the deals and decided to buy another bag before I ran out and was shocked to find the price “Starting at $54.88” for the same 30 lb bag and not available as prime. That is a $20.00 increase!! Why?? I will find it very difficult to spend that much and I do not want to switch her food when she is doing so well now. I hope this increase is temporary…please.

No more scratching
We have at least one dog that is allergic to poultry. This is far cheaper than buying it at Publix, plus the dogs are no longer scratching and in misery. So much easier to have it delivered than for my disabled son to try and hoist it out of the trunk once we are home.

The dogs balked at the previous dry food. They eat this kind.
I used to think all dogs were always hungry and would always eat. My current pack is nothing like that. I switch around with both wet and dry dog food, as well as whether the pack gets dry in the morning, wet for dinner, or vice versa, sometimes the same thing both times. And snacks. Lots of snacks. I try to keep them from getting bored while also developing a familiarity, two obviously contradictory goals. They generally stop eating any kind of dry food I’ve given them, from Purina to Nutra Nugget, after a while. This one, Blue Buffalo, they’ll still turn up their nose to, if they can weasel their way into getting me to make them burgers or salmon or chicken (their favorite.) Instead of picking through their bowls for the meat and leaving the dry food to sit until later (just before bed), they’ll eat this too. I don’t have high expectations, so having them eat what I give them, when I give it to them, counts as a win for me.

Inconsistent quality
My dog has been eating this dog food for 10 years now. I have noticed that when I order it from Amazon the bags contents are very different from one to the other. Color, size, smell and sometimes the points cards are missing which makes me think the bags are very old. This last order the pieces were smaller and smelled better. Previous order they were bigger and lighter in color. When it comes to amazon I’m always worried about dupes and when it comes to consumables that can be dangerous.
