Customers overwhelmingly praise this puppy food for earning enthusiastic approval from dogs who eagerly consume meals and show visible excitement at feeding time. Most highlight improved digestion, shiny coats, and increased energy levels. Many cite natural ingredients and nutritional quality as key reasons for their loyalty, with previously picky eaters now finishing meals without hesitation. Customers express strong confidence in the formula's ability to support healthy growth and vitality. A small number report digestive sensitivities, though these experiences represent a minority compared to the dominant positive feedback on overall health improvements and digestive tolerance.

I’ve been trying Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice dog food, and overall I think it’s a pretty good option for dogs. It has real chicken as the first ingredient, and I like that it uses brown rice and other ingredients such as vegetables and added vitamins and minerals. Pros: Real chicken is the first ingredient. Contains brown rice, which provides carbohydrates and fiber. No corn, wheat, or soy. No chicken or poultry by-product meals. No artificial flavors or preservatives. Provides a good source of protein for everyday feeding. My dog seems to enjoy the taste and has no problem eating it. Cons: It can be more expensive than some other dog foods. Chicken may not be a good choice for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities. Some dogs may have digestive issues when switching to it too quickly. The ingredient list is fairly long compared with some limited-ingredient foods. Overall: I would give Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice 4 out of 5 stars. It has some good ingredients and is a solid everyday food for many dogs. The biggest downsides are the price and the fact that it may not be suitable for dogs with certain food sensitivities. As with any dog food, what works best depends on the individual dog.

Questions

1 - 4 of 4 Questions

I'm getting a dalmatian puppy this weekend, is Blue a good brand for him? I want to get something that either has no purine or low purine since it can cause stones to form in their kidneys.

  1. Blue buffalo has been great for our Dalmatian, she loves it. She is now 10 months old and we are still giving iti to her. I highly recommend it



We are getting a Boxer puppy in a couple of weeks and was wondering what type of blue buffalo puppy food would be recomended for the healthiest food option.

  1. Life Breed Formula Large Breed Puppy chicken and rice. Do NOT put a Boxer on any grain free food!



Our Goldendoodle has a exremely sensitive stomach. He has diarrhea all the time. We put a probiotic on his food every meal. How is this food with sensitive stomachs?

  1. My great dane/lab puppy has done well on this food after not doing well on other brands. I know everyone says to mix the new food with the old, but we just started him on this without mixing since the other stuff upset his tummy. It did take about 4-5 days for his digestion to balance out but he's been on it 2months now with no issues. And he actually seems to LIKE the flavor of it, whereas he didn't really like the previous 3 foods we tried. I'm not thrilled with having to spend so much on puppy food, but at least you get a good deal of 30% off your first repeat order and a normal discount of around 15% off regular price just by using repeat delivery! Good luck with your pup!



My puppy is 8 months, 105 lbs. the bag only show the amount to feed up to 80 lbs. how much should I feed him?

  1. 5 cups of food
