We've been buying Blue Buffalo Senior for 3 years, the last bag my dog would not eat. It was full of little black bits of aomething that turned her nose and stomach. They must have changed formula and not it is crap. Cannot recommend any longer.

I think I figured out why my boy doesn't like this food; it doesn't digest easily, I believe. On numerous occasions over the last month and a half, if he drinks water even an hour or so after eating 1/2 cup (75 lb dog), it makes him throw up. The dry kibble more than doubles in size and the color changes. It happened several times here and there and then again just now, and that's when I connected the dots. I was wondering why he didn't eat like normal, and now I know. It took most of a 30 lb bag to figure this out. Blue Buffalo is a great brand; I've used other kibble. I don't know, maybe it was a bad batch!

I switched to Blue when my dog turned 7, and while he is still very active at this age, he does really like the taste better than most other brands I have tried. The balance of this blend is great for most dogs. While it can't cover all a dog's needs as they get older, I do trust the ingredients, the quality, and the brand.

Questions

1 - 10 of 34 Questions

i'm giving my dog this brand she loves it but the one black or dark pebble that is in the bag she doesn't like it she will pick through it and leaves it doesnt eat it , can someone tell me what is it ? what flavors? pls thanks

  1. This happened with our dog, too. In fact, it appears that many dogs don't like the bits. When you consider what you're paying for only to have a good part of it rejected, the price per pound of eaten food goes up. We ended up switching to wellness core dog food.



What is the typical expiration of a bag of this dog food? We are gathering emergency supplies in one place that we can grab and go and would like to plan how often we will need to use it up and replace it with a fresh bag. Thank you!

  1. Not sure what it is if you keep the bag sealed, but we had some set aside in a plastic bag that molded after a couple weeks. 



My Australian Shephard just had a litter of puppies. I am looking for a dog food rich in calcium. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

    where is Blue Buffalo made,Any ingredients in BB made outside the USA?

      Currently looking for a different food for my girl. She has dry skin and a sensitive stomach. Would this work for her?? Trying to find a good healthy food that won’t break the bank. 

      1. Both of my four year old dogs are thriving on Blue Buffalo chicken and rice dry food. They like it, especially with a spoonful of wet food mixed in. However, neither has any history of sensitive stomach or skin issues. The food certainly meets their dietary needs and keeps them in excellent health. 



      To the manufacturer: why do you put salt and garlic? These two ingredients are not good for dogs’ health

        What’s the shelf life

          what size is the dry food? My shih tzu needs a small bite food

          1. I have four chiuahauas is this good for Chihuahuas they love chicken



          Where is Blue Buffalo made?

          1. All of Blue Produces are made in the U.S.A.



          what is the best dog food for my lab 5yrs old and gets very little excise

          1. I HAD TWO (2) LABS FROM PUPPY TO GROWN UP TO NOW PUPPY HEAVEN. AS THEY AGED THEIR NEEDS CHANGED AND WITH THAT THEY GOT A LITTLE SLOWER AND A LITTLE HEAVIER.WITH THE BLUE - LIGHT THEY LEVELED OUT AND DID WELL...UNFORTUNATELY WALKS STARTED TO END WITH ME CARRYING ONE OR THE OTHER HOME THEY WERE NEVER SHORT IN THE CARE THEY RECEIVED OR THE FOOD THEY ATE. THEY WERE VERY HEALTHY FROM BEGINNING TO END.
