Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this dog food for exceptional quality and palatability, with most dogs loving it even if they are picky eaters. The small kibble size is frequently highlighted as ideal for dogs of all sizes, from seniors to large breeds. Reviewers consistently report improved health outcomes including shiny coats, fresh breath, and healthy digestion. Many express strong trust in the ingredient quality and note long-term loyalty, with some mentioning veterinary recommendations. A small number report isolated digestive upset, but the vast majority consider this a top choice for their dogs' nutrition and wellbeing.

Good dog food but…

Trixie

My dog will not eat the small bits and she spits them out all over. I think it’s a good dog food but I’m going to look for another brand. I’m tired of picking the bits up.

No, I do not recommend this product.

HI Trixie, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re sorry this wasn’t quite the right match for your pup. We want mealtime to be enjoyable for pets and easier for their people. We appreciate you giving it a try and hope you find a better match for her!

My dog loves it!🐶

My dog adjusted to it really well, and i like the ingredients list. Her coats looks healthy and she actually gets excited at meal time! Her food is taking around 2 moths so it is very good.

My dogs love this food. The small bite chicken makes me feel better about them not eating too quickly and choking. I like to water it down for my dogs personal needs.

My rescue pup loves this food and it keeps her coat shiny. We only feed BLUE buffalo now and she is a happy healthy dog. We appreciate the size options so she can have small bite food as well.

The only brand I trust for kibble!

After learning about the crazy things found in dog kibble, I did a lot of research to find out what was healthiest and cleanest for my dogs, which led me to Blue Buffalo. While it's a bit more pricey than your standard kibble, it's well worth it. Knowing that my dogs are getting good ingredients in their food instead of this like saw dust makes my feel so much better. They also seem like they feel good when they eat it compared to other brands. This is the only kibble I'll buy for my boys, though I'll try different flavors from time to time.

All three of my small dogs spit out the round hard kibbles.Do you make a type without the dark round kibble in it?

We understand your concern about your pets reaction to our LifeSource Bits. Our LifeSource Bits will be in all of our dry formulas. These bits are a different size and shape than our regular kibble, and smaller pets with sensitive mouths sometimes have trouble with this. It's a common behavior called 'sorting.' Rest assured, the kibble is 100% nutritionally complete, and the bits add antioxidants. A simple solution many pet parents use is adding a splash of warm water to soften the bits and improve their aroma and texture. We hope this helps! Thanks for reaching out!

Good deal
