Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this salmon and brown rice formula, with dogs displaying dramatic enthusiasm—devouring meals immediately, licking bowls clean, and begging for more. The chicken-free formulation has resolved skin irritation and itching in allergic dogs, with many reporting shinier coats and improved vitality. Reviewers deeply value the real salmon as the primary ingredient, appreciating the absence of fillers and byproducts. Even notoriously picky eaters have become enthusiastic consumers. A few mention small kibble size or minor digestive adjustment, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by overwhelmingly positive feedback.

BEST CHICKEN FREE DRY DOG FOOD

MKP78

13 days ago
Our Australian shepherd has been a part of our family since she was 5 months old. We have been careful in choosing the proper food & treats for her and constantly reading labels. We thought chicken was the right protein, and she was fine with it for almost 2 years. We soon discovered that she had developed an allergy to chicken, so we were searching for something that was completely chicken free. Blue Buffalo is a name brand that we trust and one of the few companies that offered an option free of chicken. After feeding her a small portion, she wanted more. So far, so good! No issues with her new food.

Don't look for big bags here!

Trying to order this straight from the producer, and the biggest bag I can only get is 15 lbs.?!?! That doesn't make sense when I can get a 40 lb. bag from a retailer. The salmon flavor is the only one my dog will eat, and I can't get the big bag.

My animals absolutely love this food! No allergies to this food so far and really good consistency with eating it! It doesn’t make their stool have a horrible smell to it either!

My 7 year old German shorthair pointer is allergic to chicken. This has been a great dog food for her to where her coat is not it ichy anymore. She is also kinda picky and gobbles up this food!

This product was the biggest game changer for my dog’s eating habits. He was very inconsistent in meals until we introduced him to this food. With the salmon and brown rice recipe, this food not only helps my dog’s coat but is great for his digestion.

Blue helped my dog with his allergies.

SusanS

My dog would get severe ear infections, due to allergies from his food. We tried many different brands and nothing would change. Then a friend suggested Blue, and once we switched, his ear infections stopped. I will never buy any other dog food again. The small price difference is worth it for the higher quality, and my dogs health.

Stomach issues gone

My dog Blue did so well on Blue. He was having stomach issues and I switched over to this because a friend recommended it. After a few days his stomach issues stopped and he is eating better and has more energy now.
