BLPF lamb & oatmeal for puppies package ingredients states chicken meal at the store; the website states no chicken. Why is there a significant difference between package label and your website? What is the correct ingredients?; website doesn't not allow adding information to items 2 & 3 below. Product MT420230.PE, bar code 8 40243 14413 6.

Chicken meal in it

Oliver’s Mom

1 year ago
I purchased this food for my puppy because he was originally on Hills which has chicken in it. My rescue pup came from a shelter that was supported by donations from Hill’s Science Diet, so I kept him on it. However, he started to scratch and lick/bite at his paws. That’s when I saw the chicken meal. So I searched for a new food. Shame on me for putting my trust in this food. I have found another food that I am transitioning my pup onto and will not be buying this food anymore. They answered another review and said no chicken or chicken by-products. Well, what is chicken meal made from then?????

Questions

1 - 5 of 5 Questions

Can this handle large cats?

  1. It will as long as cat is not a big litter digger



I have a golden doodle he is 13 months 75 pounds- can he start eating adult food or do I keep him on puppy food

  1. You can begin to feed adult food after 12 months, just let him finish the puppy food and mix it with the adult food.



rake

  1. This is with the plastic teeth. Ordered from Dr. Foster and Smith.



I have heard from a couple of pet stores locally that Littermaid is revamping their products due to many complaints. Are you aware of this?

  1. Nothing lasts forever. They have a warranty on their boxes. Because of the conveniences, I will prefer to buy the LitterMaid with the plastic teeth. I'm not rich. It's just so much nicer than digging around in the other regular boxes.



It says in the product write-up that Blue Buffalo is gluten free. Reading the ingredients, however, shows it has barley.

  1. Barley has gluten...It should be removed to be advertised as gluten free.
