Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this small breed puppy food for making their puppies happy and healthy. Most note their puppies eagerly finish meals, even picky eaters who previously refused other brands. Reviewers consistently report visible improvements including shinier coats, better digestion, and healthy weight gain. Many emphasize the small kibble size is perfect for tiny mouths and weak jaws. Customers feel confident in the nutritional quality and declare it their top choice for small breed puppies. A few report initial resistance or minor digestive concerns, but these are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic, long-term users who recommend it highly.

Those crunchy bits!

My dogs dachshunds 13 and 5mis are very happy and healthy eating Blue Buffalo. However I did notice my puppy manages to skip most of the Lifesource bits/black balls. I wish we could figure out how to make them easier to eat for puppies. I want the nutritional benefits but I think they are too hard to crunch.

The great ingredients and high quality brought me to BB when my senior dogs health was declining. When they passed and a new pup came into our lives, I knew we were sticking with BB. I always look for that blue diamond for treats as well. Paying just a little more for a better quality of life for a member of our family is worth it!

Questions

1 - 10 of 11 Questions

What quantity should I feed my 5lb Corgi puppy?

  1. I would give the puppy half a cup twice a day. A tip I picked up from Blue Buffalo is to sprinkle some warm water over the dry food to bring out the aroma. I do this for my dogs and they love it!



How's the size of the kibbles compared to 'baby blue buffalo for small breed'? and what's the difference between them?

  1. The kibble aren't any bigger the only difference is that the Baby Blue Buffalo is Brown rice and not Oatmeal. Also for teacup to small breed puppies the pink bag is best.



Where is this food made? If in the US, where are the ingredients from?

    Where is this food made? If in the USA, are the ingredients also from the US?

      What is the benefit of small puppy breed food vs puppy food; I own an morkie and he is currently on the puppy food but thinking of switching to small breed puppy food.

      1. Most complete and balanced small breed puppy foods contain the appropriate amount of nutrients for small breed dogs. They also have smaller kibbles, which are easier for small breed puppies to chew and are less of a choking hazard.



      what dry puppy food has omega 3 and 6 in it

      1. Add salmon oil to his food. It’s great for those 



      will this alter my puppy's coat?

      1. I have found that this food makes my dog's fur much softer.



      my shih tzu puppy is 40 days old by the time i go to bring her home she go be 2 month wich one you recomend me forher

      1. The small breed dog food is what I use for my 8lb chihuahua. She has no problems eating these pieces.



      Would a beagle qualify as "small breed" to eat this food?

      1. Beagles are medium sized dogs. So regular puppy food,not small breed food.



      Does this puppy food have red dye in it?

      1. I just re-checked label to be sure. But no, it does not. Everything is natural and full of vitamins.
