  • Game-Changer for my sweet Goldendoodle with Chicken Allergies, Goodbye Constant Itching!
Flavor Name: Salmon, Chicken-Free Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
This food is a must-try for any dog parent dealing with chicken allergies or unexplained chronic itching. Finding a truly chicken-free food that our dogs actually like is a constant struggle, but this formula has been absolutely transformative for our sweet Goldendoodle. THE ALLERGY BREAKTHROUGH Our Goldendoodle, who suffers from severe chicken-based food sensitivities, used to constantly lick her paws and scratch her ears until they were raw. We realized we needed a formula that was strictly free of all poultry products. Verified Chicken-Free: The Blue Buffalo Salmon & Brown Rice recipe is genuinely chicken-free and contains no chicken (or other poultry) by-product meals. This is the critical feature we needed, and it delivers. Results Speak for Themselves: Since switching to this food, the difference in her comfort level is night and day. She is no longer constantly itching! Her skin irritation has dramatically subsided, and she is generally a happier, calmer dog. Taste, Texture, and Transition My dog can be picky, but she took to the Salmon & Brown Rice flavor immediately. Palatability She eats every piece of kibble, including the LifeSource Bits (the little dark pieces packed with antioxidants). This makes me confident she's getting all the necessary nutrients. Coat Improvement Beyond the relief from itching, the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from the salmon have noticeably improved her coat. It’s glossier, softer, and looks much healthier than before. Digestion We followed the recommended slow transition over two weeks, and she had zero digestive issues. Her stools have remained solid and consistent. Why This Product is Essential This isn't just a great dog food; it's a solution for a very common and frustrating problem. If you suspect your dog has a protein allergy, save yourself months of guessing games and talk to your vet about trying this formula. The immediate relief it brought to our Goldendoodle makes this product invaluable. Final Verdict If you have a dog that struggles with chicken sensitivities, this formula is a lifesaver. It's high-quality, made with natural ingredients, and most importantly, it worked wonders for clearing up our Goldendoodle's chronic itching. Highly recommend! My sweet goldendoodle thanks me! She has been eating Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Adult Dry Dog Food for many months now, so I have great confidence that it has been a game-changer for her allergies and health. ... show more

  • Quality Dog Food – Great Ingredients, Perfect Size for Small Breeds
Flavor Name: Small Bite Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 30 Pound (Pack of 1)
I switched to Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Bite for my dog, and it’s been a great choice. The kibble size is just right for smaller mouths, making it easy to chew without crumbling into dust. My dog adjusted quickly and seems to really enjoy the taste—no coaxing needed at mealtime. What I like most is the ingredient list. It uses real chicken as the first ingredient, with no by-product meals, artificial flavors, or preservatives. The formula also includes wholesome grains, veggies, and added vitamins, which makes me feel better about what my dog is eating. Pros: Smaller kibble size perfect for small dogs High-quality ingredients with real chicken as the first ingredient No artificial additives or fillers My dog loves the taste and finishes every bowl Cons: A little pricier than some big-box brands Strong smell when you first open the bag (my dog loves it, but it’s noticeable) Overall, this is a premium dog food that delivers on both quality and taste. It’s a solid option if you want something healthier for your small-breed pup. ... show more

  • Game Changer
Flavor Name: Salmon, Chicken-Free Size: 15 Pound (Pack of 1)
After several hours of researching "chicken free dog food" I settled on this to try with my Goldendoodle Millie. My poor girl was licking & gnawing at her paws nonstop and shaking her head like she was trying to expel demons so I knew she had allergies. I started with a pro/probiotic chew which helped but not enough. I discovered that doodles have a tendency to have a chicken allergy...who knew!?!? Many foods out there were advertised for dogs with chicken allergies but the 3rd or 4th ingredient, after the novel protein, would be chicken meal or chicken livers. Millie has been on this food for 3 weeks and no longer licks or chews at her paws, doesn't shake her head violently, doesn't paw at her ears anymore, and isn't constantly rubbing her muzzle on the ground or the bed to get itch relief! It is high quality, smells like real food, the color doesn't look fake, and Millie loves the taste! Definitely worth a try before asking the vet for allergy pills for sure!! ... show more

  • Good dog food but pricey.
Flavor Name: Lamb & Brown Rice Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
My little dog loves this food. The small size nuggets are perfect for her. It’s pretty pricey but I’m trying to justify the cost for my sweet girl - unless I can find a good choice cheaper.

  • Great for Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs & Chicken Allergies!
Flavor Name: Salmon, Chicken-Free Size: 30 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dog has a very sensitive stomach and is allergic to chicken, so finding the right food has been a real challenge. She also has a habit of eating things she shouldn't on walks or reacting poorly to random treats, which often left her with an upset stomach or loose stools. After speaking with my vet, they recommended Blue Buffalo for its quality ingredients—and this Salmon & Brown Rice formula has been a lifesaver. Not only does my dog absolutely love it, but her digestion has improved significantly. She rarely has loose stools now, and I feel much more confident knowing she's getting clean, wholesome food. If your dog has food sensitivities or stomach issues, I highly recommend giving this a try. It’s made a big difference for us! ... show more

  • My babies love it
Flavor Name: Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 15 Pound (Pack of 1)
So glad I found this high quality doggie dry kibble. Both my 25pound and the 8pound dog loves to chow down on small kibble as opposed to big kibble. This is perfect for them. Great value for money and does not upset their stomachs.

Packaged arrived in a box which I was worried about. Perfect and extremely convenient. After trying several flavors and a couple different brands, this seems to be the one they like. I add a little water to the bowl and they gobble it up.
