  • Great choice when bringing a puppy home.
Flavor Name: Standard Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 5 pound (Pack of 1)
I've been using this dog food for my Labradoodle since the day we brought her home on 09/07/2025. She really enjoys the dog food, which is the only one she's ever had, and she has grown a lot and is very healthy. Every time she goes to the vet, they always compliment her on how healthy she is and how shiny her coat is. It's a great value for your money because it's not too expensive, unlike some other dog foods that can be pricey and may not provide the necessary nutrients for a dog's growth. I am subscribed to receive this about every two weeks to make sure she doesn’t run out, so it does last well. She has never gotten sick from eating the dog food. I would definitely recommend this dog food if you're getting a puppy and plan to keep using it as they grow, because it has worked really well for us. ... show more

  • Good quality food, our dog loves it!
Flavor Name: Standard Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 34 Pound (Pack of 1)
We’ve been feeding our dog Blue Buffalo for a while now and overall it’s been a positive experience. The ingredients seem high quality and more natural compared to some other brands we tried before, and our pup actually enjoys the taste — which is a huge plus! We’ve also noticed that his coat looks shinier and he seems more energetic since switching. That said, it’s a bit pricier than some other foods, and not every formula agrees with sensitive stomachs — so you may want to try a small bag first. Good food overall, and would recommend if you’re looking for something with fewer fillers and better ingredients. ... show more

  • Tried & True Meal My Pup Actually Eats!
Flavor Name: Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
The Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Chicken & Brown Rice Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food has been a solid pick for our little guy. It’s packed with high-quality protein like real chicken and wholesome brown rice to support his energy needs — which is great because small breeds burn calories fast and need that extra kick to stay happy and active.  What I love most is that he actually enjoys meal time — no more sniffing and walking away — and the kibble size is perfect for his mouth. Plus, this formula skips corn, wheat, soy, and artificial junk, so it feels good feeding it every day.  Not every pup loves it, and sometimes the bag arrives dented from shipping, but overall this has been a reliable, tasty food that seems to support his digestion and coat condition really well. Definitely worth a shot if you want a good everyday dry food for a small adult dog! ... show more

Flavor Name: Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
This Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula for small breeds is excellent quality. The kibble size is perfect for small mouths, and it’s easy for my dog to chew and digest. It really supports high energy levels—my dog stays active, playful, and satisfied throughout the day. I appreciate that it’s made with high-quality ingredients and real meat as the first ingredient, with no artificial preservatives or fillers. My dog loves the taste, and I’ve noticed a healthy coat, good digestion, and consistent energy since switching to this food. ... show more

Great natural ingredients dog food. My dog loves this food. When I took my fur baby to the vet for the first time, I was asked what brand of food I feed her. He was impressed I chose this brand. It’s easy on her digestion. The price is reasonable.

  • Great dog food
Flavor Name: Standard Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 34 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dogs don’t love the flavor but their coat is lustrous and they are very health. I feel that their health is improved. I was using pro plan but I read some reviews of insects in the food. Sometimes the dogs would become nauseous after eating pro plan. This doesn’t happen with Blue Buffalo

  • Great Dog Food
Flavor Name: Standard Chicken & Brown Rice Size: 34 Pound (Pack of 1)
Very pleased when we found Blue Buffalo. The dogs' breaths were terrible with the previous dog food. This one has better ingredients for the dogs and their breaths are so much more pleasant. The price is great...larger amount for less cost.
