It took a while before we were able to understand that the rashes he got was specially due to the chicken in his diet. Someone at petsmart recommended me this brand and their grain fr...

Wish they didn't change the recipe

I'm very frustrated that this food changed from fish meal to chicken meal. It's also extremely misleading that the front of the package states no chicken by products, which yes I understand what that means, yet the words "no" and "chicken" should not be used in the same sentence if the food contains...

Why change the ingredients???

I have been purchasing Blue Buffalo for almost 10 years now, since I was a Pet Detective for them while in college. Today when I was about to purchase a 34lb bag of Lamb & Brown Rice, I was horrified to see that the ingredients have been changed. Previously, the first two ingredients were deboned lamb and fish meal, now they are deboned lamb and chicken meal. I fed this flavor to my dogs specifically due to it NOT having chicken meal in it. My 5 year old dog has a chicken allergy, and if I had fed this to him I would have had no idea why he became sick/had an allergic reaction to food he's eaten his entire life. When making such a crucial formula change, you would expect to see some kind of notice on the bag alerting people. Especially when BB knows people feed this and non-chicken flavors to their dogs specifically due to allergies. I know have to search for the old formula of this product so I have enough to start a transition from it to something else. I'm extremely disappointed in this brand for their lack of foresight into how not sharing this change on the bag could impact the lives of so many dogs.

I have been a dog trainer ,breeder, and handler for 40 years, and this is the only food that I would use from puppy to senior! It is easy on their stomachs, easily digested, and it fills them up, so they are not begging throughout the day. All of my dogs have thick, shiny coats, and tons of energy!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I bought this food for my beabull, scrolling through the internet trying to find the best for my baby. i've noticed she's been trying to get in her food and laying in the kitchen more. there is filler in this dog food and is not filling her up as her old food did. if i could rate this a negative i would. it's sad that you charge so much for this food for it to be "good" but turn around and put bad stuff in it. do NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOG FOOD FOR ANYONE!!!

HAS THE FORMULA CHANGED ?

I have used Lamb and Brown rice for all my dogs and now all of a sudden they refuse to eat it. The color is much lighter and they behave like they did when I tried to feed them Chicken kibble on occasions. Has the formula changed ? Is there chicken in this now ? I cannot feed my dogs this any longer. I went to Basics Lamb but it's Grain Free. You can do better for our dogs General Mills this is not good as many dogs are allergic to or refuse to eat chicken kibble. I was a faithful Blue customer and sung your praises and now I have to switch brands.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
