Blue Buffalo Basics Turkey Puppy Skin & Stomach Care Dry Dog Food, 24 lb

After a few trips to the vet due to, um, "looseness", we finally discovered through trial-and-error our pup had an allergy to chicken, chicken meal, and chicken by-products. Of course, nearly all dog food and treats have chicken in it in some fashion. We switched to this kibble, and not only does he enjoy it, his poop firmed up, his coat remained silky and shiny, his weight is still in the proper range, his muscles are toned, and he is still growing like a weed (actually he is slightly ahead of his growth curve). It's a little expensive for the bag size, but our choices are limited. We are fans of Blue and this product, and we recommend anyone who has a dog that has chicken-intolerance or allergies like ours give this food a try.

Nothing but the best for my two new additions. I just wish the price was a little cheaper. However, in addition to homemade dog food, ( provided you are fulfilling all of their nutrient needs) it's a great thing to have in the dish at all times. I recommend looking up "the full Bowl theory". Puppies are growing at a super fast rate, it's really important that they are able to eat when they are hungry. Also it's good that they learn early on to stop when they are full. Dogs have a very weak satiation when you took about response and sometimes don't know when to stop eating. Especially if they only get a certain amount once a day. It's actually best to feed your grown dog twice a day, half in the morning and half in the evening if you are not using the full Bowl Theory method. It's better for the digestive system and they aren't left with horrible hunger pains at the end of a 24-hour period.

Our 14 year old GSP was having a tough time keeping weight on. If we feed him too much, he vomits. Not enough and he loses weight. There is a fine line to maintaining his weight. This food definitely helped. Its easy on his stomach, and because its puppy food, its got 20% more calories per cup than adult dog food. He doesn't love it the way he loved another food, but he eats it. And it stays down. Good stuff. Don

I love the dog food brand Blue, it has a great reputation for serving our dogs healthier choiced dog food then the cheap stuff with all the added bad products to fill in the food. This type of dog food has helped my dogs stomach a lot. He tends to not have normal bowl movements and has lots of gas if he eats something other then this dog food. For the price of the big bag, it lasts a long time and worth buying that then wasting your money on the little bags that run out quickly.

My dog has food sensitivities and I had a hard time finding a puppy food she both liked and that she could eat. This one seemed to give her softer, lighter color stools than I would deem healthy. That said it worked for a couple months before she was switched to another brands adult food. It’s a decent option in a pinch when you’re dealing with a picky eater with food allergies.

This was the food we ended up going with for our Cocker Spaniel puppy who was told to avoid chicken, beef, wheat, corn, and soy due to recurring ear infections. He is a picky eater (we tried dozens of kibbles) and this is what we finally landed on! Would highly recommend!

The first month I had my puppy I was feeding him grain free/real meat as first ingredient, but it wasn't Blue Buffalo. It was some other brand that was a lot cheaper. My puppy liked it but I got to thinking that just because its grain free and chicken was the first ingredient didnt mean it was good quality. (It was seriously like $16 for a 15lb bag). So I switched him to this Blue Buffalo and he LOVES it. Not only that but as soon as I switched his food I noticed his coat became so much softer and shinier. He gets so many compliments on it. That alone is proof enough that this is better for him. I am willing to pay the price for my healthy pup.

My dog is picky and this is her favorite food other than smoked salmon! This is high quality ingredients and no meat-byproducts. I tried many brands-Nutro was good but too rich. Merrick Whole Earth Farms was making her have runny stools. The ingredients of the whole earth farms look okay, but then I realized it was meat by-products and it very clearly made me deal with diarrhea from my dog. The Blue Buffalo is worth the price and the best quality available.I am a dietitian and researched dog food. I also supplement with homemade meals, when possible. This is the only brand I trust. There are so many with unethical practices and uses by products that will make your dog sick. Blue Buffalo is part of my insurance plan to keep my dog healthy. Great product and dogs love the taste!
