Life Protection Formula Adult Dry Dog Food, Helps Build and Maintain Strong Muscles, Made with Natural Ingredients, Fish & Brown Rice Recipe, 30-lb. Bag

My Golden is crazy about this mix -after 2 years we find the right food!

I read a lot about this food prior to making my purchase. My dog recently suffered from life-threatening bloat...amazingly she survived :) To reduce the chances of future bloat I am now feeding her 4-5 times a day instead of only once. After researching, I found that a food high in protein and low in carbs/corn type grains was healthier and possibly less likely to cause bloat (there is very little known as to the causes of bloat so most information is just theoretical...no definitive findings). Well, I was happy to find that Blue Buffalo foods seemed to be tailored to exactly what I was in search of! In addition, my dog suffers from allergies and I had been supplementing her with Alaskan Salmon Oil for added Omega-3 and Omega-6. After reading about the Blue Buffalo Fish & Sweet Potato food I saw that it offered the additional Omega's and that if she was to eat it I would no longer need to do the separate supplement. Everything sounded wonderful! I placed my order and it arrived promptly. I tried getting her to eat the food for about a week or two before I decided it was a no go :( I tried mixing it with hot water for gravy...still, she never did take to it. She is typically a very accepting dog when new foods are introduced...however, with this food she was not. I wasn't bothered by the smell as were some other reviewers, but I'm not surprised by that since I had become accustomed to the salmon oil smell already. All in all, I do wish she had taken to the Blue Buffalo brand foods as I really like the approach they take with the ingredients and preparation methods. I tried her on the Lamb flavor too but she refused that as well. Although my experience with Blue Buffalo brand turned out to be one that wouldn't work, I would still recommend giving it a try for your pampered pup. It is a great food! Great ingredients! And made in the U.S.A. which is a definite plus! If you have the same problem that I did, the company offers a 30-day money guarantee through whatever retailer you buy from...IT'S WORTH A TRY FOR SURE!!! If you visit their website and fill in a short form they will snail-mail you a $5.00 off any size bag coupon :)

I am lucky to be able to purchase premium food for my two dogs, and I always choose Blue Buffalo. I have a Great Dane and a Sophie (we have no idea what she is) and both love the sweet potato and fish blend the best. Sophie has some digestive issues on other low end food, and this has cleared all of those issues up. My great dane doesn't eat as much with this food as she did with a lower end food, it is very filling for her. I did have a one time issue with a bag arriving split open and half empty, and Amazon's amazing customer service came through for me. They immediately replaced the bag at no charge and shipped it next day for me, no questions asked. The price for this food is high, but I feel that my dog's are a lot healthier because of the higher quality food. The price is great (and cheaper than my local pet mega-mart), I just wish that Amazon would offer a subscribe and save!

**** EDITED to let everyone know our sweet doggie had to be put to sleep yesterday as she was suffering to greatly. Vet thinks its from mold in her food. **** Our dog right now is on a IV at the vets and they are trying to keep her alive. She has been very sick since consuming the last bag of Blue that came from Amazon two weeks ago.... If you read on you’ll find that other dogs and their owners are experiencing the same thing. I really hope that Blue Buffalo will refund our vet bill because they can in no way give our dog her life back if we loose her. I’ve received five emails from Amazon since 6:30 PM last night. I’ll post a picture of that below as to save anyone else from going though what we are. My dog has eaten this exact food for maybe six years without any issues and we always order from Amazon so I’m not certain what happened with this batch. You can also read consumer affairs the reports from the last 2 to 3 weeks about this food to be the same as the complaints here on Amazon. For whatever reason this food is making some dogs very very ill. Are started with vomiting, losing weight, being lethargic and then blood in her stool. Are smaller dog ate about a half of a handful of it and became sick as well, not the food we normally feed him so he was switched back over instantly..... Don’t risk it!!! Of course we tried to call the blue Buffalo number and they won’t be open again for phone calls until Monday and I got that email after they were already closed on a Friday night :( Younger dog may bounce back more quickly but due to my dogs age they aren’t sure she is going to pull through. She has jaundice and her liver is not working properly...She was a perfectly healthy dog before eating this last batch of food.

This. Bag. Is. HUGE!! When we saw this box on our doorstep, we had no idea what it was - maybe a table, huge cutting board, or a piece of furniture? As the owner of two small dogs, we had never gotten a really big bag of dog food before. Enter the Blue Buffalo mega bag! We felt like we were dog owners with a Saint Bernard when we opened up the box and saw this giant bag of fishery for the pups. The dogs had really been enjoying Natural Balance dry dog food that was fish and sweet potato flavor, but it was a little too pricey. We switched to Blue Buffalo gradually and the pups love it just as much, if not more! One of our dogs used to eat wet food, but he really loves Blue Buffalo products even more. It's been substantially easier for us and it's been a lot better for his teeth to eat dry dog food. The wet, raw food he had been eating was leading to a lot of tartar build up and we're really happy that we have him on a food that he likes that's good for his teeth. They've tried the Blue Buffalo chicken flavor as well, but I think the fish is where it's at. For our two dogs (9 lbs and 20 lbs), this mega bag will easily last us months! We love Blue Buffalo products!
