My dogs like this food
My 2 dogs like this food. It smells better than the last brand that I was feeding them. So far, we've gone through almost two of the 34 lb. bags. I bought it because it was on sale but will continue to buy more. Four stars instead of 5 because I only give a 5-star review to dog food that smells good enough for me to eat.

Miss leading. It should not have any chicken!
The front of the bag says no chicken. The ingredients say chicken. My dog is allergic to chicken. I bought this thinking there was no chicken. Very disappointed.

Hi there! Our packages state that we do not use chicken by-product meal or poultry by-product meal in our foods. We follow strict AAFCO guidelines definitions for feed ingredients. The AAFCO definition for meals prohibits the use of by-products. All of our "chicken free" offerings will have that called out on the front of the bag. You can also use the search filters on our website to specify only "chicken free" products. https://www.bluebuffalo.com/product-finder/dog/dry-food/ We hope this helps.

My dog loves the beef
I have aa 5 year old American Bully who's a rescue dog. He is the most picky eater I've ever had, and if he doesn't like it, he just won't eat it. I had challenges finding a food he liked, because he won't eat chicken, but I found this, it's beef, and he just loves it! He likes the life source bits, too. Since he's been on Blue Buffalo, his energy level is high, and his coat is shiny, smooth and beautiful. his stools are good, he never farts or has bad breath. So it seems his body likes it too. I'm happy that i'm not feeding him preservatives or artificial garbage.

My Pittie loves the Beef because the bites are small. She is a very picky eater and the vet recommended this. I like that it doesn’t contain a lot of fillers. We tried the Chicken first which she ate pretty well but she seemed to favor the Beef more.

Picky Great Dane
Great product, I have a great dane that wont eat anything but beef and is extremely picky and he loves this. Wish they made it in a large breed beef flavor. Trust me when i say we have tried the whole line of Life protection and this is the only one he will eat and thats not including all the other brands we have tried.. THANK YOU !

It is pricey, but worth it!
We switched from Iams because our breeder and other rottweiler owners suggested Blue when I asked for suggestions to help with bad breath and gas problems. We tried Blue and there was an in immediate improvement, so we continue to feed Blue to sour dogs. I will say they do not seem to like whatever the small, dark round pebbles are. They spit them out!

The Beef has arrived!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the package arrived, I just sat it on a chair as I was unable to check it out that minute. My dog Zeba must’ve known it was for her because she waited for me to open it. After the box was opened I could see why; it was the Blue Life Protection Formula Beef Recipe. Her tail was wagging and I swear she was licking her lips when I put it in her bowl. Zeba immediately began enjoying her food and I could see this would be on my list as her new food. Thank you so much for sending this.
