Not good for my puppy
Puppy has had diarrhea’s since she started on this food. Going to try a different brand

We understand that changing your pet's diet, especially for a new puppy, can be a sensitive process. To ensure a smooth transition and minimize any potential tummy troubles, we recommend introducing the new food gradually over a period of about three weeks. This allows your puppy's digestive system to adjust comfortably. New puppies already experience a lot of stress with a new home, new smells, and new people, so a slow and gentle introduction to their new food can make a big difference in their overall well-being

I wish they were more stars than five because they would get it. I have a little finicky puppy And He only will eat Every other kibble that I've tried Unless unless he's starving And I didn't even get the food poured in his bowl after getting Blue Buffalo He smelled it before I got it in the bowl and he was just jumping up and down I wish I could have caught him on my phone But once I put it his bowl down he didn't even look up It was amazing how much he loved it Awesome awesome product.

Best is Blue!
Great products for your furbaby! Bully Max was our favorite but the price is a bit to steep for us. We go thru 250 lbs of food a month. We live on 4 acres so we have 180 lb great Pyrenees, 2 80 lb german sheps, 2 shows, a a European doberman. All of them are fixed and our vet told us about Blue. They all love it & so do we! If yall haven't tried it? Your furbaby will thank you. Beautiful shiny coats, cute down on the shedding, and (not to be gross) their poopies are less frequent & dont smell as bad. Try it cause you won't be disappointed.

Trying this food for the first time and it has my 5 month old puppy pooping waaay more than usual. Some days, he won’t even eat it. He checked out great at the vet. I will be going back to his other brand.

Add some fiber!
Myself along with my fellow puppy owner friends are dealing with the same issue. Loose, stinky stool from Blue Buffalo puppy food. While we can't do anything about the smell (we've concluded from fish ingredients), we've addressed the loose stool. Each feeding we add a quarter teaspoon of organic pumpkin🎃. *Maybe Blue Buffalo could just add it to the list of ingredients??* This is a regularly reviewed concern with customers.

Beware. Check expiration date before giving your dog
THIRD TIME IVE GOTTEN EXPIRED DOG FOOD FROM TARGET. This last time was a “replacement” because the food expired 12/2024 -it’s September 2025. They sent me a replacement bag and this expired 12/2024 as well! Terrible.

Only Food She Eats
My 2 year old, 35 lb bernedoodle loves this food. It is the perfect size for her to chew without just swallowing it down. Or had never given her stomach issues. Great brand that I trust for my dog.

Our fur baby just loves this food. The smaller bits are easy for her to eat. Moxie is a Havanese and she is very active. Not just because she is a puppy, but due to her breed. When we got her she was 3 months old and was eating an off brand.I wanted her to have a quality food. We had seen your commercials and decided to try it. I could tell it was a good quality brand because it was a different type than what she use to, she never diarrhea.

Do not buy.
Do not buy. Purchased and brought home for my puppies. The bag was full of mold. Targets customer services advised me to bring it back to exchange for another bag. No thank you.
1 reply from Blue Buffalo Expert team - 7 months ago
So sorry to see that there was mold on these treats. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes mold can occur if the product was accidentally exposed to warmer temperatures, or the packaging was damaged/unsealed. We'd like to report this to our team and assist you further. Can you please reach out to us directly at https://bluebuffalo.com/about/contact/? Thank you.

Tasty and nutritious dog food
The price is reasonable. My dog loves the taste. I love that the ingredients are enhanced with vitamins and minerals. I also like that the packaging says specifically for puppy.
