Good chicken based food
Great value and consistent size pieces and it gave my dog a good amount of energy. The packaging is attractive and well sealed too. Unfortunately my dog turned out to be allergic to chicken, so we had to change foods.

Not for senoir dogs
Gave my dogs bad gas and tummy aches. This is senior dog food and it’s harming my dogs. My dogs were throwing up. I don’t recommend. My sister in law gave this food but the regular adult one to her dog and was fine but mine almost died. That was not fun. I will definitely be returning this

My puppy loved it probably because of ingredients. The package is nice. Good serving size, easy to digest. I think its nutritional value is great!

Great quality senior dog food — just not suitable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always loved Blue Buffalo products for their quality ingredients and how well-balanced their formulas are, especially for senior dogs. The texture and nutritional value are great, and I appreciate that it’s made with real chicken and no artificial fillers. Unfortunately, my dog turned out to be allergic to brown rice, so we had to switch to a different formula. I still think this is an excellent option for dogs who can tolerate grains — it’s wholesome, easy to digest, and supports healthy skin and coat.

Best Dog Food Ever
My other dog had copper storage disease. I had Marvin checked and his enzymes were elevated. Common denominator was the food. I googled foods low in copper and it brought me to Blue Buffalo. His enzymes returned to normal within 2 months and he's been on it for 5 yrs now.

Great for a Senior!
Blue Buffalo Senior Chicken Flavor is like a gourmet feast for the classy senior dog who demands the best—even if that means taking a nap midway through dinner. This food is so packed with real chicken goodness, it might make your dog Winter suddenly start holding wine glasses and discussing the “subtle notes of poultry.” The flavor is so tempting that even the neighborhood squirrels stop in confusion, wondering if they’ve just stumbled into a five-star restaurant. Winter loves it because it’s specially made for seniors, giving her the energy boost to still chase her tail like a puppy—proof that age is just a number when chicken is involved. Expect plenty of tail wags, dramatic meows from jealous cats, and the occasional snuggle bribe to secure her seat on the couch. In sum, Blue Buffalo Senior Chicken is the chicken-flavored fountain of youth that makes your senior pup feel like the top dog again. Winter gives it her enthusiastic paws up, and honestly, so should you! Bon appétit, furry friends!

Good food. Wish the life source bits were just mix
My dogs enjoyed this food and I like that it is a healthier brand. I feel like I can trust their ingredients. My picky dog disliked the life source bits though and would pick them out and leave them all over the floor.

So glad we switched!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loved the flavor, and I loved the nutritional facts, all natural non gmo. The packaging was beautifully designed and sealed wonderfully. I worried about stomach upset when I switched from my dogs original food. She had no issues once switched. The little tiny pebble was easy for her to break down and enjoy. I'm definitely glad we tried it and will be a forever food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying this brand and I gotta say it just might be worth the money. I have 4 dogs from 10 pounds to 100 pounds and they all had great experience with it. No upset stomach or issues with taste. Great ingredients and decent sized bag for the value.

My dogs favorite food
We use this food as a kibble that is there all day for my pup after he has his breakfast. He really likes this food and doesn’t cause any discomfort or issues for him. He loves this food and we would truly recommend.
