A nutritious, well-balanced dog food that promotes healthy weight and is gentle on the stomach.
I have been feeding my dog Blue Buffalo’s Life Protection Formula with chicken and brown rice for a while now, and I’ve seen great results. The ingredients are natural, with no harmful fillers or artificial additives. The nutritional value seems well-balanced, providing my dog with essential vitamins and minerals while maintaining a healthy weight. The digestibility is excellent; my dog has had no stomach issues, and her coat looks healthier and shinier. I appreciate the portion size guidelines on the packaging, which makes it easier to manage feeding. Additionally, the packaging is convenient with a resealable bag that keeps the food fresh for longer.

Great size little bites
My 2 chihuahuas were getting fat with just 1/2 of the same brand but the grain free formula so we opted to change it I was afraid that they might not like it or get hiperactive …!you know already are being a chihuahua says a lot but they are actin ‘normal’ lol as crazy chihuahuas I love it so far and they love it too

Our dog won't eat the yellow one
The other flavors our dog loves but he won’t eat any of the yellow bag. He’s refusing to eat it when normally he is excited for a new bag of the other flavors.

We're sorry to see your pup was less-than-impressed with this Chicken & Brown Rice recipe. We're glad you gave it a try & do appreciate you taking the time to leave your review. We're thrilled he is a fan of our other BLUE Life Protection Formulas- you can explore the entire line here: https://bluebuffalo.com/product-finder/dog/dry-food/life-protection-formula/.

Great for weight control!
I bought this dog food about 1 month ago for my Shih Tzu who had gained 3 lbs. She has always maintained a weight of 11 lbs & over the very old Winter had gotten up to 14 lbs. I could tell she just wasn’t her same active happy self so I set out to help get rid of those 3 lbs. My only problem was she is VERY fussy about her food! I ordered a bag of this dog food. At first she didn’t want to eat it so I had to get inventive. I cooked some 100% ground Turkey w/no seasonings & sprinkled about 1 tsp of it on top of this food; she gobbled it right down. As of now(about 4 wks later) she has lost 2 lbs! I love this food for her! The bag gives instructions for daily amounts for losing weight @ maintaining weight. R cause of that I will be keeping her on this dog food! Highly suggest for any dog with a few lbs to lose!

Weight management
Great ingredients for my 5 year old golden retriever! I have him on weight management now because he needs to loose 3-5 pounds, the packaging is great with nutritional value still while cutting calories!

My dogs favorite
My dogs favorite dog food. I feel good feeding my dog something where I can read all the ingredients off the back of the bag. You can tell this is high quality food and it’s the only dog food my dog will eat.

My dogs did great with the formula. Unfortunately the price has gotten so high, I've had to switch brands.
