Excellent Dog Food! Highly Recommended
I recently started feeding my dog this product, and I’m extremely impressed with the results. The ingredients are high-quality, the formula is gentle on the stomach, and my dog absolutely loves the taste. I’ve noticed better energy levels, a healthier coat, and improved digestion since switching to this food.

Love it! 🙂
Wanted to see how my dog would do before committing to a bigger bag. The first thing I noticed was the ingredient list with real chicken as the first ingredient, no by product meals, and no corn, wheat, or soy. That gave me confidence, it was starting on the right foot. 🙂My dog took to it right away, no hesitation at the bowl, and the transition from his old food was smooth. After about a week his coat looked shinier and his energy stayed consistent without any stomach issues. The kibble size was easy for him to chew and I liked that the bag was resealable which kept it fresh. 🙂The only drawback is the price. It is on the higher end for a kibble in this size and I know there are other brands that offer similar nutrition for less. That said the quality feels solid and the trial bag is a smart way to test it out before making a bigger investment. 🙂❤️

Good brand, but expensive, not my dogs top choice
A little pricey. Dog food okay, but didnt pass the 3 day test with my picky older dog. She will eat food for 2-3 days then turn her nose up….. end result a few months later, she is old, and mostly gets what she wants, she prefers wet off brand dog food

My dog looks forward to eating her food instead of dreading it all day!
This dog food is nothing short of a miracle in a bag—it has completely changed my dog’s life in ways I didn’t even know were possible and turned me into a lifelong, loyal fan. My pup, who used to nibble half-heartedly at meals and suffer from dull fur, low energy, and the occasional upset stomach, is now a *completely new dog*—vibrant, full of life, and glowing with health. The moment I opened the first bag, he came running like it was a five-star meal, and he’s never looked back; his bowl is licked clean within minutes, every single time. His coat is shinier than it’s ever been, his eyes brighter, his energy through the roof, and best of all—his digestion is finally spot-on (no more midnight potty emergencies or mystery smells). You can tell the ingredients are premium just by the smell—rich, clean, and honestly better than some human food out there. It’s like giving him a gourmet meal every day that also happens to be a powerhouse of nutrition. I feel so good knowing I’m giving him the absolute best—this isn’t just dog food, it’s *love*, *health*, and *joy* all packed into one magical bag. If you love your dog even a fraction as much as I love mine, do them—and yourself—a favor and get this. You’ll see the difference, feel the difference, and your dog will love you even more for it.

Good dog food, good customer service
No problem with product. Original order was 2 day shipping but got delayed. I wanted to cancel and reorder because I was out of dog food but it wouldn’t cancel. I contacted customer service and my issue was solved, and included a credit. I was very pleased with how my issue was handled. Thank you Amazon, A++!

Pepper Approved: Fresh Taste and Healthy Ingredients
Pepper can be a little picky, but she took to this Blue Buffalo chicken & brown rice recipe right away. The kibble size works well for her schnauzer teeth, and I noticed she finishes her bowl with less mess compared to other brands. The food smells fresh, not overly processed, and it seems to keep her energy steady throughout the day. I like that the ingredients list is straightforward—no fillers I don’t recognize. The only drawback is the bag’s seal, which could be sturdier for storage. Overall, it fits nicely into our routine and feels like a healthier choice for her.

rebuilt my dog’s muscle tone and coat health
Blue Buffalo’s salmon and brown rice formula rebuilt my dog’s muscle tone and coat health, turning picky eating into enthusiastic mealtimes with natural ingredients free of by-products. Skin issues and hot spots vanished after the switch, proving the omega-rich salmon supports vitality even in active chewers like mine. The 34-lb bag offers great value for multi-dog homes or long-term feeding, arriving fresh and lasting weeks without waste. Dogs love the taste—wet or dry—and it pairs well with toppers for extra appeal.
