Healthy, High-Quality Puppy Food My Dog Loves!
I can’t say enough good things about Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Food! The ingredients are wholesome and natural — no by-products or fillers — and I really appreciate that it includes DHA and ARA for healthy brain and eye development. My puppy’s coat is shiny, his energy is great, and his digestion has been perfect since switching to this food.The chicken and brown rice recipe smells fresh and appetizing (even to me!), and my puppy gets excited every time I open the bag. I also like that the kibble pieces are small and easy for him to chew. It’s clear this food is made with care and high-quality ingredients.If you’re looking for a trusted, balanced puppy food that supports growth and overall health, this one is worth every penny. It’s gentle on sensitive stomachs and delivers visible results — happy, healthy, thriving pups! 🐾

Generally positive, Got my dog through puppyhood, but take note…
I believe this food worked for my goldendoodle puppy. We Bought Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice for my puppy after acquiring her at 8 weeks of age. We switched her off Purina puppy because we wanted to go with a food containing no bi-products. Blue Buffalo fit the bill. Taste-wise, our pup did not discriminate. She gobbled up her BB food and wanted more. She grew up healthy without any problems.Once she hit around 8 months she would have occasional bouts with diarrhea. I’m not sure if it was due to the food or her adjusting immune system but from that point forward she would have these bouts approximately once a month. During these times we had to take her off BB and feed a bland diet of chicken, rice, and pumpkin to get her over the hump until resuming BB. This would always work but the bouts would return occasionally. We switched her to and adult blend – BB Wilderness (Chicken) at just over one year, hoping that grain free would alleviate this issue; however it still happened on and off.Our dog is now about 1 year and 3 months old. We are switching her off BB Wilderness over to the Merrick duck and sweet potato recipe (grain free as well). We never figured out the exact cause of these bouts and don’t know if the food switch will fix things either. The treats we give her were generally high quality consistent with her food and we never give table scraps. One thing we read was retrievers have been known to have food allergies and intolerances, and sometimes have sensitive stomachs. Then again, young dogs’ immune systems are constantly developing just as humans. Dogs can’t tell us what’s bothering them so it’s us to make our best judgment based on how their bodies react to things.My review is generally positive because I can’t necessarily blame this food for my dog’s occasional problems. Every animal’s body is different and these types of problems don’t always reflect on the quality of the food. For the most part she seemed to respond well and liked the taste as well. I think it would be good just to take note if other people experience the same issue.
