OUTSTANDING quality and value!
I am thoroughly pleased with Blue Buffalo dog food (specifically, the chicken & brown rice recipe for large breed, and large breed senior dogs).I have a 72 pound Black Labrador Retriever (very small for this breed, but still “large”) – He is 8 years old, and EVERYONE thinks he’s under 4 years of age.. . .. He runs around like a puppy. . .. Full of puppy-like energy and has has the nicest sheen on his coat; he actually looks purple when the sun shines on his fur. All of these great things have happened since switching him from other “premium” dog food brands.At roughly $50.00 a bag, one might be tempted to go with a less expensive brand, but here’s my particular take on this – My dog, again at 72 pounds, only goes through 5 bags a year (that’s only $250.00 a YEAR!) . . . . Here’s why:The conversion rate of this this food is amazing! With cheaper foods (which contain fillers and binders), a lot of stool is produced. On Blue Buffalo, I’ve noticed that my dog’s stools are MUCH smaller (better conversion in the digestive tract), and his portions are super small, since his body is actually USING more of the food, not just passing it through. The stool isn’t mushy and large. (A lot can be judged about overall health with monitoring your canine’s poop)Bottom line: At $50.00 a bag, I’m saving A LOT over the course of my best friend’s life, while giving him what I feel is the best food out there. Portions are so small, that I actually feel guilty when I give him so little at meal time (that’s from being conditioned to seeing larger portions when feeding a lesser quality food). His body and mind are years younger than what the calendar shows. Money saved, since I’m not buying a “cheap” $25.00 bag of dog food every month.

Minor problems switching food but great end results
I switched my 11 1/2 year old shepherd/rot mix about 6 months ago to blue buffalo senior and he started having horrible gas problems, after investigating and finding countless high priced vet options a simple suggestion was offered. “Spray some water on the food” some passer by in the vet office mumbled. This food is slightly dryer than previous brand but way better ingredients and this simple $0 cost solution has almost cured the problem entirely. My dog loves this food and even while he had the gas, he had consistent healthy looking solid stool, I know, great topic, but important. I’ve never had a dog make it passed 10 years and this guy at 11 1/2 still runs harder than most dogs half his age. Hopefully has a few more good good ones left and appears he healthier than ever since switching to blue buffalo

Senior shepherd approved
We adopted a 7 yo GSD and within a month or two, he started limping. I’d rather feed good food and supplement as needed than go straight for medication and gram for gram, this food had the most glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and Omegas than anything in its (admittedly rather elevated) price range. We switched Jake to this and not only was he eating better, coat looked better with less shedding, but quite a bit less limping. Still ended up on Carprofen 75mg 2x/day but we can walk 1.5 miles a day without any problem most days and he jumps up into my bed without blinking, so I’d say worth it.
