Blue Buffalo Small Breed??

[HarleyHOO]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has fed their baby the Blue Buffalo small breed formula? Harley hasn't experienced any problems on her current food, but after reading so many discouraging things about main stream pet food these days, it got me worried! So I'm looking into this brand as I've heard it's got really good ingredients. Any thoughts would be appreciated

We have two yorkies, when I first got them we bought the Eukanuba puppy bites, I thought because it was so expensive that it must be good. Wrong. Our littlest baby girl started chewing her hair on her hind legs and scratching all the time! Finally after lots of research I bought Blue Buffalo, that helped a lot, but didn't fix it totally, so I added dinovite vitamin powder to it as well. Not only do they love the food now, after 3 months of being on it, her hair is growing back and she is actually shiny! so I think it really is great food. I try to stay away from dog biscuits too, only natural treats.

Yes my babies are all on it and it shows!! When I got all of them from the breeder their fur was very thin and not much of it. Now after being on it from a puppy I've noticed the difference.

They use to leave the black source bits and not eat them however now everything is gobbled up. Their fur and poo is always hard and they are healthy and happy. What more could you ask for. I switched from Royal Canine dog food.

Big difference in fur being thicker, much more of it and grows faster. Holistic food all the way!

I really like the Blue Buffalo TV commercial!! I have not seen any "good" dog food companies have commercials expect for Blue Buffalo!! I love how they say "Do you know what is in your dog's food from the grocery store?"

My puppy is almost 6 mos and we feed her the blue buffalo puppy formula. She has done really well on it, so far no upset tummy and her poo doesn't stink (sorry, I know, kinda gross).
They changed the kibble to a smaller size on the puppy formula. I wish it had been like that when we first brought her home because we would have to break it into smaller pieces for her.

My two are on TOTW right now and I just read a thread earlier this week about it being bad. There is not much choice where I live but Tractor Supply cares the BLUE and I had considered trying it since they now have the small breed variety. I was going this weekend to get their kibble since they are running low. I am going to get a small bag to transition them from TOTW.

Mine used to leave the black ones all over the kitchen!! Now that the Dino-Vite is on all of the food they eat those too! So funny, must be something Yorkies don't like about those pieces! It really helps their fur though, I agree.

Oh no, not again! Mine love TOTW and I felt so good about it, now it's bad too! Well, I guess I'll try Blue too. I'm like you, I don't have much choice either. Keep me posted, Michelle, on how your babies do on Blue. Thanks for the info.

I know Judy, mine love TOTW too. But according to the food lists for dog foods that contain ethoxoqin(sure spelling is not correct) they use it. I just hope mine will eat the Blue Buffalo. I am going to get it this weekend while I still have enough TOTW to transition them. I'll keep you posted on how they do on it. Jada is not very picky so I think she will do ok(she is miss piggy and will not turn her little nose up at much) but Bogie is a little bit picky.

Prince loves Blue Buff. He's been eating it for about two years. He only eats the dry kibble, and refuses to eat the small, hard life source bits. (He also eats Solid Gold).
If you email Blue Buff, they will send you a sample (lasts about three weeks) and a five dollar coupon!!!!
If you ever have a problem with any of their products, just return it to the store for a full refund. I bought Prince their peanut butter health bar, and he didn't like it.

When we got Winston he was on ProPlan Puppy & I switched him off to Blue Buffalo after doing some research. He has more energy & is healthier. He didn't have fur problems, so I didn't notice a difference there. If you go on their website you can get a coupon for $5 off. He's been on Blue for 2 mos. now. No problems.

We are switching to this food also. Bought the first bag yesterday at petsmart. (no on told me they carried it or I would have gotten it sooner). In another post I mentioned the food and someone said it does contain the ethoxoqin (however it is spelled). She said she thought she read it somewhere that it is used to preserve the fish and they do not have to list it on the bag. Only person to mention it though and she may have been mistaken. How do you know? Didn't ask where she heard it. All else I have heard is great. We are still going to use it. if she eats it. Bought the puppy food to start most of the ingredients are the same as the small breed on the bag and my Fiona is under a year. I like using it until a year old.
Good luck!

My Sophia has been on Blue for a few months now and she loves it, especially the Lifesource bits! She will nose her food bowl and spill out the dog food on the floor then eat it.

I feed Fiona the Blue yesterday and today, and it may be wishful thinking but I swear she has more energy! I heard her bark for the 4th time since I had her and she has wagged her tail more today then I have ever seen. I would think it would be to early to see any results but she sure is having a great day!

I bought a bag yesterday. Last night I started the transition from TOTW . It may just be a coincidence but Jada and Bogie were both more active last night and today. I just gave them 25% of the Blue and 75%TOTW the last three feedings. Bogie has been bouncing off the walls with energy and they seem to really like it too.
