4 out of 5 stars
Great dog food, but it’s so expensive.
Only food my pit gets, but it’s so expensive and inflation is not helping here. But it’s a good product but hate the insane cost. It’s cheaper using Chewy when paired with a promo code… but I was being lazy and didn’t want to scour the web for one. Either way solid product.

    This food has great ingredients and provides solid nutritional value. It’s especially good for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and my puppy loves it. I had initially recommended it to others, but over time, it became a bit expensive. Still, it’s worth the investment for the quality it offers.

    I have a German Shepherd with a sensitive stomach, and this was the first food we found that didn't hurt her stomach. We went through 3 other brands, 6 variations total, including Purina pro plan. Blue Buffalo straightened out her stomach, and we never looked back!! I feed her a combination of this and fresh cooked meat as per her vets recommendation.

    Is Blue more expensive than some, sure, but when you figure it up, it's really not much more per day, and our furry family members are worth every penny and then some. We humans don't deserve the unconditional love of our dogs, they are too good for us! Feed them well, they will thank you!
