Is Blue Buffalo a good dog food?

I have been feeding my dog The Science Diet because it seemed so highly recommended. But I've had several people tell me that it's poor quality. Is Blue Buffalo a healthy food for dogs?

    Blue Buffalo is great. I fed one my dogs Blue Buffalo and it really helped with his coat.

    They also use a process called "cold forming" for their food in order to retain more of the nutrients.

    I've posted this on a few questions already, but I'll do it again. The Whole Dog Journal posts articles every Febuary and March that list the best dry and wet dog foods. Here is the list:

    Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7ky

    A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

    My dog does not like it... he's a puppy and had little to no appetite for it plus he ate tons of grass when he was on it... I finally found a food that he enjoys and that I consider good for him... as long as you exercise your dog, portion his food, and schedule his eating then you should be ok with any non-generic dog food... the difference between dog food isn't like Whole foods or McDonald... it's more like Organic food vs. Grocery Store food lol

    I'm not sure about Blue Buffalo however if you want to give your dog an excellent natural dog food, try Merrick. You can check their products out on the web.

    You are definately right about science diet, it is over rated over priced crap recommended dog food.

    I do not know about blue buffalo and i am sorry i cannot help u with that, but some really good dog foods are canidae, innova evo, dick van pattens formula, california natural and solid gold. wellness is also a good food.

    I am not sure my toy fox terrier eats it but it does not seem to help on the green food. She goes out and east grass. I have had to supplement with green bean. Oh well she is only 3 month old.

    Excellent food. I feed the lite formula to my miniature dachshund. No fillers, corn, soy or wheat. No connections whatsoever to Menu Foods (recalled dog & cat foods).

    I started using it because, even though I've been using Natural Balance for years, it just didn't agree with my dachshund like it had with my other dogs. She loves it. She also loves their baked treats.

    It's time to stop trusting the well being of your pet to just anyone who makes a pet food. If you are feeding commercially prepared pet foods, you need to listen closely.

    Did you know that the FDA does not regulate the pet food industry?

    Did you also know that most commercial pet foods are made from less than human quality ingredients.

    Did you know that most pet foods bought in the store have been sitting around for as long as 18 months before you buy it?

    Did you know that dogs and cats have the genetic potential to live 20 - 25 years but we are robbing those years from their lives with cheap pet foods.

    Here are just a few of the procedures that we follow to provide your pet with a safe and nutritious product.

    All the products are manufactured in a USDA facility.

    All of our ingredients are individually inspected for human quality and carry the APHIS certification (a European standard for human quality ingredients)

    Every vendor must supply an 'assurance statement' with each shipment. This statement must provide nutritional quality of ingredient provided AND must state it is free from any mold, bacteria, and so forth.

    Dr. Jane has the ingredients tested AGAIN before manufacturing to make sure the quality is as stated AND it meets her standards

    The product is tested 3 times during the manufacturing process - to again assure everything is 'as it should be'.

    The product is tested again after manufacturing and again when it arrives at the warehouse.

    One bag of food is kept at the warehouse - from each batch - to test in case a Customer has a problem or concern with the product. Each 'one bag' from each batch is kept for 1 full year.

    The products are shipped directly from HealthyPetNet's warehouse to the Customer - no middleman warehousing (concerns of proper storage and pest control).

    Can you say all of that about your current brand of pet food? Probably not. As I stated earlier, this is not a shameless attempt to capitalize on a tragedy, it is vital information that can save pets lives.

    Don't let your pet be another statistic. Please give our products a try today. Don't wait! For your protection, we are not sold in stores, you must purchase online for fresh and safe home delivery http://www.healthypetfoodbiz.com/
