The puppy i am getting is already on buffalo blue and i know most of the time it is good to try to keep them on the same food. I was just wondering if anyone used it and what you think of it???
You bring up a good point, some dogs are ok with having their food switched and other's are not. Our vet advised sticking to one brand and one formula because our dog has an increased risk of bloat. Some of the deeper chested breeds are at a higher risk for bloat than most other dogs.It's a good food as everyone has already stated. But I thought I would mention that it isn't really good or bad to keep your dog one one food. Some say switching every bag helps prevent allergies. Personally I feed different things just because I can't imagine dogs love eating the same thing every day. Plus I like for her to eat different protein sources. Anyway, just thought I'd add that if you didn't want to continue on only one food, there is no health reason why you should do so, so long as you don't transition between them too quickly (which can cause temporary tummy problems, though my dog can switch cold turkey with no ill effects).
I fed Blue chicken to my dogs as treats for awhile; it was like a crack addiction. They loved it. I've never fed it exclusively, but the way the recalls of their company was handled didn't exactly enamour me to them. I used to figure "a recall is a rare thing though", and maybe it is...but if a company acts secretive when there IS a recall listed, what else are they not telling us? Dog food companies work FOR US, for CONSUMERS, not the other way around. And if I have questions, I want them answered...I personaly wont touch it, Blue is one of the treat brands that was importing chicken from china. I'm sorry, but if a brand name put out and product that killed dogs, I'm not even going to look at it.
Also I fed it to my cats for a while, and whole stinky batman. My cats smelled BAD.
I thought Blue Buffalo manufactured all of their products in the US - in fact they even address the chicken jerky on their website: http://bluebuffalo.com/news/blue-chicken-jerky-dog-treatsI fed Blue chicken to my dogs as treats for awhile; it was like a crack addiction.
