Review of Blue Buffalo Basics Dry Dog Food, Turkey and Potato Recipe

Customer Ratings:

We've tried everything from organic dog food to Natural Balance L.I.D. (potato & duck), to finally this brand. We have a pitbull who seems to be allergic to everything he gets so miserable during flare-ups, which happens quite often. We've narrowed down several things he seems to be allergic to including venison, latex toys, and some unknown ingredient ("natural flavors" or canola oil perhaps?) in the Natural Balance dog food. The latest recall about dog food ingredients sourced from China got me researching Natural Balance may have their dog food facilities here in the states, but they do not deny they order ingredients from China. My dog was vomiting his food nearly every day. I've got two other dogs who didn't, so I thought it was more of an allergy issue than contaminant. But I don't like taking risks with my dogs. So, in searching for a dog food with limited ingredients, and a company that sources ingredients from the USA, I ran across Blue Buffalo brand. I read the ingredients which did not include "natural flavors" or anything else that I thought might be a problem. One of the ingredients is blueberries, and I figured they dropped in a few berries and mashed it all in with the rest of the food so they could include it on their ingredient list. Imagine my surprise and complete delight when I saw dried blueberries as part of the kibble! This is awesome there are truly enough blueberries to add antioxidants and other phytonutrients to their diet.

Anyway, within 2 days of feeding this to my pit, his inflamed skin started to heal. His energy level increased (because he felt good), his coat became very shiny, and he has not vomited once since being on this brand (I feed both dry and canned, as well as supplement with some homemade food). We've been dealing with his issues for over a year, and this is the first time he seems to have cleared up without the help of medication. He's been on Blue Buffalo for about a month now.

Update: The "blueberries" may actually be what they call "Life Source Bits" which do include blueberries, but also other ingredients. In either case, the food has done wonders for my dog.

For a long time, my dog had "stomach" issues we initially noticed when he was constantly having to go potty and was always gassy. Since then, we've switched him to various brands of food that had more "pure" ingredients. Switching over to these premium foods definitely seemed to help his intestines seemed to be functioning more normally. However, after months and months of staying on one brand/flavor, he began retching and vomiting every once in a while. I figured it was possibly the richness of the food so I did a lot of research on food specifically for dogs with sensitive stomachs and came across Blue Buffalo Basics. My dog has been on this food for the past year now and it's been top-notch for him! No more retching, great BMs and his coat has never been shinier! And as far as I can tell, he loves it too!

my poor puppy has been suffering with stomach problems from day one, i have done everything possible to help him out,

only time he got better was with bland food, but with my schedule is hard to cook for him everyday, but every dog food in the market we tried, and the poor pup would have diarrhea, this was so frustrating, so many trips to the vet, getting him on antibiotics, we tried the cheap foods because some people told us the high end was too rich, switched to the high end foods like wellness, and still my poor dog would get diarrhea. i got so frustrated, that i just cooked for him bland foods

turkey, rice and potatoes, until i started reading about Buffalo basics, tried it, and in 16 months of having this dog, its the first time he is not with diarrhea, not only that but his fur is incredibly shiny, i'm so happy, and i hope i can help others that have gone thru the same frustration!! it sure is costly but worth getting this than paying a vet!

Honest reviews on Blue Buffalo Basics Dry Dog Food, Turkey and Potato Recipe

Our allergy prone pit is most consistent on this food. We have tried everything and for whatever reason this just sits well. No over the counter food is perfectly allergy contained but for a main stream brand they are reliable and consistent.
