Las croquetas tienen tamaño grande, nuestra perrita tardo algo de tiempo en acostumbrarse a masticar bien el alimento, algunas veces medio se ahogaba, pero parece que le gusta el sabor y la consistencia

My dog is a little punk when it comes to eating dog food so I had to try different dog food brands every time he refused to eat. He absolutely loves eating this and had no stomach issues the first time he tried it unlike some other brands. I will definitely be ordering always and forever till he decides that he wants something else!
Tamara Wothe –
Love the product for my dogs and I buy one more premium brand and mix them and my dogs are healthy, playful (even the seniors), anf their coats just shine. But watch Amazon shipping even if you have subscribe and save, lots of delays and back orders!!
Stacieee –
My husky loves this food. He likes the little bit & it’s easy to chew. Great product & great flavor 😋😋😋
ducky –
Product is great. But the Amazon driver left them outside of my gate instead of bringing it on to the porch! It was soaking wet from the rain and the boxes were crumbling! It was a hot mess
Poisonpony –
This is my preferred brand, and my dog loves it. He enjoys all the varieties—beef, chicken, and especially the Wilderness line. I love that Blue Buffalo uses quality ingredients and really cares about pet nutrition.
Plus, their Subscribe & Save deals on Amazon make it easy and affordable to keep his bowl full with the foods he loves. Highly recommended!
Charles –
Wanted to see how my dog would do before committing to a bigger bag. The first thing I noticed was the ingredient list with real chicken as the first ingredient, no by product meals, and no corn, wheat, or soy. That gave me confidence, it was starting on the right foot. 🙂
My dog took to it right away, no hesitation at the bowl, and the transition from his old food was smooth. After about a week his coat looked shinier and his energy stayed consistent without any stomach issues. The kibble size was easy for him to chew and I liked that the bag was resealable which kept it fresh. 🙂
The only drawback is the price. It is on the higher end for a kibble in this size and I know there are other brands that offer similar nutrition for less. That said the quality feels solid and the trial bag is a smart way to test it out before making a bigger investment. 🙂❤️

No problem with product. Original order was 2 day shipping but got delayed. I wanted to cancel and reorder because I was out of dog food but it wouldn’t cancel. I contacted customer service and my issue was solved, and included a credit. I was very pleased with how my issue was handled. Thank you Amazon, A++!

Been feeding this to my dog for a while now and he cleans the bowl every time. Coat looks good, energy’s up, and no stomach issues like he had with cheaper brands. It’s not the cheapest bag out there, but you get what you pay for. Solid stuff that actually makes a difference.

I recently started feeding my dog this product, and I’m extremely impressed with the results. The ingredients are high-quality, the formula is gentle on the stomach, and my dog absolutely loves the taste. I’ve noticed better energy levels, a healthier coat, and improved digestion since switching to this food.

Great natural ingredients dog food. My dog loves this food. When I took my fur baby to the vet for the first time, I was asked what brand of food I feed her. He was impressed I chose this brand. It’s easy on her digestion. The price is reasonable.

This Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula for small breeds is excellent quality. The kibble size is perfect for small mouths, and it’s easy for my dog to chew and digest. It really supports high energy levels—my dog stays active, playful, and satisfied throughout the day.
I appreciate that it’s made with high-quality ingredients and real meat as the first ingredient, with no artificial preservatives or fillers. My dog loves the taste, and I’ve noticed a healthy coat, good digestion, and consistent energy since switching to this food.
Arrived melted into one big mess!!😡 –
My dog LOVES this food! She’s healthy and thriving. No smelly, nasty poops.
Dennis Blue –
A quality dog food. I switch between chicken and beef to give some variety. I have been using Blue Buffalo for over a year now, and my Doberman loves it and has the energy she needs to stay active.
Chris –
We’ve been feeding our dog Blue Buffalo for a while now and overall it’s been a positive experience. The ingredients seem high quality and more natural compared to some other brands we tried before, and our pup actually enjoys the taste — which is a huge plus!
We’ve also noticed that his coat looks shinier and he seems more energetic since switching. That said, it’s a bit pricier than some other foods, and not every formula agrees with sensitive stomachs — so you may want to try a small bag first.
Good food overall, and would recommend if you’re looking for something with fewer fillers and better ingredients.

A little pricey. Dog food okay, but didnt pass the 3 day test with my picky older dog. She will eat food for 2-3 days then turn her nose up..
… end result a few months later, she is old, and mostly gets what she wants, she prefers wet off brand dog food
Tamara Percival –
Some of the better dog food I’ve bought. Both dogs like it and I’m happy.
Gabbie –
I really like this product because of its quality; it keeps my furry friends’ coats shiny and healthy.

The quality of this dog food is amazing. Our dog had such itchy skin and since saying this dog food, his itching has decreased so much. It has great nutrition for our dog.

Very pleased when we found Blue Buffalo. The dogs’ breaths were terrible with the previous dog food. This one has better ingredients for the dogs and their breaths are so much more pleasant. The price is great…larger amount for less cost.

Dog seems to love it, and the allergic symptoms she has on other, cheaper food have vanished completely
Amazon Customer –
The product is wonderful my dog loves it. I’ve been using it for 13 years, but what I wanna say in here because I couldn’t find any place else really is it was a mailed in plastic flimsy bag laying on top of two small plastic items ordered one being a pill box made of plastic. There were some spill of the food, but I still did not return. I checked to see if my pillbox was damaged but they still open and closed properly. It smashed the tan towels that they are still usable. Basically, I just want to say horrible terrible packaging. This should have never been put in flimsy packaging. It should have been in a box and not put in with the small plastic items laying on top of them. What happened to your quality control?

I’ve been using this dog food for my Labradoodle since the day we brought her home on 09/07/2025. She really enjoys the dog food, which is the only one she’s ever had, and she has grown a lot and is very healthy. Every time she goes to the vet, they always compliment her on how healthy she is and how shiny her coat is. It’s a great value for your money because it’s not too expensive, unlike some other dog foods that can be pricey and may not provide the necessary nutrients for a dog’s growth. I am subscribed to receive this about every two weeks to make sure she doesn’t run out, so it does last well. She has never gotten sick from eating the dog food. I would definitely recommend this dog food if you’re getting a puppy and plan to keep using it as they grow, because it has worked really well for us.

The Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Chicken & Brown Rice Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food has been a solid pick for our little guy. It’s packed with high-quality protein like real chicken and wholesome brown rice to support his energy needs — which is great because small breeds burn calories fast and need that extra kick to stay happy and active. 
What I love most is that he actually enjoys meal time — no more sniffing and walking away — and the kibble size is perfect for his mouth. Plus, this formula skips corn, wheat, soy, and artificial junk, so it feels good feeding it every day. 
Not every pup loves it, and sometimes the bag arrives dented from shipping, but overall this has been a reliable, tasty food that seems to support his digestion and coat condition really well. Definitely worth a shot if you want a good everyday dry food for a small adult dog!

After being told by the vet that my dog needed to lose a few kgs, we switched to this ‘adult’ dog food. She loves it, and she has trimmed down a bit.
Becky Beaty –
My dogs don’t love the flavor but their coat is lustrous and they are very health. I feel that their health is improved. I was using pro plan but I read some reviews of insects in the food. Sometimes the dogs would become nauseous after eating pro plan. This doesn’t happen with Blue Buffalo

Bought this for a Chihuahua and he doesn’t get all that excited with this kibble. But he’ll eventually piece and pick at it during the day. Oddly enough, my 90 lb. German Shepherd will clean the bowl in seconds if not kept away from it. The GSD gets the same stuff but for large breed senior dogs.
