Blue Buffalo Freedom Grain-Free Large Breed Dry Dog Food, Supports Joint Health & Mobility, Made in the USA With Natural Ingredients, Chicken & Potatoes, 24-lb Bag

I've used many holistic foods over the years but Blue Buffalo is the best I've ever used. I like the Freedom grain-free large breed for my Aussies. They are 50lbs.+ and work hard. I like the extra joint support in it and the protein levels are good (I can tell by the smell that comes out the other end) and their coats are healthy and they were overall very healthy. I switched off Blue Buffalo to the Merrick's Before Grain Holistic- Blue Buffalo was hard to find where I moved to- a couple of years ago and really regret the switch; my dogs and cats all got very ill and my 2 Aussies (littermates) were diagnosed with cancer (one died last year). The surviving dog and cats have been switched back to the Blue Buffalo and are all doing much better- cats are fantastic and the dog is still battling cancer but he is obviously more comfortable and his coat came back nicely! I wouldn't mind switching within the Blue Buffalo brand- according to their needs as they age, but I won't ever swich off it again.My new trainee (a rescued Aussie) is on a diet and this food does not hinder his progress; when I first brought him to a vet I got scolded because he was 90lbs. and I explained I'd only had him 2 weeks and they wanted me to come back and get a prescription for a diet plan for Science Diet. I've worked with many dogs over the years and many foods- science diet is not the best- I didn't like the results when I'd used it years ago with a Border Collie who had a sensitive stomach (she still vomited every time she ate and didn't look the healthiest). I started him on Blue Buffalo Large Breed Grain-free, doubled the food recommended on the package (from the size/ weight chart) and slowly decreased it. He seldom acted hungary- he did once eat 1/2 a grasshopper but he never tried to eat the cats. If he was hungary I'd give him a small handful to hold him over until supper. A year later he's almost at his ideal weight (45-50lbs.), his coat is shiny now, he's more energetic, and he's getting to be quite a character too!

My Dobie loves this Blue Buffalo food and I vary the kind I buy a bit to avoid boredom. My previous Dobie died from food poisoning when he ate pet food from China. Before I purchased any Blue Buffalo I contacted them and they assured me in plain and straightforward terms that none of their ingredients come from China. This was a relief because other companies that I contacted would beat around the bush with BS about how it was made in the USA but they would not admit that some, if not all, the ingredients came from China. That made me really appreciate the plain and simple answer I got from Blue Buffalo. The more I check into pet food the more I see how sleazy some companies are with their "Made in the USA" label which they use to hide the fact that the ingredients are not made in the USA but come from China.Blue Buffalo is on the pricey side but not as pricey as having food from China kill your dog and cost you a couple of thousand bucks to replace him or her. I appreciate Blue Buffalo providing safe food and honesty in divulging ingredient sources.

This is my dogs food. Been feeding for 8 years. It’s a high quality food, not too high in protein. My dogs always get diarrhea with high protein food. I love it.

My doggy has a sensitive stomach and has all his life. When he was a puppy we bought Blue Buffalo for him but he was still a little stinky. As soon as we changed to the grain-free we immediately noticed a change. His coat is so healthy and I don't have a gassy puppy anymore. And we snuggle with him in bed so that's really great when I don't wake up in the middle of the night holding my nose. He has been eating Freedom grain-free for the last 6 years. I've tried Merrick's and a few other brands but Blue Buffalo grain-free is by far the best. And he gets so excited for every meal, he is never bored by his food

My dogs are all about that eatin' healthy life. I have a mastiff and a pitbull, both of which are pretty serious about there nutrition intake and general well-being (good for them). They used to eat a combination of chicken breast and cast iron but it was doing something weird to there teeth and giving them indigestion. They asked to try "regular dog food" which I thought was odd but we did it anyway. Between Alpo and Imes we gave it a go but there need for nourishment was unfulfilled until we tried this Buffalo Blue stuff. They both felt better, increased there bench press, picked up more women, and showed sincere enthusiasm for dinner time. This was a hit at the house. Good job Buffalo folks, my spoiled dogs told me to write this review.

I've been ordering BB dry AND canned food for my two dogs from Amazon for about two years now and never a problem, no torn bags, no dented cans AND quick shipping even during the China virus "hoarding period".Both bags and cases of cans come in a sealed cardboard box.GSD and Chocolate Lab both love BB.The Lab, who has somewhat of a sensitive stomach, has no problems even with a different flavor each time.ONE CAUTION: Not all BB dry OR cans is grain free. If you want GF, you need to read the description on each different flavor you order.

We've been impressed with this dog food. My pure bred golden retriever has some allergy to foods and gets hot spots and scabbing. We change to this grain - free, high protein food and he does well on it. It is comparable to Taste of the Wild, which is grain free and cheaper. However, my part poodle - part golden retriever is a picky eater and prefers the taste of Blue Buffalo. So we do a 3 part taste of the wild and one part blue buffalo to keep them satisfied and our pocket book heavier.Also, we found it is a few bucks cheaper on Amazon Prime than at our local pet stores and Tractor Supply.
