Donating YT 500 Club Member | I contacted Blue Buffalo via email and I will see if I get a reponse. I would like to know what the company is telling its consumers.... I am very sad... I really like Blue Buffalo and she has done wonderful on it. I don't want to jump the gun she is not even on that particular kind but If ALL of their products are not safe who is to say it couldn't happen again somewhere down the line to something else... |

| Good post!!!! Prince does well on Blue Buff, but thankfully, he has never had Blue Buffalo Wilderness Diet, chicken flavor. He has been eating the low-cal one for about 6 months, or more.

| No, this is the one Prince uses... Blue Buffalo - Healthy Weight All Natural Dog Food Prince's vet said that he is not over-weight, but my husband and I decided to try to keep him as leen as possible (we're still working on it.) We only give this at night when Prince wants a mid-night snack, or for breakfast.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | That looks good! I am the same way, of course Taycie is a puppy and she needs to grow but I was so curious about the Longevity line because it is designed for maintaining weight they even have a puppy formula... I was thinking of trying it.... BLUE Longevity – Healthy All Natural Dog Food |

| Cody is on the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Brown Rice for puppies. Is it only the Wilderness that is in question or all Blue Buffalo? |

| I believe so. And honestly, I still think Blue Buffalo is a good food. It sounds like they are doing everything in their power to find out what exactly is wrong, etc. So I wouldn't fret too much. But I thought it was interesting and needed to be put out there.. in case any ones Yorkies on here starting showing some of those symptoms and were eating BB. I feed their canned food a lot of times.

| Excellent post Thanks for posting the thread, and the link. The article was definitely interesting. I know that Vitamin D toxicity is one of the primary triggers for hypercalcemia. The two products which mainly contribute to this are fish oils, added to foods, and rat poison which contains cholecalciferol. This form of vitamin D3, causes an increase in the calcium level such that mineralization occurs in the kidneys, blood vessels, stomach and sometimes the lungs, thereby killing the animal. I am curious as to how many cases have been reported, and whether the issues arouse from a particular batch of food? If you come across anymore inforamtion Brit, please post. |
