| Such a shame. This is what I had him on in the beginning but he's been off it for quite a while now. We really liked it at first, but he stopped liking it and not eating it so I had to switch him and then I kept reading bad things about the company so I am glad we aren't on that anymore. |

| Ugh I hate that brand. Not to mention almost every dog I know on it has GI issues.

I was at Petsmart a couple of weeks ago and a lady was right behind me in the check out line. She wasn't in line...but had just walked up to ask an employee about dog food. I forget the brand she asked about but he suggested Blue saying what a great food it was. I turned to her and asked her what kind of pup...she said a chi. I said right in front of the employee that she should google Blue and then I spoke briefly about quality control and suggested she might try RC or Hill's. She said she had thought about RC....so I said, you know they have one for Chihuahua's. ... and she thanked me and went back to the food aisle. After I checked out, I walked back and she already had a bag of the RC in her hand and thanked me. It makes me crazy when these companies encourage their employees to tout certain foods. I remember when Petco decided not to carry the food I use...Hill's Ideal Balance, they actually put a sign up encouraging customers to speak with one of their employees about a good food to switch to. Ticked me off! I emailed them and gave them my thoughts as if it mattered. LOL I then went to Chewy,com.....I cannot believe it took me so long to go with them. Awesome company! OK...long story short...no Blue for my pups! LOL

| Yeah, I have been at Petsmart and heard the bull S$#@ they give customers about how great Blue Buffalo is - they must be getting a kick back on it

| I just can’t believe with all the things going on with them that people still feed it.

| I can...they all blindly follow DFA who has many of the Blue foods on his four star list. I just looked.

| I wonder if it’s worth trying to email him and see if he will put out something about them.

| I would not bother...he has had so many foods on his list recalled and he STILL touts nothing but "ingredients". It is my personal opinion that he is making money and that is his only real interest in all of it. I know people want to believe it is his love of animals...not buying it. That high pressure sales page he had at one time clinched it for me. I noted later that after I said something about it, he changed it. He sees everything on the internet...I believe his die hard supporters email him.
