| Layla eats Blue Buffalo... well she did... out of no where she got diarrhea... if i am not able to put her back on it i will be feeding her Fromm's. It's a Canadian brand so i'm not sure if anyone else has heard of it. I don't think though that the Blue Buffalo was the cause of the diarrhea... she had been on it since we got her at 12 weeks and she is now 11 months and the diarrhea started 3 weeks ago... so i woudln't think there is a connection. i think the food is great and very high quality. you should go on their website.. they have a list of all the ingredietns and it tells you what eat does. i found it VERY helpful. |

| Yes, I am talking about Blue Buffalo. The ingredients look great, but me babies are having some runny stools. Also my little boy has developed a skin condition. The vet has tried multiple tests and treatments, but is not sure what is causing his scaly, flaky skin. I was wondering if it was a food allergy to this new food, but it seems odd that it would be since the affected skin isn't all over his body. Anyone have any thoughts on this situation? |

| are you feeding the chicken formula??? it might be the chicken if you are... a lot of dogs are allergic to it... we are feeding the lamb and rice right now.. and when we switch to adult i'll be feeding her the fish.. layla's skin is also VERY dry.. but there doesn't seem to be anything in the food that is causing it... and even now that she is on a special diet from the vet.. still flaky.. i think she is just sensitive |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | I was at Petsmart once and a lady stopped me as i was looking at food she was from Blue Buffalo she was telling me about the guy that started it he had a dog get cancer form something and decided to make a food that was all natural the pitch sounded great but i never tried it

| I have never tried this food but there seems to be a high incidence of diarrhea bouts associated with this food. Yorkies are somewhat delicate and may not suit many.

| Edie started eating the lamb and rice formula 3 weeks ago when we brought home her sister, Breezy, who is a westie. She likes it OK, and we have no runny stool problems. However, it gives her really STINKY toots....I wonder if that is how Breezy got her name?? |

| I've only used the wet, canned Blue Buffalo food to mix in with Howie's kibble (Chicken Soup brand). Howie likes it fine. It's convenient for me too since Petsmart carries it and I don't have to drive clear across town to get Chicken Soup brand wet food at the specialty store. I haven't noticed a runny stool problem when I feed it either.
