x2 - our older two love Orijen RR.

The company that owns Blue Buffalo was sold to Procter & Gamble, I believe in late 2010 with an early 2011 confirmation (I can't be sure of exact date). When a company does that it makes me steer clear of them until the new ownership has their own long and reputable history of health with that specific food. Some people love BB and their dogs still do great on it - I for one, won't feed it unless and until I see a very long positive history under the current ownership...and I believe it will decline.

If your dogs are seemingly bored with Fromm's perhaps you could simply try a new flavor within Fromm's foods...they have a ton of different flavors and I would recommend them long before I would recommend BB (as it is now).

Procter & Gamble also own:

IAMS
Eukanuba
...neither of which I would even momentarily consider feeding our dogs, for a list of reasons that is too vast to even go into here.

They also own the Natura pet foods "family" (used loosely), and many owners feed Natura and their pets do very well on it (just giving the flipside of the coin).

The above was based only on my opinion, and my opinion alone. I did not seek the advice of any veterinarian or canine nutritionist, etc. I feed what I believe to be in the best interest of our pets (regardless of who advises otherwise).

Whatever you decide, good luck. Not all dogs are the same, so what works for one will not necessarily work for another.
