I was tempted to try it...glad I didn't love the ingredients list. Sticking with TOTW.

I was just about to come here and post this..OMG , I just started feeding Roxie Blue Buffalo , now I am freaked out and have to find something else. I am SO sick of these dog food recalls. Anyone want to recommend something else for me to run to the store and pick up in the meantime?

I put mine on Nutro and she loves it. No problems with loose stool from the change either.

Paisley enjoys Wellness Simple Solutions. It has a very limited ingredient list.

Thankfully, Blue Buffalo Small Breed is not included in this recall.

You might want to google Nutro Consumer Affairs. Nutro is known to have caused severe illness and death in many cats and dogs.

I had pnut on bb for a little bit but he didnt eat the little life source balls.... now we are on acana grassland and he does welll ln it...

Oh gosh and I was thinking about switching mine.

Bazinga is on Wellness Puppy and he just has such a hard time w/ the hard kibble...I wet it now...but isn't that bad for his teeth??? He's a little over 5 months old, so maybe it's not an issue...advice??

Not sure if this is true or not, but my vet said that dog kibble really only cleans teeth VERY minimally so not to worry about it. It is more important for chew toys and such to help with cleaning the teeth.

OMG

!! Looks like I'm going to have to switch again, I hate too because she actually likes it. I swear I am getting ready to start home cooking and freezing portion sizes.

I'm disappointed too. I was told on this board that it was better for dogs than Purina. Now I'm not sure it is.

Yes, I'm happy about this also. Khloe does really well on it; I think it is just the adult foods, treats, and canned foods.

Perrella · 10-12-2010, 04:15 PM

Zhoie has been on BB for quite awhile now and it's the best she's ever done her any food.

I feed her Salmon...so I checked the bag (which is almost gone) and it was not the dates as indicated.

Trying to decide after this bag....then what. Try yet another brand or be sure to check the bag dates. On one hand, I believe any company can have issues at anytime or maybe...some do and don't openly alert the public.

I've heard so many things about so many brands. Where the heck do we turn???
