BB has a puppy version of the life protection formula for small breed puppies.

Blue Buffalo - All Natural Small Breed Dog Food

I had Rhett and Scarlett on it as puppies and they did beautifully on it. They transitioned to the adult version without any problems. Rhett has a very sensitive tummy and its one of the few foods he can tolerate.

If you are going to make a change in formulas just do it slowly and you should be fine.

According to dogfoodadvisor.com, there are 19 varieties of Blue Buffalo Life Protection, including several puppy formulas:

If you have an adult formula, I would think that you could easily switch to a puppy formula with no problems. BTW, dogfoodadvisor gives Blue Buffalo Life Protection a four star rating, which is above average.

Sorry, I didn't see this reply before I posted my own. I'm in complete agreement.

We have had 2 yorkies and a beagle on various lines of Blue Buffalo (Life Protection, Wilderness, Basics) and all of them have done very well. I think this is one of the better choices at larger pet stores although it's kind of expensive (IMO) compared to other premium foods we've fed.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to post their replies! I've decided to go ahead and get the puppy formula

Hopefully she'll like it!

I've been feeding my yorkie blue buffalo since she was a puppy (she will be 2 in november

. I had her on puppy formula and then switched over to small breed adult. I had researched a bunch of good dog foods and decided on blue buffalo. She seemed to be doing good with that until recently. I believe they changed their formula because I noticed the bag looked different but didn't think much of it. Lately she has been throwing up yellow foam and has been very itchy. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, I thought maybe she developed a food allergy. I started googling blue buffalo and came across a lot of complaints on consumeraffairs.com. I saw some other reviews saying their dog has been throwing up yellow foam as well. Needless to say, I will not be feeding her blue buffalo anymore! I would just be very cautious and be aware of any changes in your dog!
