Blue Buffalo Frustration

[pdtalker]

Chris 105 so sorry for your loss.. yes may Charlie RIP we had to put our mini pin down who had a heart tumor down about a year ago and it was so hard loosing a 4 legged family member my husband was not ready to open his heart to another dog but fell in love with Mocha.

Thought I'd chime in here with my limited experience with BB. As of one week ago, I put my Bailey on BB turkey and rice. He really loves it and, as yet, hasn't been separating the bits. Cheers!

I hung onto the bag of CC instead of shipping it back thinking that maybe I would give it another try later on. I put a small amount in a bowl next to the BB. She ate the CC, but only that time. For the next couple of days I left them both out for her to choose and she went back to BB. But....for the last month she has been picking out the life source bits and leaving them on the floor. She refuses to eat them. Now, I thought that was a big part of what makes it healthy for her. So, I'm wondering if I need to try another brand dog food. She does seem to be picky when it comes to food, but her treats....well she has gobbled up everything I have offered her. BB, Wellness and Fruitables. She loves them. Oh, she is not eating BB Wilderness now she is on BB Life Protection Formula with Fish & Sweet Potato. So, what are your thoughts???

Hm, Peanut was on BB a long time ago. He picked out the life bites too. To me if they don’t eat all the kibble it’s a waste. I would find something that she eats 100%. Have you tried the CC Open Sky? That is the Duck protein… if she likes the BB duck she may like the CC Duck. This is the one Peanut has been on for about 9 months, and I’ve never seen him enjoy a kibble as he does this one. I tried him on the Lamb, as well as the Special Diet and he really didn’t enjoy them…

I know adding a topper is just a quick fix, I think your dog should be able to eat the kibble without a topper, however Peanut isn't a morning eater- I have to make sure he eats in the morning before I go to work or he will get low blood sugar. I found the COCO Therapy Veggie Crunch treats.. they are freeze dried veggies made with coconut oil. Peanut loves them and it’s something he can have every day. I will take a couple veggies and crunch them on his food in the morning, ( morning only) and he will eat the veggies out, but he will also take down a couple kibbles too.. so I can leave with something in his belly and I won’t have to worry!!

You can try a topper for the kibble.. cheese, veggie crunch, you can even do real veggies- carrots, peas, green beans.. Something to try, but like I said try to find something she will eat.

I never see mentioned here....
Trying switching around your dog bowls!
My baby didn't like the rattle noise when she ate out of one so I tried a hard plastic and set it on eating mat and that helped till she tired of her kibble , now I'm on a search too....not all puppy is small kibble. Hate that....

Researched the BB and did not like what I read.

Just curious. What didn't you like about BB? I feed my dogs BB but would change it in a heartbeat if its not good for them. Thanks.

In the meantime I boiled some white chicken tenders down with a few chicken livers and added a tad bit of that to her wellness and she gobbled it down, silly girl.
I would really like to keep her on wellness but she is tiring of it.
Overwhelming trying to find a "good one".
I noticed when I processed the chicken and livers in food processor there was no fat film inside ....
Be careful too , krogers brand chicken injects theirs with salt flavoring. Says right on package.

I would like to know as well what you didn't like when you read about BB. Where did you find the info on BB? Cheers!

Haven't tried the Duck. I may have to give it a try because she will not touch CC Lamb & Pearl Millet. I would really like for her to eat all her food and not pick out parts of it. Not because I think it's wasteful but because I want her to love what she eats. I know one thing she loves....Green beans!!!! Since I read here on YT that many loved them I figured I would give it a try and she will do anything for them. Frozen or warm.
