Myah Is A Fan Of Blue Buffalo Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe Dog Food . . . Though She Does Not Show A Strong Enough Preference To Justify The Expense!


The Good: Very nutritious, Myah seems to like it.
The Bad: Comparatively exceptionally expensive, Myah illustrates no real preference for it.
The Basics: Myah endorses Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe adult dog food, though not as enthusiastically as some other dog foods she has tried of late.


Since moving to Michigan, my wife has been determined to fatten Myah, our (almost!) five year-old Siberian Husky up. To that end, she had been feeding her chicken gizzards and other raw meats that Myah gets initially excited for, but then is less-enthused about. I have noticed that Myah truly is a fan of variety, so finding dog foods that she “endorses” as a product I find worth recommending to readers is rapidly becoming more about the second or third feeding than the first. By that standard, Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe adult dog food is good, but not great.

Because she quickly became less enthusiastic about it, Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food is a tougher sell for me than other hard dog foods. Its expense also brought it down more for me.

Basics

A single serving of Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food is four to six ounces, so a fourteen pound bag does not last as long as I would want for the expense. Each piece of Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food is a brown wedge that is roughly triangular. They are approximately 1/2" on each side and 3/16” thick. They have a mealy appearance and are very hard. Myah often eats a couple of the pellets at once.

Ease Of Preparation

As a dry dog food, preparation of Blue Buffalo is as easy as opening a bag and measuring out the pellets inside. There is not further prep needed.

Myah’s Reaction

Predictably, Myah was initially enchanted with this food. However, by the second bowl, she showed no preference between Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food and the Old Roy gravy-option food that was in her bowl. Sure, Myah ate the Natural Chicken And Brown Rice, but that she showed no preference between that and the food that was one quarter the price made it very hard to justify the premium food.

Nutrition

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food might not smell very meaty, but it is actually very nutritious. Made primarily of Deboned chicken, Chicken meal and ehole ground brown rice, the ingredients are about one third natural and recognizable before becoming a chemistry equation designed to boost the health of the dog. According to the guaranteed analysis, Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food has at least 24% crude protein, 14% crude fat, .9% Phosphorous, 1.0% Calcium, but no more than 4% crude fiber and 10% moisture. As a dry dog food, it is highly recommended that you have adequate water available for your dog when serving it Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food.

Overall

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Chicken And Brown Rice Recipe dog food is a good, but not exceptional, dog food and for the price one wishes for a little more than what it is.
