Basics Adult Dry Dog Food, Skin & Stomach Care, Limited Ingredient Diet for Dogs, Turkey Recipe, 11-lb. Bag

This food is great! I recently switched my dog to this because her old food started to upset her stomach. After a few days on this the issue was gone and she loves it. It’s more expensive than her previous food but so worth it. Minimal ingredients which is great. I’ve been repurchasing monthly.

I love Blue Buffalo Basics for my dog. The limited-ingredient turkey recipe is perfect for sensitive stomachs and helps with skin issues. My dog enjoys the taste, and I feel confident feeding a high-quality, trusted brand that supports his overall health. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gentle, nutritious dog food!

I usually do not get excited about dog food but Blue Buffalo Basics has did the trick for my dog Sonny. I have a pitbull who I adopted about 6 months ago. unfortunately, Sonny had Giardia when I adopted him back in April 2012 but after that was resolved about a month or so later. The Wife and I still could not figure out what was still causing his nasty BMs. On top of the unsightly BMs he started shedding and losing his hair like a maniac. I was driving myself mad, I couldn't understand what the issue was......I gave him great food (Acana), walked him regularly but for some reason he still had issues. We just assumed we did not get rid of the Giardia the first time or it came back and the vet told us to go one more round with his Giardia medicine. Still no luck and the same issues, but the final straw was when he scratched himself raw. When we brought Sonny to the vet again to take care of the scratch we did another parasite test. That test came back clean, the vet proceeded to do other tests to make sure it was nothing serious (The Vet Bills racked up trust me). We all came to conclusion that he was allergic to either his food or something in the environment..Grass, mold etc...... I decided to start off with the food, I did a mad search through Amazon.com to find a food that was created for Allergies. I came across Blue Buffalo Basic Turkey & Potato as my hail Mary attempt. It was pricey but I had to try something. Within the first week we can tell his BMs were getting better however not ideal, but by the second week, it was like night and day. His BMs were awesome, he also was growing his hair back and he was not scratching himself. This stuff was amazing and I can not believe how much it has helped him. In addition, he used to have really dry elbows with no hair on them , we assumed this was normal due to sleeping and always rubbing on the floor when lying down. I am glad to say that he no longer has those dry elbows and the hair is now growing back in that area. I can not say how happy I am with this brand and what it has done for Sonny. The only thing that would make me happier is if they brought down the price a little bit. However, if it keeps Sonny healthy I have no problem ponying up the extra cash. If you have a dog that you believe has allergies, try this brand before you spend a fortune like I did at the vet.

As listed. They live this blend of food

Made a good difference to dogs coat , good product

We've tried everything from organic dog food to Natural Balance L.I.D. (potato & duck), to finally this brand. We have a pitbull who seems to be allergic to everything - he gets so miserable during flare-ups, which happens quite often. We've narrowed down several things he seems to be allergic to including venison, latex toys, and some unknown ingredient ("natural flavors" or canola oil perhaps?) in the Natural Balance dog food. The latest recall about dog food ingredients sourced from China got me researching - Natural Balance may have their dog food facilities here in the states, but they do not deny they order ingredients from China. My dog was vomiting his food nearly every day. I've got two other dogs who didn't, so I thought it was more of an allergy issue than contaminant. But I don't like taking risks with my dogs. So, in searching for a dog food with limited ingredients, and a company that sources ingredients from the USA, I ran across Blue Buffalo brand. I read the ingredients which did not include "natural flavors" or anything else that I thought might be a problem. One of the ingredients is blueberries, and I figured they dropped in a few berries and mashed it all in with the rest of the food so they could include it on their ingredient list. Imagine my surprise and complete delight when I saw dried blueberries as part of the kibble! This is awesome - there are truly enough blueberries to add antioxidants and other phytonutrients to their diet. Anyway, within 2 days of feeding this to my pit, his inflamed skin started to heal. His energy level increased (because he felt good), his coat became very shiny, and he has not vomited once since being on this brand (I feed both dry and canned, as well as supplement with some homemade food). We've been dealing with his issues for over a year, and this is the first time he seems to have cleared up without the help of medication. He's been on Blue Buffalo for about a month now. Update: The "blueberries" may actually be what they call "Life Source Bits" which do include blueberries, but also other ingredients. In either case, the food has done wonders for my dog.

Our dog has a very sensitive stomach. This food has worked very well for her!

Best dog food for allergies! Both of our dogs love this food and their coats are soft and silky since starting this brand!
