Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My dog, who is not a picky eater but is not terribly food-focused, quickly ate this when I put it in her bowl, but left the other half of the bowl, with her very expensive Blue Buffalo large breed fish and oatmeal food untouched. However, when researching the nutritional benefits of this food, I immediately made the decision to stick with her Blue. This sells for roughly $2.25 per pound but has lots of fillers. Chicken is listed as the first ingredient, followed by soybean meal. The Blue starts with fish, then goes down to better choices like peas and oatmeal. Although paying about $55 for a 30 lb. bag of Blue feels crazy, at less than $2/lb. it is way cheaper than this and about $10 less than the equivalent amount of this brand would cost.
According to the manufacturers' labels, I should be feeding my 140 lb. Newfoundland about 5 cups of Blue per day. Compare that with this brand, where 14 cups are recommended and you can see the amount of fillers. Believe me, I spend enough time picking up after my dog; three times the poo is not something I am interested in.
All of the independent dog food rating sites I have found recommend the Blue highly and this is at the bottom. I will use the rest of the bag as a treat (it works great in the treat-distributing toys), but I don't see any reason to pay more for a much lesser product.
