Caused bloody stools with our two dogs
We've been using Blue Buffalo for over a year now. One of our dogs has a grain allergy that causes a rash so trying to find grain free food was important to us. We thought we found that with this food. Though it does not cause a rash we have even worse issues. It started with our beagle. He never wanted to eat this food so we would soften it with water and he begrudgingly ate. Then with the last couple bags we received he started have bloody loose stools. We changed his food and the problem went away, but we kept feeding the Blue Buffalo to our hound mix with the grain allergy. Everything seemed good until we opened the most recent bag we received and the hound started having bloody, loose stools. As we had seen this before with our beagle we immediately switched our hound to another food and the problem went away.
I don't know if this is a quality control issue, changing of source ingredients or something else but I will no longer be using this food and will not recommend it to anyone.
I've switched my dogs to ranchers choice from the local agriculture supply store. Not only is it half the price but both my dogs eat without hesitation and they are noticeably more energetic.
