Yes, I switched my dog, Prescott, from Avoderm to Blue Buffalo within the past 3 months. Avoderm was a fantastic food, too, and I would of kept him on that, but our pet store stopped carrying it.
I was nervous. But... he absolutely LOVES Blue. His favorite time of the day is breakfast, when we mix his kibble with some of their soft canned food. I've never seen his coat so shiny and beautiful in all his 14 years.
We just learned of Prescott's cancer, so I've been reading up on special diets for him. Have learned that simple sugars should be drastically reduced since they can fuel the cancer. I'm a bit concerned because his current food has sweet potatoes, carrots, blueberries and cranberries in it. It also has sunflower oil, a source of Omega-6 fatty acids, which I've learned should be limited as well. (Omega-3's are good though.)
We're meeting with his oncologist next week, and I'll be asking him specifically about this issue and whether we should change his food.
