Just wondering if anyone has ever used BLUE dog food?

BLUE Healthy Pet Food - About Us

I just looked this up on the internet but never tried it myself. Sounds like it might be a good choice.

For Benny we went with Canine Cancer: Nutrition and Diet Can be Key and had excellent results. He ate well until the very last day and loved these muffins.

Nutrition plays a huge part in helping a dog with cancer.

Our new puppy Shadow is enjoying the Canine Life Puppy Formula muffins and walks around on his hind legs when meals are ready. We are also doing things differently this time re: vaccinations which may or may not contribute to the rising cases of cancer in our dogs at very early ages.

I sure learned a lot while going through cancer with Benny. It was a journey I never wanted to take. However, thanks to Ted and his book and this wonderful site I had hope on many days when things were going pretty well for Ben and support and comfort when things took a "turn for the worse." I have made some lifelong friends here.

So sorry you lost Janie and that it was too late when the cancer was discovered. Hope each day is a little easier for you. This is all so tough!!

Blessings,
Joanne

Hi
I'm afraid I haven't tried Blue dog food but I can recommend Orijen. I have asked about it before on here and I don't think anyone was using it but I had been using it until recently) sometimes as a change for Bert or sometimes mixing it with his meat and veg.
Judy, it's made in Canada so should be available if you wanted to try it. The only problem I have with any dry food is getting him to eat it as he is too used to good tasty meat!

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.

I have a hard time trying to find a right food for my pekingese sleeve. He is almost a year old now. I just starting feeding him CA Nature’s Variety kibble foods and I notice he has a hard time chewing it. Is this normal for this kind of breed?
