Premium ingredients — deboned chicken, brown rice, barley, fruits and vegetables — at a price that undercuts most specialty brands. Tens of thousands of five-star Amazon reviews make it the crowd favorite for budget-conscious large breed owners.
Blue Buffalo hits the sweet spot between quality and cost. At ~$2.17/lb for a 30-lb bag, you're getting real deboned chicken as the first ingredient and a formula that's widely loved by dogs. It's not breed-specific, but for most healthy large dogs it's a solid everyday choice.
“I have a 3 yo 55lb greyhound mix who is currently eating blue buffalo chicken and brown rice dry food. I add royal canin joint health wet food for 2/3 meals per day.”
