Blue Buffalo dog food
Comments (8)I did some reading on the BlueBuff website. Seems their formula includes special Life Source bits---cold formed nutrients and antioxidents selected by holistic vets and animal nutritionists. These components are supposed to strengthen a dogs immune system, support his specific life stage requirements, and protect him from the negative impact of environmental toxins. In other words, the usual mumbo jumbo of fish oil sales men masquarading as animal nutritionists. While I applaud their intent, the reality is that they are first selling a product in a field with a LOT of competitors. They list meat as the first ingredient---that is good. They define by products as 'clean, non rendered animal parts derived from slaughtered animals(Could those be the animals slaughtered for the MEAT??), consisting, but not limited to lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, blood, and more. What is bad about those parts? I see where liver and kidney treats are recommended as great training aids. I started a thread from a website dedicated to large breed dogs---which states some grains are good sources of protein for dogs--to include yeast. GEE. Imagine that! Oh, yeah---the BlueBuff website includes a test site---to compare major brand dog/cat foods against their brand----NONE---not one of the LISTED brands comes close to BlueBuff. Great case of selective advertising. Ok, so I tried something new----and may again---just not that one. Been raising dogs on Pedigree for many years---had one chihuahua mix live to 20---a chow/lab mix to 15----on that stuff. Just normal trips to the vet---shots, occasional hot spot/ear problems. That proves to me it is ok. In fact, we just adopted a whippet mix from an adopt or kill facility---she HAS to have Pedigree dry---everything else I have tried---to include Pedigree canned---causes horrific runs. She needed at least ten pounds(she is now 40 pounds) put on when we got her---took about three weeks. The same daily amount required to put on weight is now her maintenance amount. Gotta be good for her by my book....See MoreBlue Wilderness Food
Comments (6)Can't comment on dog's needs but basically, a cat will eat, what a cat will eat and doesn't really care how much you spent on the food! I switched my 14lb kitty to Blue (by Blue Spa Select) a few months ago (from dry Nutro). The rep at Petsmart convinced me it will cure everything that ails him. His only problem was his once weekly hair ball he'd deposit on my carpet. Well, I do think this food is better from that standpoint. In two months, he has barfed two hairballs instead of weekly. For that I am willing to pay double because he was staining my carpet terribly. As for canned food, he will only eat Friskees shredded varieties (one can per day). I am not willing to spend over a $1 on canned food anyway. Plus we only go through a 3lb bag of dried food every two months....See MoreSwitching Cat foods, again!
Comments (10)The over eating with my fatty, has been an issue since day one, and she's been checked for everything. She's a piggy who will eat anything. Baby snacks, human food, everything. It's a race between her and our beagle to see who can get to the food that's been dropped first. Both my cats weigh 8 pounds, it's just my little piggy, while she's the same height as my calico, she's much shorter in length so she looks round and chubby. That's also bearing in mind that she's not completely full grown yet, either so maybe her size will catch up to her weight in the next few months, too. My calico isn't over eating, she's not eating any more than usual, it's just my black cat, she's always eaten a ton, just usually not with bathroom breaks in the middle of feedings. But they both stink. Anyways, I need to get dog food tonight, so maybe I will pick up some eaglepack or feline caviar, if they carry it, and try that for a week or so. I just go the reminder for their shots in the mail, they're do next week sometime. So I'll give the new food a shot for a week, and if they're still smellin overly funky, I'll make sure to discuss it with my vet. And if they test positive, I'll have to get the dogs in, too. It just seems all too convinient that they would catch something right when I switched their food. But, better safe than sorry....See MoreLGBTQ menu ideas and blue food
Comments (28)"I tried radish and peas and the radishes behaved exactly as expected, but the pea shoots looked like mini bamboo by the third day after they were up. Both were getting the same light and at the time I just figured it really was too hot here,..." It is unpredictable this time of year with so much heat/humidity. In the winter downstairs is 60 and dry. My salad garden bed has shade frames so it is abundant/healthy. This is the last massive micro planting until September. I'll be keeping it simple growing pea, radish, sunflower. Maybe a forth one, random choice. Growing on a pantry shelf upstairs now. Darn LED is motion activated. The fast pea growing movement keeps shutting the light off. No, it does not have a manual setting. Bad purchase. My few back-up pea trays downstairs are doing much better. Good crop for tomorrow's party but too much babysitting....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
