"You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy."

WOW. Just got this food for our dog and it is amazing! Not as expensive as many other dehydrated foods, and the chicken has 26% protein (I think the other formulas w/ lamb, bison etc. are even higher). It smells wonderful, and my dog licked his bowl for about 5 minutes after the food was totally gone! Kibble is so over processed and has started to do a number on his digestion. He has been waking us up to go outside and eat grass at 4am. I think this food will be amazing for him. All US ingredients and hormone free meats. LOVE.

It's no secret that I LOVE Blue Buffalo products, and the Wilderness line is no exception... even though I'm not a huge fan of high-protein, grain free foods.

The picture and description for this entry are for the new salmon formula, and my dogs don't really like fish flavors (and many dogs have difficulty digesting fish protein, leading to digestive upset and a fishy or musky body odor), but the ingredients of this food are absolutely top-notch. If your dogs dig fishy flavors, give the red bag of Blue Wilderness a try. If your dogs, like mine, prefer non-fish based foods, Wilderness also comes in a chicken/turkey formula and a duck formula. Packed full of anitoxidants omega fatty acids, and fantastic nutrition, and yet a proven, flavorful food.
