      My 13 year old border collie has been eating Blue Basics with salmon and sweet potatoes since Aug. She periodically has gas so bad,people are knocking each other down trying to get out of the room. This is happening again today. Can this food be the culprit? She gets a spoon of the canned version(of the above) mixed with 1 cup of the dry. Thanks in advance for your help.

      My dog Murphy Mae was having such problems with bowl movements, itchy feet and a dry coat. Threw word of mouth I heard of Blue Buffalo,researched and compaired and found it is actually the best food I can give my furry kid. Murphy has been with the Blue Buffalo Basic Salmon and potato for 2 months and her issues have resolved. She is a happy dog! Thank you Blue BUffalo….Liz
