Trying a New Dog Food- Blue Buffalo

Rhett and I enjoying the nice fall weather
during a trip to Holmes Lake, in Lincoln.
I picked up a bag of Blue Buffalo dog food for my borzoi Rhett today.  I've been feeding Diamond for years- many borzoi breeders like it as being a good fit for their dogs, but I haven't been real satisfied with it the last year or so.  Rhett just seems like he's lackluster on eating it, no matter what kind, unless I doctor it up with some canned food or other tasty stuff like cottage cheese.  He's at an ok, weight, and his skin and coat look ok... but he's just not really enthusiastic about eating, so I thought it might be worth a try.


They've been advertising it all over cable TV and it looks REALLY good... very healthy, with human food-grade ingredients. I got it home and opened up the bag, and Rhett came running over and immediately SAT DOWN!  That's what he does when someone has a treat he REALLY wants!  Encouraged, I mixed it half-and half with his old food and fed it to him dry...and the big goofball immediately went through and picked out all the new stuff to scarf down, and left his old food in the bowl!    Well, at least I know he likes it!  LOL  


Aside from being cost-prohibitively expensive, it might be a good fit.  We'll give it a try and see if he continues to be so enthusiastic about it.
