Blue Buffalo is a defendant in false advertising litigation ++

So I came across this article today. We switched to Blue about two months ago because we just couldn't get Fatboy's skin issues under control. To top it off, he has his episodes where he constantly drools non-stop. It's like a water faucet and it scares me. I give him gas x in order to dissipate any gas that may be causing discomfort/drooling, but it's not enough.

Some of you know the battle I've dealt with regarding finding the right kind of food for Fatboy. I've come to the conclusion I need to feed him raw. I'll be reading up on it this weekend so I know what to get to ensure he receives all nutrition needed.

Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent a little.

I read this as well.

I feed all of my dogs Blue Buffalo. All do great except Sophia, she still licks her front legs a lot, but she is mostly allergic to the grass in the spring so I can't say Blue Buffalo is causing the issue with her. It did make me angry to read that though, and I will probably go over to Taste of the Wild or similar for my. If dogs, and back to Castor and Pollux for Sophia.

Don't make any rash decisions. For myself, I am at my wits end

trying to find the right food for my Fats. I took him to the vet and his skin issue was worse than I thought. I need to take him to a dermatologist. The vet who saw him was really rude about the whole situation, so this didn't help. Fatboy is going back on HK for now as he may need to switch out brands every now and then. It's a pain, but I'll do anything for my little guy.

Now I am worried! Does anyone have any advise for dog food for our two 8 month old babies? I want them to be healthy and safe!!

If you are feeding Blue Buffalo and nothing is amiss....

Don't change it. I have 5 dogs on BB, not one issue, and I am not changing their food because of this issue. I will wait this one out.
