It's better than BB, in ingredients, nutritional content, and cost. Most of the cost in Blue Buffalo is due to all the advertising they do. Who do they pass that cost onto? Us. Also, the protein levels in the BB Wilderness are extremely high, in my opinion. I know we all think "the more protein the better" which is not always the case.

Not sure about all natural. Spent time reading all the reviews and ratings I could find on line. I was given a puppy six months old from the humane society. He was being fed Purina Puppy Chow. Was thin and Scrawny. Put him on Taste of the Wild and he has has gained 17 lbs,filled out with muscle , coat is better also. Good stuff very nutritious. Chose it over Blue Buffalo. Similar ratings . Price was better for same or better quality through Amazon. Appreciate the Prime 2 day shipping as well. Taste is up to your pet and his or her preference. Very pleased with this brand .

I don't feel comfortable answering this question. I suggest you Google the differences between natural and organic. You could also ask Bob's Red Mill the same question.

It doesn't compare, in my opinion. There is a noticeable boost in energy (for me) with the amazing grass green superfood. Even if you can't tell an energy difference, taste alone should have you buying the Amazing Grass product. Also, as the Amazing Grass Superfood has raw cacoa for flavoring, you get it's benefits as well. win-win. don't waste your time with the Perfect Food option; I suffered through finishing mine (today in fact) and am glad it is gone.

I don't know why yours says that. My says "Natural food for dogs". It is Blue Wilderness Salmon Recipe.

I have been feeding this food to my two dogs for about a year. My Doberman and German Shepherd have had just as much if not more energy then when I was feeding them the much more expensive Acana food. We have tried many different dog food brands but Wellness is one of the very few that didn't give my dogs serious stomach problems. So I would highly recommend at least trying this dog food, but I hope you have some time on your hands to play with your dog, because they will have more energy!

According to their label it is "pure". "100% Vegetarian and all natural". I onely like to buy all natural products too and researched this quite carefully before purchasing it. Hope this helps.

Dick van Patten's Natural Balance Limited ingredient diet. Lamb and Rice, They let you know when they are going to change the dog food so your dog does not get sick(unlike Blue Buffalo putting turkey in and my dogs were sick)

Although the food has fish meal, it does not contain ethoxyquin, the commonly-used preservative that makes fish meal dangerous to your pets. Blue Buffalo confirmed in email as of 2012: "Ethoxyquin is not added to any of our ingredients or formulas, which is verified by the ingredient panels... We do not allow our suppliers to use ethoxyquin." Of course, fish eat all the pollution we dump into our water, so it's probably still not the healthiest food for your small animal given the amounts of mercury and other chemicals appearing in fish, but at least BB isn't using additives that would increase the level of danger or toxicity to your animal.

They're bigger than the puppy food, but still pretty small (I think). It hasn't helped our dog with weight loss. He's got fatty tumors though, so it's hard to say where his fat ends and the fatty tumors begin. Blue Buffalo does have a weight loss formula that we recently switched to for him. We're still on the first bag of that though. I don't know if it's working yet.

Blue buffalo has foods for seniors.....puppies and older dogs may have issues processing a grain free diet

I think the wellness core food has 20% higher protein by comparison than this, but my kittens got terrible diarrhea on wellness core but I think it was my fault for not transitioning them slowly enough to wellness core. So be careful when starting wellness core to wean them onto it very slowly.

According to the package "Contain no chicken or poultry by-product meals". I know for certain they contain no grains. My Service dog Clyde, whom I trust literally with my life on a daily basis only eats Blue Buffalo products. I can't give a stronger endorsement than that.

If I remember correctly Blue Buffalo is a little smaller than what we use (Royal Canin). I think it is too small for the large one.

Sorry, I just threw out the box this week or I'd check for you. I think theg are but can't guarantee it. Have you checed the Wellness website. That should tell you or give you a contact point. If not, next time I order them I'll post the info. I know my Corgi loves them and the Wellness products are good quality ingredients. I always check those.

I believe the difference is organic or not. Kleen Free Naturally is organic.

I just bought some for my pup and opened it up and tried a kibble. I have been a vegetarian all my life, but the ingredients looked so good I figured I should try it. It smells like fish and chicken and veggies - not so much kibble. She seems to think it's better than meat sticks :)
