I would not recommend blue buffalo as I have seen some negative side effects of their urine. One of my favorite more natural foods that dogs seem to like is natural balance limited ingredient diets. They have a lot of flavors. I hope this helps.

    Chicken by-products include organs and anything left over after the prime cuts have been removed. It does not include feathers. Many companies use by-products because it is mor economical. There are better and worse diets on the market. That said, if Max eats it, does well on it and it is easy for you to buy then it can be fed. Acana, Orijen and Canidae are examples of premium diets with high quality ingredients. The website www.dogfoodadvisor.com is an excellent resource for comparing diets if you are searching for a formula to feed Max.
