Default Opinion on Blue Buffalo?

Is Blue Buffalo a good food in your opinion? I bought it because I researched and found that I thought it was a good food but I know that everyone here is a professional compared to me. I just want to know if Blue Buffalo is a good food for Sky. She really likes it a lot and since I got her I've noticed her coat looks a billion times better than it did before. I don't know what her previous owners were feeding her but I bet she hated it because she was super Skinny with a dull scraggly coat. She also has Mini Blue bars for treats (I break them apart as they are too big) she gets them sparingly. And she has Turkey Blue bits for clicker + treat training. I just want the peace of mind that some Chihuahua professional advice lol will give me on whether I am doing good by Sky or not.

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Dry Dog Food | Review and Rating
This site is a good review site. There are several of the BB foods on there. This one is the dry, life protection food. It looks like it's pretty good to me. Four stars is a good grade! I feed mine Taste of the Wild. It got 5 stars and is not expensive really. Only 10 bucks for 5 lbs. And I can get it locally! Yay!

If you look on the forum entitled Chihuahua article and look about 3 threads down you will see a thread "How to grade your dog food." A couple of Blue Buffalo foods score over 100 which is very good. There are names of foods that score even higher, but if your puppy is happy and the other foods are hard to find or more expensive I personally wouldn't see a point in changing. The only thing my vet suggested was a change to a gluten-free food, and I don't think all Blue Buffalo is gluten-free. Wellness Core is gluten-free and very good food.

It's very good food and is rated and scored highly. My chi's didn't care too much for it however, not sure why, but I know many chi owners that feed it regularly. I did notice shiny coats with that food too!

Thank you everybody I think it's a good food too. She likes it, looks good, and I haven't noticed any flatulence or anything bad. I think I'm going to stick to this food.

I'd add some warm water to it to help with digestion and her kidneys.
