Pets are exposed to the same household chemicals as humans — often at higher concentrations because they spend more time on floors where chemicals settle. Pet food packaging, plastic food bowls, and synthetic pet beds are sources of chemical exposure for pets.
Why We Rated It This Way
Blue Buffalo's Life Protection Formula is a solid mainstream dog food — real chicken first ingredient, no artificial preservatives. The main concern is the plastic-lined bag packaging. A reasonable choice for most pet owners.
