Blue Buffalo sold to Cheerios

[dturm]

Minneapolis-based food conglomerate General Mills is buying Wilton, Conn.-based Blue Buffalo Co., maker of Blue Buffalo pet food, for roughly $8 billion in cash in a deal expected to be completed by May.

I hope general mills changes advertisement philosophy and makes it more "honest."

Blue is the only dog food I've ever tried that had my dog doing the "runs" no matter how slowly I tried to introduce it by mixing.

Surprised me, but there sure was something in it that didn't agree with my GSD's system.

We fed BB for a few years, our dogs loved it but suddenly our Lab Lucy started losing her hair, my first thought was her food but the other two were not affected.
However we stopped feeding BB and within a week we found that her bald spots were filling back in so it was obviously the cause.
Will never go back to it...this is a mild reaction compared to many other stories so I feel lucky that is all Lucy suffered.

Hope G.M. can keep their ingredients and packaging on the right track.
Would hate to get a surprise when I poured my cereal in the bowl.
