Blue Buffalo Bits Soft Dog Treats for Training, Made with Natural Ingredients & Enhanced with DHA, Beef Recipe, 19-oz Bag

Across the reviewers we read, Blue Buffalo Bits in the beef recipe has one of the strongest verified-purchase profiles in the category — 4.8 stars across nearly 14,000 Amazon reviews — and a r/puppy101 poll thread on favorite store-bought training treats explicitly names Blue Bits with positive sentiment. Reviewers on Walmart and Target consistently describe the same things: soft, semi-moist, easy to break in half for small dogs, and accepted by picky eaters.

The disagreement worth surfacing is around the Blue Buffalo brand itself. High-trust threads in r/dogs and r/DogAdvice rehash the brand's history of consumer complaints and the broader grain-free DCM conversation, and a r/puppy101 post specifically describes a puppy developing persistent diarrhea on Blue Buffalo that resolved after switching brands. Other commenters in the same threads report years of uneventful feeding. The treats include grains (brown rice, oatmeal), which somewhat sidesteps the grain-free DCM concern flagged for other Blue Buffalo lines.

For most adult dogs without known sensitivities, the consensus is positive — these are a workable, widely available soft training treat. For puppies or sensitive dogs, the community signal suggests buying the smallest bag first.
