About BLUE Buffalo
Blue Buffalo began with unconditional love and some furry inspiration from a large breed Airedale, Blue. When Blue's family started a pet food company, their vision was clear. They wanted every pet parent to be able to feed their pet with the same care they would feed family. So they created the #1 natural pet specialty food to help furry family members live happy, healthy lives. Of course, they named it after Blue.

Recently we found one of our dogs could no longer have grains in her diet. We simply changed the type of Blue Buffalo food to Blue Buffalo Basics grain free. Both dogs love it!

My dogs were having issues with the their food they were eating. I’ll spare you the details but they’ve been eating this food for two weeks now and all issues seem to be resolved. We will stick with this one for sure.

I have a young dog that is 80 pounds and has food allergies. I've put him on Blue Buffalo Basics. This is not only grain free but I believe chicken is also among his food allergies. I have used both Lamb and Duck Basics and he is doing GREAT. A bad ear infection was one of the signs of his allergy, since he's been on BB Basics, NO MORE EAR problems.

I've always heard good things about Blue Buffalo but thought it was just good advertising. I have tried a ton of food for allergies & limited ingredients etc etc & while my Catahoula still has to have her daily allergy pill her coat is absolutely stunning now! She is the softess & shininess she has ever been! She also loves the taste & took to it immediately with no stomach upset when switching. I didn't switch her slowly like I was suppose to & usually she gets upset. It is pricey but I am so glad I gave it a shot. She feels & looks amazing!!

Day 3, food is still in his bowl. I have tried mixing in a little chicken or tuna and he picks it out and leaves the food. My 10 year old husky-poodle mix loves the Blue Buffalo salmon flavor but NOT the duck! He says "Yuck!"
