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.

Chewy is the best
By Bailey on Apr 26, 2020
This review isn't technically about the specific food, but rather about Chewy. I ordered a dog food that I thought would be ok for my dog's diet. Upon arrival, in the small print, there were ingredients that he can't tolerate. Of course, Chewy immediately offered credit and suggested another item. It just arrived and we haven't yet tried it, but the ingredients are compatible with our needs. We were looking for a place to donate the first purchase. A friend of ours will be "inheriting" a 10-year-old lab tomorrow whose owner died from Covid-19 last week. I will be gifting this food to them thanks to the generosity and kindness of Chewy!!

No more tummy issues for Sammy
By Pribs on Mar 9, 2020
We have used Blue Buffalo for years, small breed chicken & rice. My Sammy has always had a sensitive tummy. Recently tried the Basics with Salmon, potato & pumpkin. She had stopped eating breakfast because of her tummy issues, she now digs in to the Basic Salmon every morning. She LOVES it. And is eliminating more frequently and solidly. Thank you Blue.

No more IBS symptoms
By ThorsMom on Feb 20, 2020
We fed our dog a premium holistic diet and could not get his IBS symptoms under control without adding probiotics and meds. After switching him to Blue Basics in December, his symptoms have disappeared. He loves this food and is excited to eat now. No more meds or probiotics. The salmon doesn't give him fishy breath either.

Our boy loves this!
By GeorgiaWalker on Jan 4, 2020
Our 105 pound Golden has never been a picky eater but, when we changed foods to see if it clears up some itching, he just chows down until the bowl is empty. There hasn’t been enough time to know if his problem was the chicken in his diet but, in the meantime, he’s not complaining.

By Jaxmom on Jan 15, 2020
I got this food to see if it would help with my dogs skin allergies, while I haven’t had it long enough to notice if it’s making a difference yet, I do know that my dog can’t get enough of this food. He Goes crazy at feeding time now.

Good food to keep my babies healthy.
By Arleen on Jan 28, 2020
My two 6yo mini schnauzers have been on this food for years. No snacks or scraps ever. Both are very healthy with no more stomach or skin issues, maintain good weight and plenty of energy.
