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.

My little one LOVES this new food. He was on the “Life Protection Formula” by Blue Buffalo before and constantly had digestive problems. Some mornings he wouldn’t even eat the food, and it made me scared. I got the “Basics” food, and started mixing it in with his old food. He actually ate around his old food to get to this one!! (Smart dog). Now he runs to the food bowl and gobbles it down. No more digestive problems. I’d also like to thank Chewy.com. By the time I thought to change his food, my auto-ship order had already processed. I explained the situation to them, and they refunded me, so I could place a different order! I donated the other bag to the SPCA. I am so grateful and happy to be My little one LOVES this new food.

We have a GSD just over 1 yr old and he was having diarrhea combined with vomiting. Two vet visits, an emergency vet visit and over $1000 later, no answers. I called Chewy and said we were desperate and thought it was the food. Chewy recommended Blue Buffalo Basics so I ordered a 4lb bag as a test. The first time our GSD had it as a meal, the difference was amazing. He wanted to eat. He was happier, his GI troubles stopped immediately. Now, I combine the kibble with the can (both Blue Buffalo) and the difference has been nothing short of fantastic. Energy, Happy, Healthy! The 5 stars isnt for Blue Buffalo so much as it is for Chewy helping me help my dog.

I am so thankful I came across this formula.I have always used Blue Buffalo for all my dogs! My foster dog had diarrhea for almost 2 months even though he was on a probiotic, medication from the vet, and the vet’s special food (which was costing me $35 a week!!!) I did a quick google search and this came recommended. Within 3 feedings with this food his belly issues where gone! I didn’t expect it to work that well that fast but it did!

We used to only use Fromm dog food due to our schnauzer mix getting really bad allergies, until we moved and couldn't find it at a store near us. We then switched to Blue Basics and it had the same effect on him which was great. Then we found out about Chewy and started getting it delivered. Chewy has AMAZING customer service and it's great not having to pick up a big bag every month from the store. We have both dogs on this and they love it, even our 'nephew' dog loves it every time he comes over!

We have used Blue Buffalo products for our dogs in the past, and have never been disappointed. For our new rescue golden we decided to give Basics a try. She loves it, and as usual, the "waste" to clean up is minimal. Her "waste" is well formed, and she had no issues switching from her old food to Blue Buffalo Basics. Highly recommend this food.

After trial and error with other brands of dog food I finally hit the jackpot with this one. It's easy on his stomach, bowel movements are solid, no more constant gas, and he loves the taste! Sticking to this one until they stop making it.

My girls all like this food, the small kibble version works well with them, the food smells fresh, not like slightly rancid oil, AND I like the ingredients. Is my new go to brand and type for my beloved fur balls.

My 2 Bichons have food allergies. It is difficult to find 1 dog food that they can both eat. They both can eat a turkey based dog food but my male can not tolerate sweet potatoes. Most turkey based dog foods have sweet potatoes but this one does not. Plus the basics have limited ingredients so if you have dogs with food allergies, this is the one to buy. Blue Buffalo uses quality ingredients & turkey is the first ingredient. It does cost more but my dogs eat less of this food because it is of such a high quality, they don't have to in order to get satisfied. Therefore if you figure it up, it actually costs about the same as cheaper brands. Plus I have the peace of mind knowing that I am giving My 2 Bichons have food allergies.
