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.

Fits in my dog’s new diet
By Dogmom on Sep 19, 2020
My dog has some health issues and the vet recommended changing her diet. Chicken, pork, lamb, venison, and salmon are on the no-no list. I found most turkey based food also had chicken or salmon as ingredients. I was pleased to find this dog food that fits her new diet. She loves it, but she’s always been an enthusiastic eater. My other dogs always lick her bowl and I think they’d like to switch to this dog food, too. That’s not gonna happen unless I win the lottery.

Not limited ingredients
By Max129 on Aug 31, 2020
Limited ingredients?!?!? What a joke I counted 64 ingredients. False advertisement or someone’s new idea of limited is 64? Why can’t the dog food manufactures just be honest. High protein from real meat, no preservatives and no grains, why is that so hard to accomplish? Dogs don’t eat grains, rice, or vegetables in the wild. And they are not equipped to process preservatives. I’ve had two dogs die from cancer early after feeding pro plan their whole lives. Open your eyes people and check the ingredients !

Preferred over Nutro Core Grain Free
By Nellie on Oct 2, 2020
My pug likes this food much better than Nutro Core Grain Free. That's a good dog food too but she wouldn't eat it unless she got really hungry. This food she finishes off immediately. Seems to have decreased her itching as well.

Finally!!!
By cocoa on Aug 27, 2020
I have tried so many foods for this pup...Finally found a food he eats completely. This has been a long process to find something he likes. I also want to commend Chewy for being so patient during this process giving refunds for food is a wonderful idea...Thanks for all you do from a very satisfied customer for life!!!

grain-free dog food
By Roscoe on Oct 14, 2020
Our dog was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur and pulmonary edema. We were told by our Vet that the reason could be the grain-free dog food. It is very harmful to dogs

Great food with great qualities!
By Sarah on Sep 25, 2020
I have noticed a difference in my two dogs from just two weeks of feeding. They seem to have more energy. The food has definitely made a difference in their coat.
