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.

This Kibble Was A Game Changer!
By Daniel on Jan 29, 2021
I have an Akita puppy. I was feeding him Blue Buffalo Large Breed Chicken & Rice Puppy Food. After several weeks, he developed chronic loose stools. I switched him to this kibble, and within one day he was normal, and has remained normal. My vet explained that large breed puppy foods are essentially adult dog food because they want to slow the growth, so large breed formulas don't have as much protein as regular puppy food. That meant that switching to an adult dog food would not be a problem for my large breed puppy. And ... he really like this new kibble more than he liked the large breed formula.

Appears to do "the trick"
By Justme on Dec 28, 2020
My collie appears to have allergies, the vet thus far has not been able to get this problem correct (chewing on her paws) I began adding this to her normal dog food, adding a bit more each day and I believe I see a difference, she "gobbles" this food up and have noticed the cat is sneaking in and appears to have also added this "treat" as well to her diet.

Made my Boxer swell up
By ConcernedHooman on Feb 6, 2021
This food made my Boxer's entire body swell up and the areas on his back where his kidneys are look particularly enflamed. I switched him to whole food and immediately he improved. Never again.

Limited Ingredients
By Limited on Feb 14, 2021
A really good option when you can’t say for sure if your dog has an allergy to certain foods. His stomach has been much calmer since the switch to BB limited ingredient

Great for sensitive stomachs
By Kathi on Jan 7, 2021
I have used Blue Buffalo products for the last 7 years. I have had very good luck with their products. I have a pit with a very sensitive stomach and this solved his digestive issues.

Dogs love it
By Kaylee on Nov 15, 2020
I have one dog who is a picky eater. She seemed to enjoy this one better than the other Basic ones I’ve purchased in the past. My other dog deals with allergies and I’ve noticed since switching to this food, his hot spots on his stomach have cleared up tremendously.

Great Food

Our fur-baby is very particular when it comes to food but loves this dry food. What more can one say. Highly recommend.

Diet change
By Dana on Dec 12, 2020
My dogs seem to be enjoying the change in their food. They have always had Blue Buffalo, but digestion problems had developed in one. So I thought we'd try this. She has had no problems and they both are eating it!

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.
