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.

Happy consumer!
By Consumer on Feb 5, 2021
Great food for my puppy who has a sensitive stomach. Literally, from the time I brought him home from the breeder at 4 months of age, he continued to vomit repeatedly. That same day, we took him to the pet ER, and the vet said that his stomach was inflamed do to his sensitive digestive track. We gave him meds to calm things down, but the vomiting continued. After doing more research, I read several studies that indicated that he maybe allergic to the food that he was being fed by the breeder. When I switched him over to this brand and formula, I immediately saw positive results and the vomited had stopped completely. Praise God! On top of that, he loves the taste of the food and is no longer Great food for my puppy who has a sensitive stomach.

Great food
By Pitmom21 on Feb 14, 2021
We feed our older sensitive pit mix the adult version of this food so we decided to give our new pittie the puppy version. The small bites are perfect for him & he is doing well on this formula, no upset stomach or nasty gas. Blue is the way to go!

allergy issues
By rusty on Feb 24, 2021
My 9 month old Vizsla seems to get bumps on a daily basis. Not knowing yet if it’s a food or environmental allergy, since he has been on this food it’s been significantly better.

Overrated and not worth the price...
By Valentin on Jan 3, 2021
Not the best or the worst. I ordered two bags... Now I'm stuck with a full bag. I don't think it is worth the extra money and your dogs will poop a lot from this food. I mean get the shovel and camp out in your backyard. Other than that, my dogs love it and it didn't seem to cause them harm.

Fantastic Puppy Food
By TomJ on Oct 23, 2020
We have started calling this magic in a bag. Our puppy had really bad diarrhea for a couple of days and then vomited small amounts of food. I started giving him white rice and chicken, which helped, but then he was constipated. He was still playful and eating, so I felt like he might have a sensitive stomach. After doing some research, I bought a bag of the Basics limited ingredient diet puppy food. It is incredible, we didn't even have to transition him. He absolutely loves the taste. He wouldn't eat his old food unless we put yogurt in it, we do add warm water to this but I've held the bowl down with just dry food in it before and he still went crazy over it.

Did not work for our puppy
By Scoutmom on Nov 14, 2020
After just a1/4 cup of this kibble mixed in with his reg kibble, it made our 7 month old pup have loose stools, drool and eventually vomit. We are stopping after only serving a small amount twice. Did NOT work for our pup with a sensitive stomach.

Both pups love this, but..
By Magsmom on Sep 3, 2020 Top 250 Contributor
I am in love with the Shih Tzu breed, also known as the pickiest eaters on planet earth.. so the fact that they both love this is a miracle. Little girl has a bit of an upset tummy right now so I am praying it's not the food.. this time :/
