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.

Small dogs
By Beth on May 15, 2019
My two small dogs like this food, except for the small little vegetable but I mix with wet dog food and they clean their dish. Their sensitive stomach's seem to digest this much better than the food I was feeding them previously.

Everyone loves it!
By Ollie on Apr 19, 2019
I purchased this food for my Shichon who is 8 lbs because my daughters dog is on a special diet eating this kind of food only not small breed. I was surprised the size of the small breed is exactly the same size as his adult food.

Highly Recommend for Sensitive Tummies
By DogMom on Mar 9, 2019
As my dog has aged (he's now 13), his stomach has become more sensitive. After trying many different dog foods, this dog food did the trick. No more stomach issues and I don't have to go through the process of trying to make food from scratch due to his sensitivities. He loves it and the small bites are perfect his small breed.

Switched to Blue for something new
By Peppaluv on Jan 23, 2019
This is the 3rd brand of food I've introduced to my sassy, spoiled girl. She seems to like it which I'm satisfied. I don't necessarily want to take her off her Natural Balance because she needs the extra Omegas but I wanted something with less ingredients. So, I will continue to alternate the 2 for now and since I'm giving her wet ocean food and treats I know she's still getting enough omegas.

Great product
By Nicky on May 1, 2019
Great food. Our dog love it and even the cat lol. We adopted both and the dog will not eat any other food but this.

Blue Buffalo

I have Dachshunds. They don’t like rice. So this what I picked. They seem to enjoy it.

Good product, larger than expected
By Abbey on Mar 2, 2019
I changed my dog over to this food to troubleshoot her allergy symptoms. She’s eating the new food but the nuggets are pretty sizeable for a 5 pound dog.

Grateful to find it!
By Michelle on Feb 9, 2019
My 11 year old Shi Tzu has many food allergies. This works best and is only available in a 4 lb bag at almost the cost of the 11lb at Chewy! I am so grateful!

No more gas
By Sundae on Jan 27, 2019
Great for the gassy breeds. We have a Boston Terrier and have noticed a huge difference on this food. The small pieces are perfect for her.
