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.

New dry food
By Lacilu on Jun 30, 2020
My dogs love it but.....they are small dogs & the bits are quite large. It says "small breed" on the package but I definitely don't agree! Maybe it was packaged incorrectly so I will buy again to be sure but just be aware that small dogs will have a hard time with the bits in my opinion.

Very healthy dog food!
By SunshineSuzy on Jun 11, 2020
I enjoyed reading the label and 'thinking' that I'm going to give my dogs the best they can get! They apparently didn't share my way of thinking. They ate it because it was there, but after 2 weeks, then left their noses and walk away. If you have a picky eater, don't try this in a large quantity.

Surprisingly Great
By Taylor on Jul 18, 2020
This is surprisingly great for my picky puppy! He loves it! We rotate foods quite a bit because he gets bored easily.

Happy for the availability
By Danielle on May 7, 2020
Chloe is on a special Diet and this blend is not the easiest to find and I am very pleased to be able to order from Chewy. When Doggie is happy Mom is happy.

My 18 year old chihuahua loves it.
By Alice on Apr 6, 2020
18-year-old Scooter has delicate digestion in his old age. I soak dry dog food in water for a few hours and it helps it get digested faster. He likes Blue Buffalo better than Science Diet.

Guess I should have left this in the past.
By Reesa on Jan 21, 2020
I bought this because I was looking for another option to feed my dogs. They seem to be losing interest in their current kibble so I thought I would try this. When they were puppies, they used to love the puppy formula of this. Here's yet another food that they will not eat. I thought this would have been a winner since we are familiar with this brand and have had something similar. I guess sometimes the past is better left in the past even when it comes to dogs. I gave this 3 stars because my dogs wouldn't touch it but it is a good quality food.

Great Job Chewy!
By Shanny on Apr 6, 2020
Even during these difficult times, it is really nice to know that I can always depend on Chewy to come through with my dog's food.

Our dog loves it!
By Lynn06 on Nov 25, 2019
Our son's dog was currently on a another food which had to be mixed with real chicken in order to eat. He was a fussy eater. The dog had an episode of anaphylactic shock cussed by ingesting some silicon beads from a weighted blanket. We almost lost him. The vet put him on antibiotics and a bland diet of chicken and rice until he was better. We decided to try the Blue Buffalo Basics grain free. We are so happy he loves the food and he’s made a full recovery.
