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.

Yummy in their tummies
By Augustus on Sep 6, 2019
I have three dogs and they seem to be very picky eaters. We tried a few brands and then when we tried Blue they woofed it down. My husband said, "Whatever you bought they are loving it."

Perfect for pups with Chicken allergy
By Renee on Sep 13, 2019
Love the fact that Blue makes a chicken free food that is not grain free. My pups love it mixed with the Blue turkey and potato wet food.

Wonderful Food
By lokismom on Jun 10, 2019
We have been struggling with our sensitive tummy pupper and we finally found something that does cause him to have diarrhea and gas issue. We couldn't be happier with this product!

Even the Cat likes it! LOL
By Kathleen on Apr 20, 2019
My GSD enjoys this much more than the previous brand, although he's still not as enthusiastic about it as he's been over others. However, it's really weird watching my cat line up at the dog food bowl.... because SHE thinks it's the best dry food she's ever had. She won't eat her cat food anymore.

Sensitive Tummy

Food they both like
By PickyLabs on Oct 8, 2018
I have labs with distinct eating habits/tummies. Mr. Selective with his food but has an iron tummy and Ms. Sensitive who’ll eat anything even after suffering tummy issues. For the past 2 years, keeping Mrs. Sensitive from Mr. Selective's food has been time consuming for this working/traveling family. Mrs. Sensitive has been on this food for 2 months now w/o any tummy issues and Mr. Selective is still eating it as well. I call it a win!

My dog was not a fan
By Holly1621 on Sep 6, 2018
My dog usually loves Blue Buffalo. This was the only bag he refused to eat. There are a couple others he reluctantly eats, but this one seemed to upset his stomach. He would eat a couple pieces and then vomit it back up. I ended up tossing the bag...
