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.

As our Weimaraner is getting a little older and somewhat less energetic, we are transitioning him to this recipe from the standard Chicken Freedom for Large Dogs. All seems to be going fine, the ingredients are the same, but in different proportions. The only obvious change is the size of the pellets. They are slightly larger. This actually makes it easier to gauge the mix as we transition.

Give this to my dog with some human food. He is very picky, does not like any kibble. Gets fat deposits in eye, a Bichon problem so is on low fat 10 years, otherwise no health problems

One of my dogs has a weight problem. She did weigh 58 lbs until I started giving her smaller portions.I am trying to avoid surgery for her ACL if we can take off a few more pounds.

One of my pups is kind is not thrilled about exercise and tends to put on weight quite easy. I bought a small bag for her to try and after over a week I already see success. I’ll keep her on this forever. She loves it!

My 6 year old Corgi really loves this food. The vet recommended me to get a few pounds off of her. She has not been eating it long enough to tell if it will help her loose weight; but she does seem to really enjoy it.

I have a very large pit bull mix who is definitely a couch potato and needs to lose at least 10 lbs or more. Decided to try Blue Buffalo healthy weight because it is also grain free which she has to eat because of allergies. It is hard to find that combination. Even though Blue Buffalo is one of the more expensive brands, I decided to try it because of its ingredients. Just started her on it, she likes it so we will see if she loses weight.

We are very pleased with the quality of the Blue Buffalo dog food. Our Golden Retriever loves the food and is doing very well. We are delighted with the service we receive from Chewy. They are a wonderful company that is very customer focused.

When my wife and I brought our Flapjack home, we were prepared for anything! Blue has always been the best available so we continued and Flapjack thrived...maybe too much! When we realized that he was adding too much weight, we immediately cut his Small Bred canned freedom in half added Healthy weight to the morning and evening feedings and found that the afternoon snack could be a handful...he lost some weight and continues to look great!

Our dog was having allergic reactions to her puppy food. We upgraded her to adult food and found this and it’s great. Seamless transition with no issues and her allergies are gone!
