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.

Vet Said "No"
By MrsMooney on Dec 24, 2019
We bought this for our new lab puppy and he loved it! Gobbled it up and it didn't give him any issues or problems. But, when we took him to the vet for our first visit, she said that there is evidence to possibly connect grain free puppy food with heart issues in some puppies. She said the studies aren't conclusive yet and still ongoing, but her recommendation was to change to a food with grain in it as soon as possible. We donated this food, and then got some of the Blue Buffalo that is *not* grain free.

Don’t waste your money
By Shayna on Jul 28, 2019
Bought this puppy kibble on the recommendation of a friend. My GSD puppy took one sniff of the stuff and refused to eat it! Now I’m stuck with 33 pounds of super expensive dog food I can’t use!

blue buffalo freedom
By Dallas on Jul 14, 2019
My giant schnauzer puppy did not like this food at all. He only ate it after he was really really hungry. We tried it for about a month and finally decided to switch to another brand.

best food for my puppy
By tank on May 15, 2019
My Puppy is very delicate with the food I mean he could eat everything but then he will get allergies on his skin, so this is the one that has been working for him perfectly.
