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.

My puppy loves this food! However, I am thinking about switching to something different for her adult food and heres why. First, obviously the price is a little high. I don't mind paying more, but I also expect more. This bag does not have a ziplock closure at the top, which forces you to buy a separate container for the food and transfer it. Also, it was not until my puppy started eating this food that we noticed her trying to eat grass. Upon further research, dogs usually eat grass when their body is lacking in some nutrition. So, I'm concerned that she's not getting everything she needs with this food. I think we will stick to this for now, since she is use to it, but I plan to slowly transition My puppy loves this food!

We switched our 4 month old golden retriever to this grain-free food and it changed her life and ours. She has a sensitive stomach to most foods/treats but her poop has firmed up and she's much happier! Her coat is shiny and she has tons of energy, plus she loves the taste. Highly recommend.

Our puppy loves this food. We love that it is grain free and free of so many other poor ingredients. His coat has never looked better and he actually just got a compliment on how shiney it is. He is growing strong and healthy and I think this food is a large part of that.

I have a very gassious dog. She is a Bouvier de Flanders ( known for their gassy tummies) I have had to change food and brands 6 times since she was 3 months old. She is now a year and a half. I recommend this brand as it has helped so much with the bloating and gas we were dealing with. And the quality for the money is great.

Wanted to introduce our new pup to a grain free diet and Blue doesn't disappoint. When I started using this food, the company was a private one. But now a corporate holding.. a big worry. However, the quality seems the same and our young Lab loves it!!

I am forever grateful that I started my then 7 month-old puppy on Blue Buffalo. Many dog food brands contain "bad ingredients," but I know exactly what's in this recipe. I feel good giving this to my furbaby. He just turned a year old this month, so now I'm looking into buying the adult version. Couldn't be happier- both me and my dog!

None of my dogs have ever seen their 12th birthday. I decided to feed my new dog a premium food. Blue Freedom Grain Free is my choice. The way I see it you can pay more for the food or more at the vets office. My puppy is thriving thanks to Blue!

mixed this with other diamond puppy food I bought and the puppy seems okay with a nice mix instead of same old same old all the time. So far so good, but this is the first try with this variety.
