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.

Our senior JRT loves this food. I had switched from Blue to another brand that was supposed to be of higher quality but he didn’t like the food at all. We went back to Blue Buffalo and he’s eating without hesitation again!

Been happy with the Blue Buffalo products for years. Our Cane Corso is getting up there in years but has adjusted easily to this Senior Food.

I couldn't get my older akita to eat and had read a review from another akita owner. Had the same awesome results and I'm about to order more.

Our 9 year old Airedale suddenly lost hair in patches on her back and sides. The grain-free seems to be helping with her hair regrowth.

My 10 1/2 year old golden retriever was eating another brand of food when the size of bag I normally purchase was discontinued. I decided to switch because I did not want to buy multiple small bags or a large bag that would take at least two months for my dog to consume. So I researched good dog foods for seniors and Blue Buffalo Freedom was on the list. I made the decision and do not regret as my dog has eaten her food, this was not the case with the other brand.

Petey, our 10 year old pitbull mix is really slowing down and he's a very picky eater. I'd have to "dress up" his food so that he'd at least try a bit but he'd leave most in his dish. My younger dog was loving his Blue Buffalo so I decided to try the Grain-Free Freedom for Senior dogs. He loves it. No more "dressing up" his food with cheese and gravy. He eats it straight out of the bag. Thank you very much.

Our nearly 11-year-old Akita mix has been often leaving his food in his bowl. He just wasn't interested in his regular dog food anymore. He still loved treats, but would sometimes end up eating his breakfast for dinner. We bought Blue Buffalo Freedom Sr Chicken Grain-Free Dry dog food and mixed the food 2/3 old, 1/3-Blue Buffalo. He went wild over it! When it's meal time, he runs all over the house, bounds down the stairs, follows me to the kitchen and back to his bowl, and jumps at the cup while I'm walking in between. He is thrilled with his new food, and so are we! It's good to see him excited about eating again. We want to make sure that he maintains a healthy weight into his senior years Our nearly 11-year-old Akita mix has been often leaving his food in his bowl.

We want to make sure that he maintains a healthy weight into his senior years--not too heavy, but especially not losing weight and needing a special diet. This really will help him live longer, we believe. It's our first bag of Blue Buffalo, but we are sold on it and will be ordering more soon. … more

I have been getting the Zignature brand from Chewy for several years and the dogs have really enjoyed it. We have only one mini dachshund now as we have lost our other two small dogs to old age. We just switched to Blue Freedom to help manage her weight in her senior years. She seems to like it very much. We'll let you know after a couple of months how she is doing on it.
