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.

We're big fans of Blur Buffalo and prefer to give our pets the best and most nutritious meals available to them; Henry our senior Ratt Terrier is moving into the age where he may need some additional attention and we've begun to transition him into this "Senior" formula seamlessly. He can be finicky when it comes to new foods and really hasn't even flinched switching to this recipe.

Had my 9 yr old Beagle on one of the other Blue Buffalo dog foods and wanted to try this one as she is showing her age a little. She really took to this one and loves it! Showing a little more zip in her step too.

My Sadie has been eating this since she became a senior. She loves it and can’t wait for me to put a scoop in her bowl every morning. Thank you Chewy for delivery to my door! Now I don’t have to worry anymore!!

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.

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.

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--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.

Was forced to switch to another food from the Fromm Family dog foods that my dogs enjoyed. So, wanting to stay with Chewy, and with their recommendations, I switched to this Blue Freedom food, but haven't yet introduced this. I'm sure it will be enjoyed by my dogs.
