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.

Finnegan Loves His New Food
By Phil on Oct 13, 2021
Finnegan has been on Chicken & Rice for over a year, but his breath has been horrible. We switched to Lamb & Brown Rice and his breath is a lot better, plus he "loves" the new food.

Soft Bowels
By Daniel on Aug 20, 2021
Soft bowels. We were feeding our 8 month old Great Dane another dog food and bowels were normal. Switched to Blue Buffalo little by little and bowels were soft. Switched back to Victor and bowels are normal again. I should also mention we have 2 other smaller dogs that have been doing fine on Blue Buffalo for 10 years.

Dogs did not eat it
By jumboshrimp on Jul 23, 2021
We fed this to our 3 big dogs and none of them would eat it tried several times. Thank goodness chewy refunded it and I ordered a new bag of regular chicken and rice. One dog won’t eat the life source bits but it helps their coat so much and over all energy and health.

More Glucosamine and Chondroitin
By DLT4 on Jun 9, 2021
At 98 pounds my Belgian Malinois more than qualifies as a large breed dog. After starting him on a large breed puppy formula I moved him to adult food and added cosequin tablets. Recently I was happy to find that Chewy sells a Blue Buffalo formula for large breeds with higher levels of glucosamine and Chondroitin to help keep his joints heathy. He already liked their adult lamb and rice dry food so switching it to large breed lamb and rice was seamless. Chewy also sells large breed canned Blue Buffalo chicken formula which he likes and it too has added benefits for joints.

Don’t buy lamb flavor
By Dani on May 26, 2021
My Australian shepherd was eating the chicken flavor since I brought him home at 10weeks and I switched him to the lamb flavor and I literally thought something was wrong with him, he chose to starve for 3 days over eating this … would not recommend. I switched my dog to the taste of the wild bison and he ate 3 cups in one sitting.

Dogs Like it
By Missy on May 10, 2021
I used another name brand that did not have any grains in it for the first year of my two German Shepherds. Then our Vet recommended that dogs should be on grains due to long term health issues. I gradually switched my dogs over to this dog food because it was one of the top rated ones. I do not regret this,. I now have peace of mind that I am doing what I can to ensure a long and healthy life for our pets.
