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.

Another disappointment
By Thomas on Nov 6, 2020
Reviews were good, However, why can't there be a good picture or exact description of the good?? This turned out to be tiny and tinier kibble. My dog won't eat it. When he finally does it is spread throughout the house. It's stuck in his mouth and gums. I was trying to replace a discontinued food, and want large dog food in large chunks. Now I'm stuck with very expensive good my dog does not want to eat!!!

Likes the Kibble, Hates the Bits
By FleeandDaisy on Sep 29, 2020
I was looking for a kibble that my dog would actually want to eat and this gets me halfway there. My dog eats all the kibble but leaves the lifesource bits (see photo( Apparently this is a common issue after a quick google and Blue Buffalo will say that there’s enough nutrition in the kibble, but then that means she’s just not eating 1/3 of the bag I’m paying for. Also, I’m sure she is missing something!

My dog pushed the food away
By Jose on Aug 29, 2020
My lab literally pushed the food away with her nose. I did notice a weird smell. This is the second batch (different flavor) in a row of Blue Buffalo that she just doesn't like. I don't know what happened, she used to devour it. Time to change brands.

Great dog food

Loves it and can't get enough
By Gonzo on Jul 21, 2020
Gonzo is a 3 year old American Bulldog who is just a sweet dog. I'd been feeding him Black Gold Explorer Original Performance Formula but I was looking for another food that would be healthier for him and decided to give Blue Buffalo a try. It was an instant winner. He just loves this food and his coat, eyes and demeanor is alomost puppy like now.

New food for Nico
By Nico on Sep 24, 2020
I thought it would be better for him but he doesn’t seem to like it very much and now he burps a lot

Great Dane & Lab Approved
By DogMomMya on Jul 8, 2020
Our dogs love this food! They pretend they haven't eaten and sit by the food container drooling until we give them 1-2 pieces of additional kibble, then they trot away. It is meal and snack approved by them!

Blue Buffalo
By jvonrohr on Jul 2, 2020
My 1.5yo German Shepherd has some digestive issues. But he has NEVER had a problem with Blue Buffalo food. The ingredients are so good for him and I'm never worried he's not getting enough nutrients. Love it.

No complaints from my 3 year old. I mix with some water to slow her down a bit. :)
