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.

I purchased this item and was sooooo happy I did. I use to purchase this item at my local pet store for so much more than Chewy has, in addition it was half the size! Not to mention how well T-Rex eats it. So I was thrilled & loved the size,the price and saved my back(usually shop on the way home.) by purchasing it at Chewy. Many thanks!!

I switched to BB healthy weight after years on Purina EN. Both my dogs tolerated this change without stomach upset. The small kibble makes it easy to mix with canned food.

I was getting concerned that our two little dogs might be putting on weight since I cant walk them anymore so I decided to try the Small Breed Healthy Weight Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food. They love it!

I changed my dogs food from Beneful to Blue Buffalo. I wanted something more healthier and better for them. They love this new dog food! They get very excited when they’re fed. I’m definitely sticking with Blue Buffalo. May be more expensive, but so worth it when my dogs enjoy it and it’s better for them!

My 2 Pomeranians seem to gobble this food right up. The smaller bite size bits are easy for them to chew and they seem to love the taste. I have tried several brands of Weight Management foods in the past, and this food seems to be the most agreeable with their stomachs and taste!

We've had our dachshund, Max, on Blue Buffalo food for about a year now. His coat looks AMAZING and he doesn't seem to itch as much as he had while on other dog food. Very pleased

My dog liked her Hills Science Diet better. She did not care for this brand or taste. Staying with what she likes best.
