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.

Do some research before buying this food
By Carli on May 26, 2020
We switched our dog's food to Blue Buffalo thinking it was a top choice for her. A couple of Months later she started having light episodes of shaking/seizures. After months of not getting a diagnosis from the regular vet I started googling all possible causes of dog seizures and ta-da! found several claims of dog owners that have experienced the same with their dogs and this brand. We immediately switcher to a natural diet of real chicken and vegetables and started seeing improvements after 2 weeks. She's to be seen by a neurologist next months for an MRI, but in the meantime, we have done some more research and consulted a dog nutritionist whose theory is that if we really love our dogs we We switched our dog's food to Blue Buffalo thinking it was a top choice for her.

10/10 would recommend
By bemo on Apr 28, 2020
My dog is super picky when it comes to food. I’ve always eyed this brand for years and decided to finally give it a shot. She immediately started wagging her tail and smelling the bag as I took it out the chewy box. So far so good.

Not Shitzu certified
By Wandas on May 18, 2020
I bought this brand for the first time since our Shitzu has become very finicky eating since she has lost her sister Shadow :( She refuses to eat it and puts her nose up to it.

Thank you Chewy Employees
By OdieandEllen on Mar 27, 2020
I work in health care and this is a great item but wanted to thank your employees I ordered dog food two weeks ago anticipating that my life was going to get busier. Service was great despite all that was going on. You people are great and want to wish you good health and stay safe in these times.
