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.

First time with Blue Buffalo
By Diane on Dec 28, 2020
The last 44 years we shared our home with numerous of our fur family members. This last year our two Australian Shepherd’s have not been satisfied with the food we have always used. So we purchased Blue Buffalo dry & wet food and they both love it! They are satisfied, happy, and now have a full belly at each meal! We love our two fur babies and want nothing but the very best for them! That’s why we choose Blue Buffalo!

My dog loves this food
By Aida on Oct 2, 2020
My Chi usually rejects dry dog food but, she actually likes this one. We have been trying to get her to lose weight. She is a Chihuahua Mix that weighed 18.9 lbs. at her last annual exam. The Vet wants her down to 16 lbs. This food has helped and she is almost at her goal. She weighs 16.4 lbs now. We will continue to buy this food,

Noooo not a diet!!!!!
By Tamberlin on Sep 30, 2020 Top 100 Contributor
Much puppy angst as we switch them from their normal Blue Buffalo to this weight management one but they are eating it. They’ve always gotten a small scoop of dry mixed into half a little tray of wet. They just dont like being on a diet period :D

It a good dog food but...
By lahpetchonka5199 on Aug 8, 2020
My little man is not that fond of fish or fish meal. He will eat it reluctantly only if mixed really well with a wet food that hides the taste; he won’t eat the individual morsels that fall of the wet food. My boy is really picky about what he likes and is willing to eat. When I tried to give him the dry without wet food he just gives me a look like you expect me to eat this; he’s a funny little man:-)
