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.

Is this the small bites?
Answer by ChewyNov 30, 2017
The Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Breed Adult Fish & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food has small bites.

Is blue buffalo life protection formula adult fish & brown rice recipe dry dog food grain free?
Answer by ChewyDec 27, 2018
This food is not grain free.

Is the fish in the Life Protection Formula Fish and Brown Rice farm raised?
Answer by ChewySep 03, 2018
Blue Buffalo utilizes both farms raised and ocean-caught fish in their products. They will use framed raised fish during times when the wild fish population has to regrow.

My 1 year old pup has always eaten Blue chicken and brown rice. I wanted to try the fish or lamb so is that bad to change?
Answer by ChewyAug 12, 2018
When changing formulas always transition your pet to avoid gastrointestinal upset. Start by mixing 25% of BLUE with your dog’s old food, and gradually increase the proportion of BLUE over the next 14 days.

Incredible Difference

I’ve always fed my dog quality kibble, but would steer clear of Blue because of their recalls in the past. My friend encouraged me to give them a try after they changed several of their formulas and their company seemed to be back on track. I’m so glad I did. My dog is on his third bag of Blue now and his coat has never been healthier in his 6 years. He had a patch of dry skin on his nose for over a year that I have been treating with balm for months, this spot healed within weeks of eating Blue! In the past I always fed Victor or Diamond, will definitely be sticking to Blue from now on!

Chewy is awesome

My 3 dogs have tried many brands and most if not all of the Blue Buffalo did the best in regards to their skin allergies and digestive issues.

My boy loves it. We had to order this as his regular Blue Wilderness was out of stock. Very similar ingredients.

Lab loves this food

Recently transitioned to Blue Buffalo after the food we purchased for many years changed their recipe. Our Lab absolutely loves this food. We are hoping to keep feeding her this premium/holistic food for her lifetime. Thank you Blue Buffalo for quality. Thank you to Chewy for excellent customer service

So far so good

I am in the process of switching from the chicken to the fish, & so far it is going well.

Horrible!!

I purchased this food trying to give my standard poodles a variety in their food so they don’t get bored. HUGE MISTAKE!! All 3 of my girls ended up with liquid diarrhea, and one of them ended up super dehydrated and with no appetite. Not to mention, they weren’t really interested in it to begin with. We immediately stopped feeding this, fed chicken and pumpkin for a couple of days, and switched back to their normal food. Now they’re all happy and healthy again. I really wanted to be happy with BLUE, but this was a definite no-go.

Food they eat without fail!

I've been looking for a high quality, grain included, easy on the stomach food for both my dogs for about a year. This was similar to the one they were on but I had to add things to get them to eat it but this food, I can't hardly get it in their bowls before they are digging in! Will be a reoccurring purchase!

Our Dogs LOVE It!

We have 2 pups and they share everything, so we needed to find a food they could both eat when our big dog was diagnosed with food and environmental allergies. They both LOVE this food and it’s a great option for pups that have food allergies that doesn’t break the bank. They have been on this food for 8 years now and Chewy has the most affordable pricing I’ve found.

They don’t like it

I’m sure this is a great brand. My Labs didn’t like it. May have just been the flavor.

Good company...Bad bag?

Cannot confirm, but we believe this bag was tainted. Our dog had the runs all afternoon. So be cautious when ordering; check for recalls.
