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.

My dog was diagnosed with Pancreatitis. I was told that 70% of German Shepherds get this affliction. However, this is my 7th German Shepherd, and have never had this happen to any of my other dogs. I started the prescription medicine ($150 a month) and gave it to her for a year and a half. I changed her food several times, hoping it would have a beneficial effect. That didn't happen until I tried Blue Buffalo. She's been off the medicine for 2 months and is having no further problems. I have to give all the credit to Blue Buffalo. If her symptoms (yellow stool and diarrhea) return, I'll let you know.

My German shepherd had lots of constipation with his prior dog food. When I couldn't find his in the store I decided to buy him something better. After a lot of research I selected this brand, in particular because it has a 15 pound bag which I can carry to its storage container. But this brand keeps my dog regular and that's what I was looking for so I know it is a well balanced meal for my retired Army bomb sniffer.

My Standard Schnauzer is a hard to feed dog. He won’t eat most dog food. I used to feed Blue Buffalo but then changed to something else because he wasn’t happy with it. We made the rounds on dog food. I finally came back to Blue Buffalo Life Protection. He loves it so who knows, obviously his tastes have changed. Great dog food.

I started with a single purchase wondering how a 30-pound would be delivered. After receiving that first delivery, I immediately moved to a bi-monthly order. I no longer need to carry that bag to and from my car and the price can't be beat. As a lover of 5 dogs, I get a quality item at a livable cost.

My dogs are very picky and one has a sensitive stomach. We were having to drive 30 mins to the next town to buy Blue and I would have trouble getting the bag in the car and into the house. Chewy has made my life easier, it gets delivered to my door and waits on my hubby to bring it in. The dogs love it and I love the convenience!

Sadly, my dogs wouldn't eat this. I had to add some wet food and some other dry food with it. They ate it that way, but didn't lick their bowls like they usually do. Also, my biggest eater who usually will eat anything, left some in his bowl.

I switched from Purina because I had heard some negative things about their ingredients and my dog LOVES her new food. She has been more playful since switching. She is 11 years old and is acting more like she did when she was 5 or 6.

My German Shepherd loves Blue buffalo it's all he has eaten since he was 4 weeks old. He is two now and we have recently started giving him adult food He loves it once he hears those pebbles hitting the plate he runs in to eat.
