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.

Great for their fur!
By BlueFood on Feb 22, 2021
We have had Gabby on a raw food diet for a couple of years. When we got a puppy we decided to change her food and try something new. Wow! after a month on Blue Buffalo her fur is so shiny. I swear it has filled out and gotten softer. She is a pitbull so her hair is pretty thin. But everyone has commented on how soft and shiny it is. Both her and the puppy are healthy and love the food.

Blue Buffalo
By dtempel on Feb 22, 2021
Our pup just turned one and she never really seemed to care about meal time which I thought was weird. We are first time dog owners. I decided when it was time to graduate her from puppy food, it was worth trying another brand. We ordered Blue Buffalo and she seems to be much happier! We are glad we found something she likes!

Just my dogs
By Mike on Jan 25, 2021
Well my dogs wouldn’t eat this food but what can I can? I didn’t try it . So I called and the great customer service that Chewy Always provides happily refunded me and I went right back on line to try something else. I’m looking for a great product without junk fillers in it and this had glucosamine right in it so I thought I’d try it but unfortunately my dogs ( Chihuahu and Minpin) wouldn’t eat it.

Dogs LOVE this food!
By Splatz on Jan 23, 2021
I decided to buy this food to try out for our very finnicky German Shepherd since I had heard good things and wanted to give him a more nutritious food that he would actually eat. He absolutely loves it! My little Rat Terrier and Chihuahua also really love it so I plan to change them to it once their other food is gone.

Saw Improvement in Less than One Week
By Miaza on Jan 18, 2021
Blue Buffalo has made a huge improvement for our dog. She started having trouble with her hip. She wasn't able to jump up into things like she had before and wasn't wanting to play as much. We were very concerned because she is still very young. My son checked her dog food ingredients and realized that corn was the first thing listed. I had been buying a well know and I thought good dog food as it was not that cheap! We checked into things and found out that corn is not good and can cause many issues. We researched dog food brands and decided to go with Blue Buffalo as it has such healthy ingredients. With in less than a week her energy level is back to normal and she is jumping into things Blue Buffalo has made a huge improvement for our dog. She started having trouble with her hip.

With in less than a week her energy level is back to normal and she is jumping into things like there was never an issue. We were shocked how fast the change was and are thrilled to have her doing normal things again and having fun. She loves the taste, you can tell because she eats it the minute it hits the bowl. The other one she would wait on. We won't be trying any other foods for her. I also have recommended this to my other family members that have dogs. It has really made a difference for our friend!!! … more

Bad gas that clears a room
By Bluedogfood on Feb 17, 2021
She had one days worth and OMG she could clear a room :( she's 5 yrs old and has never had a gas problem before. Recently changed her food because she seemed bored with what she was on. So have a 30lb bag to donate and gotta find an alternative.

It Works for Us
By SatisfiedLabOwner on Jan 22, 2021
We just switched to this brand after a family member recommended trying it for our dog's skin/fur problems. He's 10 and his allergies seem to have gotten so much worse in the last year. Now he finally stopped licking his fur off. We're still treating the last ear infection, but hoping those stop recurring as well. Loving Blue Buffalo.

Chewy purchase rocked
By DG36 on Feb 21, 2021
Loved the Chewy process! My disappointment is with the brand Blue Buffalo. For a 30 pound bag of food I would appreciate the bag having a way for me to close the bag up after each time I feed my dog and it doesn't.

Chewy Rocks!
By Gustus on Feb 11, 2021
Chewy was very helpful in my attempts to purchase Royal Canin Feline SO Urinary Prescription Diet, canned and dry. Once I got the RX/Script uploaded to them, my order, plus the Blue Buffalo for Gus, arrived the next day. Thanks Chewy
