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.

Disappointed

I heard such great reviews about this dog food and the first bag we purchased at a store, our pitbull mix couldn't eat fast enough. But when our bag from Chewy arrived, she wanted nothing to do with it. Had to mix with wet food to get her to eat it. She also started scratching which she rarely did before. I'm not sure what happened between the store bag and the Chewy bag, but I am very disappointed.

Great Food!

Our Mini Dachshund has been on Blue Buffalo Puppy food since we got him. Our vet recommended it. He likes it and he's a bit of a picky eater. He just turned a year old, so we're transitioning him onto the Blue Buffalo adult food and he's doing great on that too. Can't say enough good things about Chewy! They have a great selection of everything and their shipping is quick. They also have great customer service. When I tried to return something once, they told me to just keep it and donate it to another dog or shelter. I really like that, don't know of any other company that does that.

it has changed

This food was good, but it’s made one of my dogs have severe bowl issues and the others literally smell horrible all of the time. I’m constantly having to clean everything they touch because the smell stays. Do not order this for your dog.

inconsistent quality

I have auto shipped this product for quite some time now. I have received about 3 boxes now where the quality of the food was bad. In the good boxes that I have received, the food has been bigger sized food closer to the size of a small marble and it looked good and didn’t smell obnoxious and wasn’t crumbling. In the three boxes that had bad quality, the size of the food was closer to that of rabbit droppings and probably smelled like it too. The food was disintegrating so much I had to take a colander and sift out the disintegrated food that was coating the food and even after this the food was still covered with the soot from disintegrating. My dog was clearly not interested in the food when I received the boxes. These are expensive bags of food and when receiving a bad batch I have to go through extra expense of finding other food to mix with it to make it pallet-able for my dog to eat.

No for all dogs

Mixed it with my dogs usual food to give her something different. Made her sick everything she are it. After the 3rd time I separated out here regular food for her to eat and she was just fine. So much for being a better food!!

Upset dog's stomach

Followed procedure to mix a little in with old food and gradually increase amounts of Blue Buffalo. Dogs still got diarrhea and ate grass constantly. Went back to Nutro.

VERY HAPPY!!

We switched to Blue Buffalo chicken & brown rice life protection formula 2 months ago. All 4 dogs seem to love it. I heat water in the microwave, about 1/2 cup each & stir it all up, I usually add a Tbs of canned food in each bowl too. They all look healthy & happy. We will continue using this quality food.

Miscue on order

We ordered one bag of dog food which arrived in a timely fashion at our home in Millis. We later had a call from our former neighbor in Sturbridge to say two bags of the same food had been delivered there. I checked my credit card and saw had geen charged for three. Called Chewy and they saw the error and quickly corrected the situation.

Blue Buffalo BAD

I have been feeding this to my dog for about 2 months and his coat has lost his shine and became very dry and itchy. He is also losing more hair and I can see patches of skin! I am so scared for his health now!!!

Hmmmmmmmmm

I have been feeding my Australian Shepherd this food for a year, and the last bag we purchased has made him sick...vomiting and diarrhea. Very disappointed.
