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.

I love having my dog and cat food delivered to my door, and everyone enjoys it. I put the dog food in food safe large containers, and the dogs are usually eating the food as it drops in the bucket. The cats love to play in the boxes, and since I have a cat with a chronic urinary tract infection and he needs prescription food it is great knowing that I can always get the food he needs quickly when we are starting to run low. Lucky to have Chewy on our side, great work everyone!

We had looked at several different brands when deciding to change Cindy's food /diet. We have been very happy with the results.She has taken to the new food and seems to get the benefits of the added ingredients in this brand. The initial discount was a nice surprise and the shipping cost was reasonable as we did not qualify for the free shipping.Still,a good deal for us with the auto-ship.Thnx.

My dog wasn’t wanting to eat the food I had been giving her anymore, so I went looking for something that’d be good for her. Heard about Blue Buffalo on TV and decided to try it. She loves it. She put some weight on and eats it regularly every day now without issue. :)

My 5-year-old Rough Collie has been through many different dog food brands. I aim for balanced dry food with no corn or wheat, high in protein. Better yet, one that he will eat at one sitting, as he's a picky eater. So far, Blue Buffalo is his favorite! He devours it right away. I like its great nutrition and the ease of having it delivered.

Used to feed my lab mix Purina and decided to switch to blue buffalo after a friend recommended it. Happy to see that it worked out! Chloe's fur looks much shinier, she has more energy, and enjoys scarfing down the food. You're dog won't say no to this.

My dogs love this food so much that they would not eat the old brand I was feeding them which I mixed into the new Blue Buffalo as I was told to do in order the make the switch but they picked their way around the old food (funny stuff there haha)

Jimi Hendrix, a Doberman, just loves the Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice Dry Food. He's doing so well on this food, which he's been eating for several months. Blue Buffalo products are all I give him and my 3 little doxies. The fact that they use only ingredients from and produced in the USA is extremely important to me. They are a high quality company.

We have been feeding our dog Piper this food for a while now. She loves the taste ( and she has clearly hated others) and I feel good knowing its good for her. Chewy saves us money and makes sure we always have food on hand.

I have had 2 dogs on this particular food, one for most of her life & one for her entire life. They are both healthy, strong & full of energy. My older dog (nearly 11) appears to be half her age. I can’t contribute everything to this food but I’d say it is the largest contributor.

This is a good dog food. Two out of my three dogs like it. The third dog (a Wheaten Terrier) is bleh/ennui about it. Usually one of the other two eat hers- if we do not get it away from them quick enough. Luckily I am using two brands of dry food (right now) so the Wheaten is eating something. Looks like I am back to the drawing board again finding dogfood that all three (pug, wheaten, & husky-malemute puppy (1 yr. old)) will eat on a regular basis. (I think my Wheaten prefers a lamb diet but not all lamb diets result in firm stool.) The search is on...again.
