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.

seems to be working
By CeeJayCoo on Oct 8, 2021
Right now I am mixing new Blue with previous dry kibble and she seems to be eating and enjoying her food better. Still looks for leftovers however. Guess that goes back to the days when I was actually "cooking" meals weekly! Happily that is only a memory now. Still have a bit of older kibble left so will have a better picture when it is only Blue in her feed bowl. But I am optimistic! Pricier but if she eats and enjoys eating, it's worth the extra $$. PS: she is a 2YO 11+ lb Maltipoo

Continuing the food the previous owner used
By CarefulShopper on Sep 26, 2021
It's just OK. I am continuing the food the previous owner used. Our dog does not seem much interested. It is really hard to coax him to eat. There is a 7-week wait for a new patient appointment with the vet. As soon as we have our first appointment with the vet, I will ask what food she recommends and consider making a change.

My picky dog loves it
By Manci on Sep 19, 2021
My little 6# rat terrier dachsund mix is very picky. I make chicken and rice for her but also have this dry food available. She carries a mouthful of it to the living room from the kitchen and eats all but the small dark pieces. Im wondering whats in those dark pieces that she doesn't like? Cranberries?

It isn't a seal bag
By Victoria on Oct 11, 2021
I'm impressed by the size of the bag, but it does disappoint that it won't RE-SEAL. Now, i don't know what to do with an open bag for a dog that eats little every time... I'm definitely bummed.

Woofed it down!
By cj35 on Aug 23, 2021
My dogs really went for this food. They were getting picky and wouldn't eat. I love the fact that the kibbles are smaller in size. Much easier for one of my dogs to chew. Good ingredients also. They come running now as soon as they hear the bag open!

Our mini schnauzer loves this and, with some water sprinkled on top which makes a little gravy, finishes it right away and licks the bowl clean. The small dog version is perfect for our mini!

Happy customer
By Debbie on Jul 24, 2021
Had to switch dog foods after 11 years ( found out my old dog food was being recalled) I have picky eaters ( 5 dogs). I had to find a food that all 5 would eat. I read the reviews on this product. So we bought a small bag and slowly mixed it with the old for a week until it was more blue buffalo than anything. They all ate it. I was shocked and impressed at the same time. Very happy customer

Yummy my girls love this
By Babydoll on Sep 2, 2021
I was skeptical about changing from science diet but because I seemed like they were tired of it after four years. I decided to try the blue buffalo! It was a good choice they love it.

First time trying this product, Milo loves it and the size of bites just right for a Maltese. I ordered and it was delivered in less than 24 hours. Hard to beat.
