About Blue Buffalo
Blue Buffalo started with a beloved Airedale named Blue, whose health issues prompted his family to look for better nutritional solutions for pets. What resulted was a new kind of food made from high-quality natural ingredients, with real meat as the bedrock of every formula. Feed your pet with the nutrition he deserves and the taste he naturally craves with BLUE's innovative formulas.
Do you need to still blend when changing to the adult version of this food?

yes
What type of prebiotics are in this BB puppy formula and how much per pound or cup?
Is the meat used free of hormones and antibiotics?
Answer by • Jan 31, 2018
The meats used in Blue Buffalo products do not contain any antibiotics or added hormones.
Show shape please
Answer by • Jun 25, 2019
The food contains both circular and triangular pieces. For visual reference, please click on the small kibble picture to the left of the main product picture.
I am very pleased with this food except I should not have bought such a big bag or waited until I knew Bella liked it. I bought a small bag to introduce her to it and waited for the big bag to come. Found out the triangle shapes are to big for her to eat she spits them out I will have to find something smaller for her. I did not open the bag yet I will donate

Not good for my puppy
I started giving Blue Buffalo to my puppy ever since we got him. But after 4 months, he would have an upset stomach almost every day. He was straining and having a lot of diarrhea at the same time. I switched him to a higher quality brand and he immediately got better. I’m not sure if this was a coincidence, but I’m definitely not buying BB anymore.

Auto shipped dog food
I have ordered with this company plenty times and the most recent deliveries of my blue buffalo dog food have been expired and no good. For the amount of money we pay and time we wait the dog food should not be sickening to my dogs and pups. Inventory and shelf life needs to be taken more seriously, as I had six dogs sick from eating their regular dog food because chewy is shipping out expired or bad dog food.

Best puppy formula
I am a breeder. I use it for all my pregnant moms and their pups. It brings healthy pups and well balanced moms. I love the large bag and that it is delivered right to my door.

Great food choice!!!
My sweet puppy loves this food. It is a great quality but still affordable. She has been on it now since she about 15 weeks old and she is now about to be 9 months tomorrow. Great option for your pups.

Made my dog sick
Ever since I bought this bag of food, my dog has been getting sick, and refusing to eat. Throwing up, lots of gas, and diarrhea. He has never had these issues. I will be changing to a different brand of food.

Puppy loves it
My puppy loves this dog food and it apparently agrees with him as he does not vomit or have loose stools. Of course, being that my puppy is a yellow lab which are notoriously food-motivated, that may not be saying too much. However, Blue Buffalo does offer great products and this is another one of them. I also suggest spending a little more for dog food as the cheaper stuff goes right through your pet which you will notice with more frequent BM's.

Great product
I decided to try Blue for my new puppy because the other product I was using for my older puppy did not agree with the younger one. Once she was on it, there were no issues. Everyone was happy

Not Such a Happy Dog with this Food
When we got our new puppy it was a trick trying to figure out what food to buy. We started with another brand the vet suggested but I wanted something more healthy for him. I got another Blue Life Protection (Small Breed Puppy) and mixed it with the other stuff. Then by accident I purchased this vs. the small breed puppy package. Unfortunately, I bought a bag of another brand that is not at Chewy (which is amazing that they don't) but our dog will do somersaults for it. It's too expensive to give by itself twice a day so trying to find a kibble mix that he will love like this other stuff. So frustrating, time consuming and too expensive to keep trying. This is my 2nd dog that has not liked this brand. I will just have to figure something else out I guess.
