Great customer service
By JeffZ on Jul 23, 2021
My puppy loves his dog food. But I wanted review the customer service experience. I never have dealt with a company with better customer service.I ordered the wrong size food and called customer service when I realized the error. It was too late to cancel because they ship super fast which is great.. I couldn’t believe how they handled my mistake and honestly didn’t expect such a positive outcome. I am a Chewy customer for life.

Wonderful puppy food!
By KellyT on Jun 10, 2021
I bought this for my 5-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. His breeder had him on Purina puppy food but his stool was very loose and he always seemed hungry. I switched to Blue Buffalo puppy kibble and wet food about a week ago. Since then his stool is now firm and he is eating twice a day on a very regular basis. He loves the food, I couldn't be happier. Would recommend 100%.

Havanese puppies weren’t impressed with taste
By Baxter on Jun 23, 2021
Had to cut up treats into tiny pieces and mix them in to get my puppy to eat this. He is very good motivated and will overeat other dog food if I don’t monitor him. His litter mates didn’t find this appealing either. Still two stars because it was easy for him to digest. He was regular with no gas.

Great food!
By Allie on May 26, 2021
My pup wasn’t very fond of his old food, I’d have to bribe him to eat. Since switching to Blue puppy, he gobbles all of his food down instantly. Sometimes as a treat I’ll pour a little warm water over it and he really enjoys it. It was also delivered super fast and on my porch by the next day. Chewy is the best!

Puppy food
By Jojo on Apr 5, 2021
I couldn't get royal canin as it was out of stock but I couldn't have my puppy eat my adult drugs food either. She loves it but I know it's not good for her yet. So o ordered the blue Buffalo chicken and oatmeal. It arrived very quickly as does everything I order through Chewy. My puppy wasn't eating it and she's a food hound. So I baked and the female on the other end shed the light on my brain and suggested since my puppy loves chicken and brown rice adult food why not get her the same but in puppy Buffalo. Duh.... I did. I got a full refund for the other donated it to the shelter and 2 days later I got new food and my puppy Furby loves it a lot. She still tries to eat the adult food but I I couldn't get royal canin as it was out of stock but I couldn't have my puppy eat my adult drugs food either.

A Quality Food
By Courtney on May 20, 2021
My pup was eating a Purina that gave him the worst stomach aches and irregular poops. We switched him over to this Blue Buffalo and he does not have the stomach upset, his bathroom breaks are much more regulated, and his coat looks great! Definitely sticking with Blue Buffalo for him.
