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.

Tear on Dog Food Bag
By Accident on Apr 17, 2021
I really don’t mean to make this a one star review, I love blue Buffalo for my dogs but when I opened the box to transfer the bag into our food storage bin, there was a hole at the bottom and kibble went all over my floor. I understand accidents happen but maybe a better reinforced material can be used for their bags now.

Puppies love it!
By Athena on Mar 21, 2021
We adopted two 10 week old sibling rescue puppies from Tennessee. The shelter had been feeding them Eukanuba puppy, but once they had settled in with us, we switched them to Blue Buffalo, having liked the idea that real chicken, rather than chicken meal, was a primary ingredient. Our vet subsequently confirmed it to be a high quality puppy food, so we felt we had made a good choice. The puppies love it and there isn't a scrap of food left in their bowls. Works great, also, as a training treat! Very happy with the quality.

Love this food!
By Katie on Mar 28, 2021
When I originally adopted my dog at 2 months old, the owner was feeding him Purina puppy chow which I continued on until he was 8 months of age. I then switched to blue Buffalo and instantly saw a change in behavior, he was not so sluggish, way more active and ‘puppy-Like’. I’ve heard many bad reviews about this food, but from my own eyes, my dog seems so much more healthy since being on this diet.

Not good for puppy's digestion
By KodysHuman on Apr 1, 2021
Although I stand by this brand for my adult dog, the puppy formula gave my new furbaby diarrhea. I spoke with my veterinarian and she said that this has been common with her patients under 9 months. I needed to switch to something more gentle on Kody's digestive system. Again, I'm not downing this product in other formulas, but think it's too strong for new pups.

GSD 5 month old pup DOES NOT LIKE THIS FOOD
By ewokinco on Mar 29, 2021
Food may be fine, but what counts is if the pup will eat it and my male 5 month old GSD has been eating well with another food.He will not eat this one when mealtime comes. I even put a little canned food in this morning to see if I could entice him and he still turned away. I will have to give this food away. Sorry I cannot recommend. But who knows if your pup will eat it?

Blue Buffalo Puppy Food
By Barb on Feb 16, 2021
Recently purchased a puppy from a breeder & breeder was feeding Diamond brand food. I wasn’t satisfied with quality of that food, puppy did not seem fond of it (she quite often left food in bowl) and puppy was having gas & digestive issues. I talked to my vet about switching her food & that I was thinking about Blue Buffalo brand. Vet supported my decision to switch. I slowly added Blue Buffalo & phased out the Diamond brand. What a difference!!! My puppy now looks forward to eating & finishes her food, no more gas issues & I have piece of mind knowing that she is eating a higher quality of food. Chewy is making that decision even easier with their subscription service! Thank you Blue Buffalo Recently purchased a puppy from a breeder & breeder was feeding Diamond brand food.

Love Chewy!
By Tryphaena on Feb 9, 2021
My best friend told me about Chewy.com after she sent me a curated box of goodies for our new puppy. I'm so glad she did, because I am now subscribed to have our dog food sent right to our door without having to worry about running out! In a time where going to the grocery store is literally a risk, this is an awesome service and one less thing to worry about! Shipping was really quick as well, and I love that I can find SO much variety as far as treats for my pup because he is in the chewing stage and needs a lot of distractions!

Great product at a great value!
By Kate on Mar 22, 2021
This was our first purchase from Chewy and we could not be happier! We just rescued 2 Aussie/Heeler mix puppies and love not only how fast our Chewy order arrived but what a great value it is! We will definitely continue to be loyal Chewy customers.

Excellent dog food
By Katy on Apr 12, 2021
We have 2 Bulldogs and we made the transition without issues and now the puppies are getting muscle weight, we are noticing how they are getting big and the poop is nice and constant.
