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.

Needs Re-sealable closure
By Coty on Mar 4, 2021
New puppy, looking for best food. Dalmatian and low purines. Had gotten small bag at pet store, had nice re-sealable closure. Ordered the larger bag from Chewy and to my surprise no re-sealable closure. I'll have the larger bag longer and Blue Buffalo doesn't have larger bags with re-sealable. Disappointing

Odie loves this food
By Digestive on Feb 18, 2021
Great food my 5 month Silver Standard Puppy loves this food and is growing fast and strong with it. Love the ingredients. Tried Hills Science Diet, and Life’s Abundance and Odie loves Blue and it works well with his digestion.

Something is off...
By RaeL on Jan 22, 2021
We’ve been using Blue Buffalo for the last year between two huskies puppies a few months apart. All was well until the last two bags ordered. Something is off. Both puppies have had non-stop diarrhea just as the last reviewer stated. It got to the point where the older puppy just stopped eating it altogether. We switched brands and all has gone well since the transition.

Blue Buffalo dog food
By Shep on Feb 16, 2021
This is the perfect dog food with lots of protein for my one-year-old German Shepherd. He loves it very much, especially when I add a little warm water and a couple of tablespoons of blue Buffalo chicken or beef stew in a can

My puppies love this food
By Delicious on Feb 7, 2021
I have two puppies and they both love this food. I feed the three cups a day (breakfast lunch and dinner) and they clean their plates. I glad to be able to feed them healthy food that they love.

not the best
By 2Weims on Jan 11, 2021
adopted 2 puppies that were on purina puppy chow; wanted them to have better quality food; after transitioning to Blue Buffalo puppy both dogs had non stop diarrhea. I think that the quality of Blue Buffalo is just not there. Large puppy food kibble is only slightly bigger kibble, not worth extra money.

So far so good!
By Josh on Feb 14, 2021
We started are Golden Retriever on this food at 2.5 months old and is now 4.5 months old. He is growing like a weed and is very healthy. He weighs 35 lbs which is on track for his growth curve.

All 3 of my puppies love it!
By Savwest21 on Jan 20, 2021

Good food for our big puppy
By PSH65 on Mar 4, 2021
Our large breed puppy does well on this Blue Buffalo variety. Glad to have a fast and easy way to get it, since we can't always find it in stores close by
