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.

My puppy loves the taste but...
By Kristin on Apr 22, 2021
So my puppy loves the taste but this food is giving her horrible gas. She is a Weimaraner and this food also gave our previous weims a similar issue. I’m not sure why I decided to try it again, but this food just isn’t great for my pups. She has been transitioning into this food for about a week and I’m going to stop and just go back to her old food. I hope this review helps. :)

Made my dogs fur coat smell awful
By Golden on Apr 10, 2021
Switched to this after the breeder had him on a different food. Puppy seemed to like the food and it didn’t upset his stomach. But it made his fur coat smell awful like fish. Thought if I gave it some time he would adjust but it just kept making him smell worse. So we are in the process of changing food again.

Did not sit well with my huskey
By Am25 on Mar 22, 2021
I heard blue buffalo was the best, so I bought a bag. My Yorkie is doing ok, but my husky not so much. Half the time my husky gets watery... I am going to take that as a hint that it's not sitting well with her. I read reviews and saw that other husky owners have had the same issues. I even mixed in the old food and new food as recommended. I did not shock her by giving this to her right away. Back to the drawing board.

Picky eater
By Mastiffpupper on Mar 21, 2021
After talking with our vet on best quality puppy cow for large breed dogs finally found one that he likes and doesn't give him stomach problems. Ordering it through chewy makes things so much easier since I live out in the country and the nearest store that carries this is over 90 miles away.

Our Puppy Loves it!
By BonniesParents on Apr 28, 2021
Our puppy loved this as she grew up now that she is almost 9 months old we are going to get her on a higher protein and meat diet but this was great to get her started and going strong!

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

Excellent service
By Muffin on Apr 1, 2021
I have now order several times from chewy and I will only purchase stuff from them - Receive when it says it will and delivered to my front door instead of me going to the store and hoping that they will have it in stock - Excellent

Love this company and it’s prices.
By PoePoe on Apr 14, 2021
My pup PoePoe loves it. Got him from rescue and he was on a different diet. Changed to new food and he is doing great now. Recommend this to anyone with fur babies.
