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.

I've been working for BLUE Buffalo for about a year now, and I love the products! I try to be unbiased as possible, so I do my research on almost all dog foods you can buy at pet specialty stores. For the price of BLUE, it is hands down the best food you can get your dog! My dog, Willow, has been on BLUE for her whole life, and she is the happiest, healthiest dog you'll ever meet!

Accidently changed food immediately (from another Blue Buffalo), and my dog’s digestive system handled it great! I think she’s already losing weight, and we haven’t finished one bag yet. The price is great as well; it’s even cheaper than the food she was on before!

I wanted to feed my 8yr old dogs higher quality food to keep them healthy and reduce their extra weight. They love this! And I love not having to lug a heavy bag home from the store. My lab has not had skin issues or itching since she started eating Blue Buffalo. They have both lost some weight too... A win all around :)

I can’t get my dog food just anywhere, So I have used Pet Smart. They are out of it or out of the size I need all the time. So I tried Chewie.com best thing I ever did. Ordered on Wednesday had it on Thursday. And I don’t have to carry it all the way

I have used Blue Buffalo products for the last several years - an adult formula for my 7 year old Basset Hound (has been on this brand for almost two years) and now that I have a 4-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, I use the puppy formula for him. Neither of my dogs have excess gas that other dog foods have given my other dogs (past and present) who ate other reputable, costly brands. Blue Buffalo food has proven to be easily digested by both dogs and I have not run into issues of vomiting or loose stools with this brand with either my older dog or my puppy. I have also had no problem with them wanting to eat it and the Basset Hound is a persnickety eater and would skip meals in the past with I have used Blue Buffalo products for the last several years - an adult formula for my 7 year old Basset Hound (has been on this brand for almost two years) and now that I have a 4-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, I use the puppy formula for him.

Both my fur babies love it! I Haven't seen any loss of weight just yet, but exercise is lacking due to a terribly long and cold winter. So, more to come later. But, they both seem to enjoy the food! I have one dog that is half pug and half lab, and he has a lot of skin allergies/dry flaky skin and he has jot been itching or licking as much. This improvement could also be from the omega 3-6-9 chews that I have been giving. Overall, very happy with the food and will be ordering again!

My Bella, an older female lab whose weight I am trying to watch because she is a big girl, eats this and she loves it. Her coat is beautiful and she has been very healthy her whole life. I know it is due to the good nutrition from Blue Buffalo. She has eaten this brand her whole life.

Product is for my two cavalier spaniels and can't tell for awhile if they like it. I only know that they prefer any dry food when mixed with fresh cooked chicken and will avoid dry food unless extremely hungry

We use this to help keep our catahoula's weight just right but our terrier has been losing so much weight we just add wet food (gives him more fat content)...a great start to keeping them healthy. We rotate the different flavors (thankfully their tummys aren't sensitive) and they really enjoy it...not the same old.

Both of my dogs are not real excited about this food. They usually scarf the food down. They actually turn their noses up at it. Had to start adding a little chicken broth to get them to eat it.
