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.

Losing weight and shiny coats!
By SARA on Aug 22, 2021
My doggies have lost weight and their coats are so much shinier! I do not measure food for my 7 dogs (impossible) just leave it out all of the time. They are still slimming up! The main porky one has lost 12 pounds. Took a few months, but yay! I use the same in the canned version for a treat in the morning. One doggy gets pills so I just put a ball of the canned and press onto the pills. She gobbles it up! The rest get 5 balls each. I have been won over by Blue Buffalo! I use Autoship and it is so nice to have this delivered to my door. Took a little while to figure out how often and how much for the autoship but I have a few extra bags as back up. Better to have extra than run out. The schedule My doggies have lost weight and their coats are so much shinier! I do not measure food for my 7 dogs (impossible) just leave it out all of the time.

We feel much better now
By Typh on Sep 11, 2021
My dog Albion had gained a lot of weight while my grandad was around, he'd feed him everything, we switched to this after he moved out and followed our instructions and my boy has safely dropped a good bit of that weight. I did try another more inexpensive food for a short period of time but it upset our belly. He loves this food and even shares a piece with the cats here and there. I also love it because he's down to a more healthy weight, we still have a bit to go, but I love this product.

My dogs live the food, hate the little nutritional bits
By LHawk on Aug 20, 2021
My three dogs (weighing from 7 lbs to 15 lbs) love this food. What they refuse to eat are the little "Life Supplemental" balls. In fact one of them manages to somehow spread those and only those all over the kitchen floor around their bowls - then I walk in and step on them in bare feet! I think I need to move my hand vac into the kitchen! Those things need to have a flavor overhaul or something! I've seen a number of comments about those little balls, so dogs agree! They're awful! Otherwise the food is great according to my pups, and they're pretty picky!

Dogs are Not a Fan
By JLHA on Aug 28, 2021
We have two large dogs. We were trying to find a new food for them, as our old food no longer available for delivery. The bag is not resealable and our toddler knocked the bag over, spilling some food. (Bin is still full of old food) The dogs were not a fan of this new food. They both just sniffed the mess, then walked away! We also noticed after a few days that one dog has been throwing up after eating. We decided to discontinue the food.

Both my dogs really like Blue Buffalo
By Molly on Sep 1, 2021
It was time for me to purchase another bag of dog food. I had been buying an expensive premium dog food and I thought I never have checked the ingredients. I was surprised by what I had found. I decided to check out Blue Buffalo and the ingredients were so much better and for a better price. Both my dogs really like this - more than the other dog food. So happy I made the switch. I'm sure my dogs are too!

Dog who eats anything won't touch it!
By cmmoore on Sep 13, 2021
Our beagle was getting a little on the heavy side. We have always used Blue products. This little guy will eat absolutely anything. We even have a slow feed bowl as he inhales food. Will not eat it ,even mixed in with his old food. it is also a much different color that the regular chicken and rice formula its yellow in color.

Little Green Balls?!
By AJRJ on Sep 6, 2021
We have two dogs and one of them refuses to eat the little green "Life Supplemental" bal. She somehow manages to spread those and only those all over the floor and only eats half of the kibble. From reading other reviews, our dog is not the only one; Blue Buffalo really needs to rethink this product!! Time to look for a new food

Little Tiny kibble
By Jackie on Jul 20, 2021
Royal Canin has chosen to pause their availability of the Large Breed Weight Care Dry Dog Food, with no explanation. I was told it will not be back in stock until 2022! Too bad, my dogs were thriving on it. I ordered the Royal Canin Regular Large Breed Dog Food and they began throwing up and they didn't like it. I know my dogs are very sensitive to fish products. I ordered the Blue Buffalo Life protection Formula Healthy Weight Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food going by the chicken & brown rice being similar to the Royal Canin Weight Care. When the Blue Buffalo came, the first thing I noticed was the size of the kibble. It looks like cat food, or very small dog food. It plumps Royal Canin has chosen to pause their availability of the Large Breed Weight Care Dry Dog Food, with no explanation. I was told it will not be back in stock until 2022!

The pups did not like it.....
By Rayjay1122 on Aug 8, 2021
I have a senior Golden Retriever and 3 Dachshunds that I was forced to find a new food for. Tried this Blue Buffalo life protection and it has a strong smelk like green beans or something. My dogs did not enjoy the taste and grazed on it just due to that being the only choice. I just tried a new kind which thay all 4 love which is Purina weight management shredded chicken and rice. Also the Blue Buffalo made their stools gray colored and their hair seemed less soft while on that food.

Tastes good and good for you!
By Peggy on Sep 8, 2021
We just started using Blue Buffalo recently and my baby loves it. When my Vet recommended that Flo needed to lose a few pounds, I immediately ordered the Healthy weight formula. Flo really enjoys it. Thanks!
