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.

Quality food
By Bittyboo on Oct 4, 2020
It is a bit higher priced than I could normally afford, and I may not always have the means to feed this brand. But while I can, it has made a difference. I have 6 dogs and many fosters in and out. The residents didn’t immediately care for it but they seem to enjoy it now. You don’t have to feed large amounts to satisfy their needs, so I feel I don’t not waste food. Also their poop is firm and regular without all the fillers in lower quality brands.

good, but my dog developed allergies
By daulton on Oct 4, 2020
My dog liked this food but as soon as I put him on it he started itching and licking his paws like crazy. I had him on this food for about a month. It was the only thing that changed so it has to be the food. I thought it was the chicken but his old food had chicken so the only other ingredient that was different is YEAST. Regardless, I had to take him off this food.

My GoldenRetriever
By Hunter on Oct 4, 2020
I don’t know why , my dogs, Golden retrievers didn’t really care for it . They wouldn’t eat it about 2/3rds into it . So I got the pro plans savor blend chicken. I’ve tried it one other time , long time ago & they ate it. So maybe the recipe was changed ?

Dogs gobble it up
By Melissa on Aug 20, 2020
My dogs love all the Blue Buffalo foods. I like to rotate them (a bag of chicken, then fish, then lamb). What I like about changing up their food is that, because of the high quality ingredients, they have no pooh issues and it keeps them interested. I hope that Blue will consider making more Healthy Weight formulas in the future so I can offer them greater variety. They're older now and not as active, so I have to watch their figures.

Jury is still out
By TexasTaxGal on Sep 28, 2020
Our dog seems to love this food. The motivation for the purchase was his scooting; this food was recommended for better anal gland support. Gross as that is it's grosser when the dog scoots across the floor in front of guests! So far that seems to have diminished. Fingers crossed!!

Dog suffered neurological damage
By Barbi on Sep 15, 2020
We switched to this food and treats after reading all the wonderful reviews. Our Siberian Husky is currently at the vet after suffering a stroke. Our vet has stated this food has caused neurological damage in some other dogs...I am throwing this away and urge you not to use this brand. If I could give zero stars I would.

Have tried a number of dog foods and finally found the one he likes. Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice. Have been ordering it from Chewy now for over a year. Great price and fast delivery. No more long drives to pet Smart.
