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.

This is great dog food for healthy animals... The Blue Health Bars that I purchase from Chewey are also wonderful for dogs... I have 4 full time furbabies and many times have more due to foster animals. The last order I received from Chewey will probably be the last one forever. The Blue Buffalo dog food bag was torn...I used duck tape to save what was left. Also I ordered 6 bags of Blue Health Bars... every single bag had been crushed... I was only able to use about 1/2 of each bag... it was good while it lasted Chewey, but we must break-up over this last order.

I usually love chewy but I just received this box yesterday and am very disappointed. Obviously when I opened the package there was dog food everywhere. Literally 1/8 of the bag was spilled in the box. Not to mention that I had planned on sitting it in my closet as we were not ready to open the bag for a couple of weeks but now I have to figure out some way to store this. Disappointed as this tear was obviously done at the warehouse because the box was in great condition.

My dog is having problems with a yeast infection in his ears. The vet said, it could be his food. So he put him on ear drops and I'm trying Blue Buffalo to see if it clears up. He also received a allergy shot. So far they are getting better. The Blue Buffalo sits in his dish all day, if I wait him out he will eat it. When I first put it out he will smell it and go lay down... Trying to find something he will eat when I first put it out in the morning to get him on a schedule. EAT, BATHROOM, then NAP!

Glossy coat, firm stools, happy healthy dog that the vet adores = happy me. 30 lbs dog maintains healthy weight by eating 3/4 cup serving 2x daily. My dog has no problem with grains and no allergies at all, so normal healthy weight diet does just great for her. 1.5 cups a day means a 30 lb bag lasts a long time, pretty $ efficient.

My pack of 4, ranging from a Chiweenie to a German shepherd/Akita mix, love this food! I was having a hard time finding one that they liked and we had gone through all of the earth born flavors. Decided we'd try this Blue Buffalo and they love it! I think it smells, but they just think it's the best thing in the whole world.

We have 2 large dogs. It is a major hassle to lug large bags of dog food into the cart, into the car, into the house, etc. I price checked our dog food on Chewy and it was cheaper to have it delivered to our house than to go buy it ourselves at the store. Win-win for us! The food arrived promptly and was exactly what we buy locally. I highly recommend ordering your dog food from Chewy to save you the hassle!

I've been feeding my dogs this for at least four years now. My Black Lab will eat just about anything I put down, but my Pom is a different story. She will eat this, but only if I mix in a touch of wet food with it. They both seem to like it.

I'm feeding this is my old pug. She seems to love it. When I switched her to blue she gained her weight back. She looked scary skinny but with blue she started getting what she needed and got health. Now she is back over weight so we are trying the weight help one.

My dog seems to enjoy Blue Buffalo much more then she disliked Taste of the Wild. The venison and buffalo taste of Taste of the Wild appeared to be too overpowering.Blue Buffalo with Chicken and rice is the perfect taste for my dog!

The shelter told my family to buy me Blue Buffalo back in 2012 at my adoption, and I've been enjoying it ever since. This is the 1st bag of Healthy Weight I've tried, and, you know, it's not bad. And good for my girlish figure.
