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.

Is this the small bites?
Answer by ChewyNov 30, 2017
The Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Breed Adult Fish & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food has small bites.

Is blue buffalo life protection formula adult fish & brown rice recipe dry dog food grain free?
Answer by ChewyDec 27, 2018
This food is not grain free.

Is the fish in the Life Protection Formula Fish and Brown Rice farm raised?
Answer by ChewySep 03, 2018
Blue Buffalo utilizes both farms raised and ocean-caught fish in their products. They will use framed raised fish during times when the wild fish population has to regrow.

My 1 year old pup has always eaten Blue chicken and brown rice. I wanted to try the fish or lamb so is that bad to change?
Answer by ChewyAug 12, 2018
When changing formulas always transition your pet to avoid gastrointestinal upset. Start by mixing 25% of BLUE with your dog’s old food, and gradually increase the proportion of BLUE over the next 14 days.

Blue Buffalo

I really don’t know what to say. This is the pickiest dog I have ever had when it comes to food. He bulks at everything and I have tried many different dog foods and added people food also just to get him to eat. Unfortunately, he has bulked at this food also. I did add a little oil on his food which was ok a couple of times. Once he actually ate it dry. He wouldn’t touch it yesterday so today I added a little wet food which he usually doesn’t like. He went over to his bowl, sniffed and walked away. I called him back, forced a little into his mouth and then he ate the entire bowl with the two mixed together. This really doesn’t mean anything because he’s done that before. I believe this is a good dog food and we will keep feeding it to him. He is approximately nine years old, a rescue, we have had him a little over seven years and as wonderful as he is he is a pain to feed.

Loves his food!

I've been feeding my lab mix Blue Buffalo life protection formula - chicken and rice formula for several years. He's the kind of dog who always seems starving and wolfs down his food. Recently we switched the flavor thinking a little variety could be a good thing. We switched to the same brand, but he fish & brown rice. He literally jumped up and down the first time we gave it to him. Probably should have done it sooner! Anyway, he loves it, and he seems to be very healthy eating this brand. 8 years old, shiny coat, energetic, no problems. I recommend!

HEALTHY FOOD FOR OUR DOG

Our girl had high protein in her last blood work. We switched her to the fish and brown rice formula and she eats it so well and has no problem with protein any longer. Great!

Incredible Difference

I’ve always fed my dog quality kibble, but would steer clear of Blue because of their recalls in the past. My friend encouraged me to give them a try after they changed several of their formulas and their company seemed to be back on track. I’m so glad I did. My dog is on his third bag of Blue now and his coat has never been healthier in his 6 years. He had a patch of dry skin on his nose for over a year that I have been treating with balm for months, this spot healed within weeks of eating Blue! In the past I always fed Victor or Diamond, will definitely be sticking to Blue from now on!

Great product

My dog does very well on Blue Buffalo. He loves the taste and it doesn't make him smell like the other lower quality brands.

Dogs Will not Eat This

I ordered this since the Pro Plan Salmon for sensitive skin was getting more expensive & hard to find in stock. Neither my dog nor my dogs would eat any.

Chewy is awesome

My 3 dogs have tried many brands and most if not all of the Blue Buffalo did the best in regards to their skin allergies and digestive issues.

Lab loves this food

Recently transitioned to Blue Buffalo after the food we purchased for many years changed their recipe. Our Lab absolutely loves this food. We are hoping to keep feeding her this premium/holistic food for her lifetime. Thank you Blue Buffalo for quality. Thank you to Chewy for excellent customer service
