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 have been a puchaser of Blue Buffalo for a long time, fed it to my last 2 doggies, and now the new 2. My 2 have been dealing with some allergy issues, so I am trying out switching proteins, from Chicken to fish. I did not have a lot of the old food, so didn't "phase this in" like I normally would, but they did not seem to have any issues. Thanks Chewy!

My dogs have always loved Blue Buffalo food, but this one was not a favorite. The first few days they would just sniff and walk away. Now they are taking little nibbles here and there but not wolfing it down like they normally do.

I've gone through most of the flavors with my pets. Every few months we change out to a different one and this is as good as they come. Dogs continue to devour their bowls and their health is in good shape. Top notch brand, will only use/recommend blue buffalo!

She is a Lab/Pit mix. Skin and hair/fur were always very dry. Hair everywhere. Since she's been eating this food, skin has greatly improved and loose hair has decreased. I've never had a problem with this heavy bag being shipped since I started ordering from Chewy, until this last time and the bag was busted on the inside of the box, which was quite the mess to clean up. Assuming the carrier got a little too rough tossing it around possibly.

My dogs love Blue Buffalo; anything from dry, canned, and treats. Just recieved this past delivery that had a hole in the bag of dry food. Seems like no one inspected it before shipping it out.

My dogs love Blue Buffalo. The food is high quality and satisfying for each of my three dogs. I can see each of their coats are shinier. I would recommend this product.
