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.

Picky eaters love this stuff!
By camster on Oct 10, 2020
My dog hasn't liked any of the food that is age/health appropriate for her since she became an adult, received this morning and gave it a shot for her breakfast, she ate it all within a few minutes! Absolutely amazed. Excited to see what it does for her health too!

Changing food
By Cindy on Oct 9, 2020
So far I am impressed. My golden has been eating his food as soon as I put it down for him. Haven’t noticed him eating grass anymore (something he was doing all the time). So far it’s been great for him wish I would have changed sooner

Our dog threw up...
By Amanda on Oct 10, 2020
Our dog loves the taste of this food, but unfortunately she throws up each time she eats it. We just switched her to it so we've been mixing in some of her old food, but still to no avail. I will try it a few more days but we think we'll be switching her to something else.

My babies love Blue!
By Vic1978 on Sep 12, 2020
Both my cat and dog love Blue! When we adopted them, both were being fed Purina. We made the switch to Blue at the recommendation of a friend, and have never looked back. The difference in Pearl’s coat (lab/bulldog mix) was very noticeable. She has sensitive skin and a sensitive stomach and this food helps keep both in balance. My Norwegian Forest kitty, Ruby Dee, is a VERY picky eater and she loves the Blue Salmon cat food. Yes, it’s a slightly hefty bill when we have to buy both bags at the same time, but it’s worth it to see both of our babies living their best lives and enjoying their food!

Dogs love it
By CatWhisperer on Aug 23, 2020
This is my dogs favorite dry food . I buy the smaller size because it has a ziplock seal to keep the food fresh . I avoid larger bags to ensure the food is fresh and doesn’t go stale over several weeks of feeding .

The Best on the Market
By Stella on Sep 21, 2020
Best dog food on the market. Tried all the others. This is the only stuff that allows my dog a normal poop. No more cow patties. Also she loves it! Costco has the 38lb bag. Chewy should get that!

Switching to Blue!
By Winegirl2000 on Sep 7, 2020
My dogs seem to really like Pro Plan. However, one has skin allergies so I get him Salmon. The other is not a huge fish fan, so I get her Lamb. I pretty much mix the two but it means I have to buy one of each. Blue has it all and they both love it. I'm switching and we'll see how it goes!

Do NOT buy Blue Buffalo for your pats!!!
By Randi on Oct 11, 2020
Blue Buffalo is NOT good for your pets! Please please look into this brand. There are so many horror stories of dogs and cats too dying or getting so sick it’s costs you a fortune. PLEASE look into the brand.
