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.

Best food for our dog
By ShihTzuowner on Jul 24, 2021
This is our second Shih Tzu with eye infections and skin growths. We switched to Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice formula to see if this might be caused by food allergies. It's been about 2 weeks now . Our dogs eyes are clear and skin growths are almost gone . And he loves the food ! Don't know if this is the cure but sure did help.

Appetite Improved
By retgma on Jul 3, 2021
She began turning up her nose to the dry dog food I was feeding her. I bought a small bag of Blue Buffalo Life Protection dry formula with chicken & brown rice for adult dogs and began mixing it with her other food. No more turned up noses now. She is so excited about breakfast and dinner time that she actually licks her bowl clean.

Worst brand for dog and cat dry food
By Jinai on May 31, 2021
I ordered same brand dry food for both my dog and cat. My dog totally refused to eat even one bite. My cat only ate a little, so I thought my cat need time use to it, but after few days, my cat skin had lots of dander, witch never happened before. The worst thing is my cat the back left leg start limp, the Vet couldn’t find out why. I can’t all blame the food. I changed back to old food, my cat stop has dander. His leg still limp a little... anyway This brand is the worst for my pets.

Dogs love it!
By Geofons on Jun 9, 2021
I tried different brands from average price to expensive but my dogs never showed any interest in any of them until now. I switched from Rachel Ray Nutrish to Blue and they eat it up. I always had to add a can of wet to the other brands to get my pets to eat it. They have no problem eating Blue Buffalo just the way it is. A little pricey but worth it.

The best food for your dog!
By Rebecca on Jul 20, 2021
I switched to BB about 5 years ago, used to feed a cheap brand of food until I really started looking at what's in the food. I choose to feed a better quality of food for my pets, they are worth it!

By Janneen on Jul 26, 2021
So convenient and easier than going to the store. Always have alot of large purchases when going to the store. Not having to put large dog food bag in the cart makes it so much easier.

Not good for the dogs belly
By Dani on Jun 27, 2021
Blue Buffalo doesn’t make terrible food but my dog who eats everything had a lot of gas and GI issues with it. So we had to stop the food and change it. But chewy was great about refunding me and I got wellness and everything is good now.

Too rich for my dogs system
By sboyd on Jun 17, 2021
My dog likes the food, but since switching she has a lot of gas and she smells terrible. I think it's to rich for her system. I only tried this because chewy was out of her usual brand. Changing her back today now that her normal brand is back in stock.

Switched to Blue
By Zoey on Jun 22, 2021
On my last order, I switched to Blue on the recommendation of a friend. I intended to order the Senior instead an error was made to the Adult. She appears to transition to Blue okay and, I'll try to get the Senior on my next order.
