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.

Blue Buffalo "THE BEST"
By StevezChelle15 on Sep 16, 2020
We ALWAYS get our dogfood,treats, and vitamins from Chewey! Our dogs are 9, 7, 2. We usually NEVER have fleas since we have moved to our new home 3 yrs ago and this year is the first. We used advantix and it was like boom gone! We liked 2 weeks before our normal shipment of supplies so we bought a little bag of Hills Science Diet with just a tiny difference in what kind we normally get from Chewey! They started digging themselves everywhere to the point they kept us up at night! We have switched brands now to Blue Buffalo Life Prot. and they absolutely love this brand, this is the same brand we use for our treats as well and I just can't say enough good things about this brand!

Wow, my Shih Tzu loves it!!
By Tmamapooh on Sep 25, 2020
I mixed it half-and-half like the instructions said with her old food. I gave it to her and she immediately picked out the new pieces of food and refused to eat her old dog food. She didn’t walk away from her dish until she was done eating every bit of the new food. She’s always been a grazer. She’d eat some, walk away and come back later and eat a little more.

Picking and Packing
By Vonn on Sep 6, 2020
I am not one to do reviews usually, but found it necessary today. Just Got my delivery today. They packaged all 4 bags in one box, unless I am he man that is a lot of weight for one person to lift. Yes I opened the box and pulled out each bag out one by one. 2 bags per box I find is a good weight. Secondly one of the bags had cut marks on the side and main side of the bag. Dog food was coming out bag. I had to put tape on the cuts to keep the dog food in. I do love chewy and getting my dogs food delivered at my home. This is the first time I can say I have had a problem. This service is excellent and will keep using. Thanks.

Cost when Up but Volume went Down
By David on Sep 4, 2020
Our previous delivery April 14, 2020 cost was $59.98 and was the normal volume of dog food in the two bags. Our last delivery July 10, 2020 cost was $66.16 and each of the two bags was 3-4 Cups SHORT in dog food. Why? I contacted the manufacturer. They are responsible for the shortage, Chewy needs to explain why the same dog food we have been getting for three years jumped in price without notifying the customer.

Ripped bag, dog food spilled
By TuckersMom on Oct 1, 2020
The food itself is fine. But we received our shipment today and there is a 3 in rip in the top of the bag--maybe from a box cutter. Food spilled into the shipping box.

Foxy likes this
By Foxy on Aug 4, 2020
Foxy is tolerating this food well with no stomach issues. The first premium food I tried was a grainfree kibble that she could not handle. She would get us up at 3 or 4 am and want to eat grass. Thankfully, we have not had that since changing her food to this brand. A happy dog makes for happy parents.
