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.

They Ate It!
By NoraH on Nov 7, 2021
I allowed both of my small, mixed breed dogs to develop the bad habit of snacking on hotdogs and cheese and treats to the point that they stopped eating dog food at all! Even when I stopped the bad stuff, they wouldn’t go back to dog food. I tried several kinds of canned and dry food with little success. Today Chewy dropped off the Blue Buffalo and BAM, they both ate it! So relieved!

My dogs love it
By bkydbirder on Nov 26, 2021
When our other food was discontinued we had to switch. After trying a couple of others which did not go over well with our "kids". I tried this. This seems to be the ticket. They eat it and seem to like it. It also appears to be a healthy dry food. I'm hoping this continues to be a food that our dogs continue to like!!!

seems to be working
By CeeJayCoo on Oct 8, 2021
Right now I am mixing new Blue with previous dry kibble and she seems to be eating and enjoying her food better. Still looks for leftovers however. Guess that goes back to the days when I was actually "cooking" meals weekly! Happily that is only a memory now. Still have a bit of older kibble left so will have a better picture when it is only Blue in her feed bowl. But I am optimistic! Pricier but if she eats and enjoys eating, it's worth the extra $$. PS: she is a 2YO 11+ lb Maltipoo

HattieThe Cocker Loves It!
By HattieGabrielMom on Nov 12, 2021
Our girl Hattie has lost quite a few teeth due-to gum disease. I wanted a dry food that was small so she could eat it. This fits the bill and she gobbles it up. So if you want a small kibble this is our choice.

Wonderful!
By Dachshundfav on Nov 23, 2021
Chewy is terrific with how fast they ship, and they pack things so well that everything is in good shape upon arrival. We recently started the auto ship and so glad we did.

Continuing the food the previous owner used
By CarefulShopper on Sep 26, 2021
It's just OK. I am continuing the food the previous owner used. Our dog does not seem much interested. It is really hard to coax him to eat. There is a 7-week wait for a new patient appointment with the vet. As soon as we have our first appointment with the vet, I will ask what food she recommends and consider making a change.

Good base for adding wet food.
By Jazz on Nov 16, 2021
Decided to switch temporarily from grain-free to see whether my dogs will tolerate the kibble. So far, it seems to go down OK. Kibble size is good for small dogs.

My picky dog loves it
By Manci on Sep 19, 2021
My little 6# rat terrier dachsund mix is very picky. I make chicken and rice for her but also have this dry food available. She carries a mouthful of it to the living room from the kitchen and eats all but the small dark pieces. Im wondering whats in those dark pieces that she doesn't like? Cranberries?

Floof wasn’t interested
By Paige on Oct 29, 2021
I’m not speaking to the quality of Blue Buffalo, but my Pomeranian wasn’t interested and wasn’t eating a lot. He’s not a picky eater, so I switched him to another brand.
