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.

We have two very picky Dachshunds when it comes to their food. This is the first time we have given them this particular dry food and they liked it right away. Our previous food might sit in their bowl for a few days but they munch on this Blue Ribbon until it is gone, so we are very happy about that, as it keeps us from giving them so many treats in between feedings. Would definitely recommend!

I have a 2year old Pom chi that I adopted when we got him he was overweight and did not like dog food! Apparently his last mom gave him table food!!! We tried everything Royal Canaan and science diet he would not eat either!!! Until we tried this he loves it and since is at a normal healthy weight I can’t say enough about this food amazing!!!!

My dog is one of those small little dogs who kind of picks at her food, and only eats it when she sees she's not going to get anything else. My dog actually enjoys this food and eats The Whole Bowl, which is good as I'm trying to get her to gain weight. She's barely 5 lbs. Also her bowel movements are routine and easier for her.

Bruno, my 8lb Toy Fox Terrier/Chihuahua actually eats this food. I had him on 'nulo' for about a week and I noticed he wasn't really eating. He would only eat when he was starving. He was acting weird too and thought it might have been the food. So I thought I'd give this one a try and when I received this I opened it up and gave him a little bit and he ate it! He's eating regularly now.

I have a yorkie poo and jack poo and they are little dogs with big stomachs and a picky palate. They love Blue Buffalo and this one seems to be the one of preference for them. They love the chicken & brown rice blend most of all. This is the staple dry dog food that I bug. I also get them Nature's Recipe wet dog food to mix in and sometimes I get the organic pumpkin and mix that in. These little girls love all of these food items. Thought I would share this with you in case it may give you some ideas for your furry friends. All of these items I buy from Chewy.

I am pleasantly surprised at how much they seem to really like this dog food. They are waiting for me to set their plate of food down so that they can "dig in" to the food. I didn't have that reaction with their other brand so I'm glad that I did some research and changed to BB.

My cousin bought this for her dogs and they loved it. I have picky dogs. They think the foods great as long as I give it to them as a treat, out of my hand. But to eat as “dog food” they think it’s like all others. It is a great product.

I would give this a 5 star. First day it was gone in 5 minutes. My dogs get dry dog food during day and boiled chicken and rice or no sugar sweet potatoes at night. They loved this immediately. Chewy has quick delivery and great products! What a convenience of deliver right to your door!

My Ziva loves her food. She will also eat the Lamb & brown rice but won't eat the Fish one. I also use the Blue Buffalo canned foods as toppers. The only question I have is why they add garlic as they have said dogs should not have onions and garlic.

My Kitira is a 3 year old Pomeranian. She came to us a little over a year ago and had some stomach issues. I have tried two different name brands before Blue Buffalo but still her bad days of loose stools were frequent. She not only loves to eat now but we have no issues what so ever anymore.
