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.

This dof food has little hard bits in it; i can only assume is freeze dried fruit. My dogs spit them out or they get lodge between their teeth. To get them to eat it i have to put blue can dog food mixed in. Althiugh this is a heslthy food; for seniors this is a trying foid fof them to eat. The one dog i especially wanted this food for is leaving a large portion in his bowl. So ill look for another one they can eat hsppily

Speciality dog foods are expensive and I don't have the funds to go through didn't brands until I find the dog food he'll eat. Blue Buffalo was my second selection. More pricey, but if he'll eat it, I will get it for him. I really appreciate Chewy working with me on this decision. Their staff is quite knowledgeable about the products they sell.

I have had my mini Aussie Shepherds on this food since I got them from the breeder. That is what they recommended so I stuck with it. They are 4 and 6 years of age now so we are giving them the senior now. I would highly recommend this to each and every breed. No fillers.. No junk. Just awesome food and nutrition for my boys !! :-)

Our rescue terrier mix is eating healthy senior food now by me feeding her Blue Buffalo. She'll be 7 in Oct and can almost out run any critter in our yard. The rabbits scatter under the fence and the squirrels up trees.

I've ordered from you twice so far and everything has been outstanding. The customer service, the ease of ordering online, the 1st rate products, the quality of the products i've ordered and best of all the cost savings. My dogs love the senior formula as much as the regular

I placed a trial order and was very pleased. It arrived as scheduled, in good shape, and with the free shipping, it saved me a few dollars. I will definitely use Chewy.com again.

Blue Buffalo with Life Protection is a great product. My Corgi has a sensitive stomach and the small size pieces are perfect for her. Also fit great in her large Kong that dispenses food.

I have two large dogs and I they love this Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula. I recently started upgrading the food products I feed my dogs. Before I moved over to Blue Buffalo I was buying dog food off the shelf at my local grocer. I can honestly say since moving over to Blue Buffalo I can honestly see a change in both the appearance with soft silky fur and energy.
