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.

Switched to Blue Buffalo
By BigRed on Sep 4, 2021
We recently switched to Blue Buffalo from another major brand. Our GSD loves it! She is eight years old, and the weight maintenance dog food from Blue Buffalo meets all of her nutritional needs, and also helps maintain her weight at an appropriate level. We are very pleased with the quality of Blue Buffalo!

He loves it!!
By Romeo on Aug 20, 2021
Our 18 year old schnauzer absolutely loves this food. I mixed it in with his old food like they suggested to help switch him over. He now he picks all his old food out of his bowl and eats just this... I'm glad we found something he loves. He is excited to eat. He prances around his bowl. I find it expensive. But I believe it is worth it.

Great Dog food
By RORO on Jul 14, 2021
As I write this post I am sad, We ordered this food for our two senior dogs in hope is it would be a good transition from Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream which both dogs had been on for over 8 years. My big guy(English bulldog) passed away Monday I received this bag of food Friday. I ordered the 30 pound bags having a 65 pound Bulldog and a 9 pound Chihuahua. They both loved there first try of this chicken and brown rice. Now I guess my chihuahua is all set on food for a while, he seems to really like it.

Great food
By Janis0312 on Sep 18, 2021
I got this food for a recent senior Shepard mix rescue. He was underweight and had rough course hair. He enjoys this food and has gained weight and his hair is much softer and healthier.

Disappointed
By Tarzan on Aug 4, 2021
I bought this product because it's a healthier choice, but my dog doesn't like it. So for me it's not worth the price if my dog won't eat it. Plus for me the smell of it isn't pleasant and doesn't look appealing. I was disappointed.

Perfect for the old girl
By Diane on Jun 29, 2021
Thank you Chewy for making it so easy to find and receive the food that our old lab needs. The vet just recommended senior dog food. The pet store said that every brand had senior food and provided no help. Chewy’s search and range of senior foods made it easy, and delivered quickly without charge. The old girl is very happy with her new food. I will be doing regular orders!

Great food
By corgimom14 on Jul 17, 2021
I have a seven-year-old lab mix and a 14 year old Corgi and they both love this food. With the 14 year old we play food Jenga a lot but she loves this food with toppers from the honest kitchen, in particular the salmon and turkey. Win, win. Chewy’s the best!!

Blue for good
By Maryl on Jun 26, 2021
We started our peekapoo on Blue but for some reason decided to try something else, at first she liked it but quickly lost interest and stopped eating. Recently we came back to Blue and she is eating happily again.
