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 food is the best! My senior dog started having seizures last year. We have her on meds, but decided to make a change in her diet, as well. Since she has been on Senior Blue, her energy is better, her coat shines, and oddly enough her seizures have lessened. Don't know if the diet change has anything to do with the seizures, but we will keep her on Blue forever.

My senior dogs weren't eating the food I have been getting the for years. When I put it in their bowls they would look at it and go lay down. My daughter researched dog food and BB had the best rating. My dogs LOVE the food and actually can’t wait for breakfast and dinner. They have more energy now and just seem better overall. This will now be our dog food for life.

Just switched our 9 year old Lab to this from the same formula that wasn't senior. Mixed it half old with half new. Only first week but so far she's not thrilled. Purpose was for her to lose a litle weight so eating less will work. since large bag won't throw away -just wait and see. know it's good stuff but maybe she'd like grain free better

Have been feeding my two dogs Blue Buffalo for about 4 years. One of my dogs is about 11-12 years young. She came to me with a dull, dry coat and by feeding her Blue Buffalo, she has a beautiful soft and shiny coat. She has a spring in her step and now giving her the Senior formula will keep that energy level up.

I have a senior dog and she loves this dog food. I use to have to add can dog to her kibble for her to eat it but not with Blue Buffalo dog food. She seems much happier. My family brought their dogs over and their dogs ate my dogs food faster than their own so I have gotten them changed over to your brand Blue Buffalo. Thank you

I had noticed fatty bumps forming on the underbellies if my mini daschunds. BB Senior dog food was recommended as those bumps may be caused by unburned fats my dogs were eating. Within 3 days I noticed a difference in their coats ( softer and shinier), their playful disposition increased, they sleep better, are more well behaved ( a major plus for doxie owners) and they seem to be more satisfied eating the B.B. formula. Oh yes, not only are they a bit trimmer as a result but those fatty bumps are getting smaller!!! I’m sold on B.B. - thank you!

Maddie loves this Blue Buffalo. Her vet said that she was at the age where she needs "senior" because she is getting up in years. Maddie also has to be concerned about the calorie count she consumes each day. She will eat this dry or with a little canned dog food mixed in.

My dogs (two Yorkies) have been eating this brand for over ten years. We keep transitioning them to the different "life stage food options" BB offers as they age. It's been great for them and they are extremely healthy pups!
