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.

I love Blue Buffalo, I believe it is the best I can give my older GSD's. Blue is a great brand I would recommend to anyone. What I like even better is not having to drive 20 miles to a specialty dog food store to get it. I ordered on Friday of a holiday weekend and expected the two days after the Monday holiday to be Tuesday and Wednesday, receiving on Thursday. What a pleasant surprise to get it on Wednesday. No more picking up 40 pound bags putting them in the car only to have to lug them back out when I got home. They were at my front door! And $9.00 cheaper per bag than locally.

I absolutely love chewy. Great company with amazibg values and BIG heart. I ordered dog food for my dog after 5 months I realized my dog did not like his food. Called chewy because I had an 30oz unopen bag. Long story short They told me to donate the bag to a rescue or Humane Society. Then sent me a different bag of dog food for my dog free of charge. I could Not believe it. I will make sure I spread the news and recommend chewy to everybody I know who has a pet thank you for caring more about your customers and animals than you do the money.

Me and 2 other ppl I know all got Saint Bernard puppies from the same litter. They feed theirs just whatever. Mine has been on Blue Buffalo since the day I got her. She's 15 months old now and weighs 123 lbs. Her coat is thick and healthy and she LOVES the food! The other 2 dogs look no where near as beautiful and healthy as she does. Daylight and dark. I'd never change my babies food! Also, I've never ordered and not received it in 2 days! I love Blue Buffalo and Chewy!

Transitioning from puppy food to dog food, I needed to change brands as chewy will no longer be carrying our brand and no store carries it in our area. I read the reviews and the ingredients of many brands. We have purchased blue buffalo snacks so this was an obvious choice. She liked it so much she would pick out the blue buffalo and leave the puppy food during the transition phase She loves it has less gastric upset. If the dog is happy the mommy is happy.

Went from royal canin puppy lab, to royal canin regular, that was way too big of bits, as he tends to swallow whole, then tried blue wilderness salmon formula, and the bits were tiny, and gave runny stools. So this seems to be a good size kibble, that he actually chews, for the most part. Stools look good, and might be because this is not grain free, as I believe some grain is good to a point. Believe that lot of todays food is fad food, and you just need to find one that works well, that produces good results, and that your pal likes. It's all about our pals.

I'm in the process of changing my Golden's diet to Blue Buffalo and he is still eating about 50/50 mix with his previous food. The transition has been seamless, he seems to really like Blue, his stools are "good," and his skin and coat seem to be slightly improving. Like the added support for joint and bone health in a large breed.

First food that our 15 month old golden doodle will eat enthusiastically. However, after 1 week he figured out he preferred the large kibble to the small kibble which is the one full of vitamins and oils. Major problems come with foods with different kibble. Never had a dog that wouldn't spit food out all over the floor.

Hi I'm Stanford, I am a 8 year old Blond Lab/Great Pyrenees Mix and weigh 62 pounds. I loved the Blue Buffalo food, and it was my first time for Chewy.com. I had to wait until my owner left the house to log on and send you this review. Try the treats as well, especially the Bone Marrow ones!

This is the only food my dog will eat! I have a 95 lb American Bulldog/Boxer mix. He was a rescue from another state and contracted hookworm at only 4 months old. After a brat diet for weeks, it was difficult to get him to eat. This product was the winner!! Best service ever with chewy.com!
