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.

My GSD loves this food
By Cait on Sep 10, 2021
I recently switched my 6 year old GSD to this food after a recent diagnosis earlier this year of degenerative myelopathy in its beginning stage. I wanted to make sure my Bear was getting any and all nutrients he needed now that he’s getting older and needs them even more now. I found that the food I had him on just wasn’t cutting it anymore and didn’t offer the same healthy ingredients this brand does. He loves this food and it works well for him.

Best decision for our senior
By Jennifer on Aug 8, 2021
We were on Kirkland Healthy Weight Adult since our 8yr old Golden Retriever weighs 96 lbs. It seemed an okay food for him until we tried Blue. Blue looks and smells like real chicken. He’s noticeably more excited and satisfied with his meals. We were transitioning to Blue before he had his surgery for tooth and mass extraction. And while he is normally picky with medicine, we didn’t need to trick him to eat Blue with his pain meds. He seem to recover well. And he is making high quality poop with this! LOL. I should not have waited long before we transitioned him. It is more expensive, yes; but is also seems to be the best decision we’ve made so far for our senior. He will need the best nutrition We were on Kirkland Healthy Weight Adult since our 8yr old Golden Retriever weighs 96 lbs. It seemed an okay food for him until we tried Blue.

great ingredients
By Lani on Jul 9, 2021
all of my dogs have been on blue buffalo for many years. it speaks for its self when the vets tell me that my dogs look great and are very healthy. then when I tell them what I feed them I tell them Bull Buffalo then they smile and say great choice! while people think it's to expensive it isn't compared to vet bills.

Still transitioning
By Bigpuppy on Jun 1, 2021
B.B is a good brand, and we are trying to get some weight off one of our pup's, so the summer heat doesn't increase some skin issues we're trying to solve with him. This food meets the majority of requirements we're trying to achieve to accomplish the weight lose, body kooling factor, and still meet the nutriental needs of our dogs. At this point neither is thrilled with it, but we're still combining the old and new. Hopefully when we're done they will eat it better.

Loved this for years
By TheTurquoiseCat on Jun 21, 2021
This food has been my labradane's everyday food for many years. He's loved it, but maybe too much? So now I'm going to try him on BB LPF Healthy Weight to see if he can shed about 10-15 pounds! He's a chunk at 95 lbs and turning 10yo in a few months!

Doctor encouragement
By Gimmiejam on May 7, 2021
Our Vet asked what we feed our dogs. Asked why he said all our girls are in top shape including their coats so shiny. Even our 14 year old pit. I Highly recommend to all doggie parents.

Way more exciting than the other brand
By Pepper on Mar 14, 2021
Our dog *loves* this dog food. We got her as a rescue and were feeding her a much cheaper brand because that's what she was used to in the shelter but she wouldn't eat it unless we also mixed in wet food. Man, day 1 with the weaning to this food and she was losing her mind over the smell. She gets so excited at breakfast and dinner. No wet food required, night and day difference! Quite honestly, for dog food, it smells pretty good to me too.
