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 dogs won’t touch it
By Unhappy on Dec 14, 2021
My dogs really don’t like this food. It’s really expensive and recommended by my vet. I really wish I would have been notified prior to my auto ship because Ive only had it delivered once and was not expecting this one. My fault, I know. But I have no idea what I’m going to do with this giant bag of food that my dogs won’t eat.

Pheebe approved
By Pheeebe on Dec 31, 2021
Pheebe, our rescued mixed breed, was on the regular blue bag puppy formula but she just turned one and was 60 lbs, so we switched her to this style. The tradition was super easy, she seems to like it, and her digestion system seems to like it too.

Good puppy food
By Laura on Dec 12, 2021
My GSD puppy is almost a year and has been on this as long as I’ve had him. He likes it fine, our geriatric dog thinks it’s the best treat when he can steal some. The puppy has grown great and was healthy at his last vet appointment a week ago. We’ll be switching to the adult version of the same food soon

Dog likes it but delivery was messy
By Kelly on Dec 5, 2021
My Great Dane mix really enjoys this food, so I ordered 2 bags. They came together in 1 box which caused one of the bags to break open. We still used the food but I recommend only ordering 1 bag at a time. Shipping is usually 2-3 days lately so stick with 1 bag at a time!

Our Dogs Gobble up This Food!
By finyin on Nov 9, 2021
We give measured amounts to each dog...no overweight problems and they have tons of energy for outside activities. Their double coats are soft (one is) and less textured (the second one) and I attribute this to Blue products. After I the nutritional content passes my review of a food product for the dogs, they can enjoy it!

Thx Chewy for shipping the smaller bag out to our dog awhile on vacation
By Journey on Oct 31, 2021
Ran low on the food we brought with us and nobody sells the smaller bag in this area for large breed. The full size bag was shipping to our home in a matter of weeks so we didn't want to purchase the 35 lb on extended vacation. We were so happy to ship the 15 lb bag size to our beach address and within 4 days receive the bag we needed before Journey ran out. Thx Chewy !

Good Product, Bad Delivery
By Wubba on Oct 14, 2021
The dog food seems to be fine. We're transitioning from puppy to dog food. Dog seems to like it just fine, no adverse reactions to date. Delivery was over a week late........and package was badly damaged. Our confidence in Chewy delivery is greatly diminished. We've been using Chewy exclusively for over a year....... and historically have been very happy with their products, services, and delivery. I hope this is not their new norm.....or we WILL be going elsewhere

Great food
By JasmineM on Dec 12, 2021
We switched our Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and Cane Corso to this brand from Diamond. They seem to love it. We couldn't ask for more than to have happy and healthy dogs.
