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.

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 DMTF on Nov 9, 2021
This is great food I have wondered away from time to time because my dog has sensitive skin and allergies but always come back to this! Chewy has amazing Customer Service. I will never buy my food anywhere but from Chewy.

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.

My Doberman Pinscher Does Very Well on This Kibble!
By RomeoReviewsKibble on Oct 4, 2021
Romeo gives this food a High-Five! I do too because I know it contains added benefits large breeds (i. e., Glucosamine, Chondroitin, L-Carnitine, and Calcium) and the kibble size is a little bit bigger.

Great Dog Food
By NayNay on Oct 8, 2021

Uuhhggggggggg
By Gmarie on Sep 20, 2021
Only purchased because eukanuba is sold out - helped her lose weight because she will not eat! Very unusual for her. We have to add something to it so she’ll eat now

2 thumbs up
By Kasnickity on Sep 22, 2021
My dogs love it. But then again they're big and usually eat anything. However, I like Blue because its a food without all the junk.
