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 love it and so far less itching
By Donna on Oct 13, 2020
I have been searching for a food that helps my poor dogs stop itching so much. I can't afford to go to the prescription allergy foods, but so far they have not been itching. They eat it up and seem happy and healthy!

Open Dog Food
By Tori on Oct 18, 2020
This is the 2nd time in the last 2 months my bag of dogfood has come opened and food is all inside the box. Then I get the same order 2 times back to back so I don't understand why my autoship ran twice.

Dog doesn't like it
By smgm1 on Jul 8, 2020
I'm sure this is a good dog food but my Shepherd does not like it. My Vet recommended a fish based food with grain (which is hard to find) due to allergies to beef & chicken. I bought a small bag of Pro Plan for sensitive skin & she liked it much better. So I guess we are switching to that for now. Note: she wasn't on Blue long enough to tell if it helped her allergies.

My dog won't eat it.
By Dogs on Jul 5, 2020
My dog doesn't like this food. I had high hopes when switching to this brand due to the good reviews. I took him to the vet to make that he doesn't have medical issues causing him not to want to eat, and his blood work came back normal. Will search for a different brand.

Cheaper at the store!
By Lisa on Jul 1, 2020
I signed up for auto ship. This was just about $39 on previous orders. This time it was $52! My local store has it for less and offers a $10 off coupon! There goes my authorship account! GOODBYE.

Instantly began to eat this
By Poodlesrus on May 28, 2020
Okay so we’ve tried Alpo, Pedigree, Iams and the boys just had no interest. The moment Blue Buffalo arrived they began following me and jumping over one another with excitement. Measured out their portions and they instantly began eating with no hesitation. Very satisfied.

Huge fan from a picky eater
By lovemydogs on Apr 29, 2020
I have one of the pickiest dogs ever. She LOVES this dog food. She never begs for her dinner, and rarely finishes a bowl (that is taken care of by her dog-partner). I frequently worry about her health due to her finicky eating. I purchased this Blue Buffalo Large Breed Fish and Oatmeal recipe and She LOVES it!!! I mean, begs for meals, checks her bowl regularly for more, LOVESLOVESLOVES it. Please don't discontunue!!

Great food
By Ashley on Apr 8, 2020
First off, chewy.com is the BEST site ever! Also, my dogs love this dog food!! My German Shepherd will eat any brand, but my Labrador will NOT!! Normally he’ll get tired of his food after a while and won’t eat, but he LOVES this brand and the fish and oatmeal flavors! Also, I go through 8 cups of dry food a day because both dogs eat 4 cups a day so as of price wise I would say it’s good! So with two large breed dogs, it could be a little bit on the pricey side for some but it’s worth it! Especially if your pulling picky eaters out of their shells! Will continue buying this brand!! Hopefully forever!

Great for all three of my dogs
By Brandi on Mar 18, 2020
I have three very different dogs. My husky is very picky and I think I have tried at least 10 different foods. If she doesn't like the food she just won't eat. She is also a poop eater so she is missing something in her diet. My Stafford terrier will eat anything (she is the easiest). My German Shepherd has a super sensitive stomach!! Anything other than food, will give her explosive poops. I have finally have found a food for all of them!!! My husky loves it and doesn't eat her poop anymore. My Stafford just loves the food. My German Shepard for the first time has solid poop! My Stafford and German both have knee problems and I love that this food has glucosamine in it to help.
