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.

Chicken Allergies
By Diamond on Feb 20, 2019
I started using this formula of Fish and Oatmeal after my Boxer showed signs of allergies. The Chicken and Brown Rice formula kept her full of gas, ear infections and red sores between her paws. I saw much improvement in a month. Shipment always comes sooner than expected, fresh and well packed. Thank you Chewy!!! You're the Best!!!

My pit bull eat better
By Shinobuny on Mar 3, 2019
My pit bull terrier used to have diarrhea often and his skin had bumps when we fed him different brand but it stopped since we switched to Blue Buffalo. We are happy we found this.

Great choice
By Picky on Feb 25, 2019
Our dog had allergies but our vet said to not use grain free dog food. So far our dog has not had any problem with this choice of food. She seems to like it better than her old dog food!

GSD with EPI
By Ollie on Jan 17, 2019
It’s hard to find a dog food that my 2 year old female German Shepherd likes and can tolerate. She has EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) and recently changed to this food. She is doing great and really likes it! She is a picky eater.

believer...
By sasster on Dec 27, 2018
I used to be turned off by BB products, however, I tried this product after my regular began to irritate 2 of my 3 big dogs skin. They absolutely love this, and their coats have never looked so good. I order 2 bags at a time because they go out of stock a lot.

Two Big Dogs
By Blucey on Nov 26, 2018
Our Lab and Hound dog mix love their new food! We are hoping this fish blend will help our lab lose some weight as she is about ten pounds overweight right now. I'll give an update in a month or two and give results.
