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.

Danes don’t do peas...
By Janet on Jan 20, 2019
I have three dog and two of them love this product but my Great Dane has a hard time switching over. She still leaves all the peas in her bowl; I have no idea how a Dane can eat the food and NOT even accidentally eat the tiny dehydrated peas!! LOL! My two older dogs are very happy chowing down on this product with no trouble switching over and that’s a huge compliment.

Quality dog kibble
By lilylovesfood on Jan 15, 2019
I have a yellow lab and, while she will eat just about anything, she devours this food with particular enthusiasm. When we dog-sit friends' dogs, they want her food over theirs! The "healthy weight" formula is great for her; she was consistently a little chubby on the regular adult food but with this formula she has stayed trim and fit.

my dog LOVES IT
By Queeniesmom on Feb 22, 2019
My dog has been having this for several years. it is the ONLY one she has scoffed down. She does not like the fish & rice and only tolerates the lamb. so she gets this and she loves it.

Blue Healthy Weight
By Bear on Feb 15, 2019
My delivery was fantastic! Although, Bear doesn't like his food this time as much as last time. I bought him the Healthy Weight version of Blue Large Breed. He likes the regular formula much better.

Excellent choice!
By Nettie on Dec 30, 2018
We have a 12 year old Airedale terrier and a 2 year old standard poodle, both very big boys and both in need of some help in the weight dept. We just changed from Science Diet Sensitive Skin & Stomach to Blue Buffalo Adult Large Breed formula. Neither have had any issues with the change and both love the food. Great product!

Big bites for bigger faces
By mamafarron on Oct 21, 2018
Gunner is some sort of shepherd, which means he has a bigger face and a longer muzzle. He's currently 68lbs, so I figured he could benefit from a large breed version of the healthy weight formula he was on. There are days he readily eats it other days he's a little pickier but he'll eventually eat it. Something we'll keep buying, he's been able to maintain his current weight for the time being. In a month he was able to lose near 5lbs on this diet. We only have 4.5lbs left to go!

Tasty and less fat
By GilaMonster on Oct 15, 2018
My dog took to this food immediately and although she was not seriously overweight in the two weeks she has been eating it (with great gusto!) there has been a definitely slimming in her waist. The food has a high protein percentage but a lower fat content than the previous good quality food we were feeding her. Very happy with the results.

Our dogs really enjoy 'BLUE' food! I don't have to top it off with moist tidbits to get them to gobble it up.
