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.

As always, the service at Chewy.com is great and the shipping speedy. I am in the process of switching food from Fromm to Blue Buffalo and so far so good. My black lab really likes the Blue Buffalo.

My dog, ( a mixed breed 85 lb. rescue hates all dry food ,) have to add meat to get him to eat or out wait him a few days which my wife won`t allow. From my observation the Blue B is good quality & healthy.
