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.

Increased Licking
By Apollo on Oct 23, 2021
We recently switched back to Blue Buffalo for our two adult labs but noticed they both have greatly increased licking and nibbling of their skin. Something about this food and brand doesn't seem to agree with them. We will be switching again.

Sent wrong dog food
By notapplicable on Oct 14, 2021
On your website, what I ordered looks like the blue bag. I didn't see the 'Healthy Weight' in the title. The blue bag is what I've always ordered and wanted. May want to consider differentiating the two bc now my dog is on what appears to be a different dog food.

Love Blue Buffalo
By BlueFood on Sep 29, 2021
Blue Buffalo is a great food! We used it for our last Lab and have now switched over to Blue Buffalo for our other Lab. Because of his sensitive stomach we were feeding him a sensitive stomach food but it didn't help the issues so we switched to Blue Buffalo. So happy we did! He is much better now!!

Good food. Loves it
By Molly on Oct 27, 2021
Had to switch brands when other brand not available anymore. Chewy helped with recommendations and we went with Blue Buffalo. Molly loves it. Just wish it was a larger bite size.

perfect food for a large middle-aged mutt!
By Harley on Jul 11, 2021
We have a middle-aged Doberman mix who was 100 lbs (and obese) when we adopted her! She had no energy with pressure calluses on her elbows and was very sedentary. It took a mere 4 months to get her to ideal weight (20 lbs lighter!) using the adult weight management blue Buffalo food (yellow bag), then we switched to this product (healthy weight). She’s maintained her weight, has much more energy, and her fur is shiny and healthy. At first she had the most TOXIC farts and now has almost no farting :P makes a huge difference!

Not my choice.
By UnhappyCamper on Apr 8, 2021
I am a regular, monthly, auto ship customer. I only bought this because you are constantly out of Royal Canin. Why is this please? My dog has special needs, and my vet recommends Royal Canin, and none of it is to be found for ANY breed.

Tough on the Tummy
By Biscuie on Nov 20, 2020
I had been feeding this to my Labrador for a few months and this gave her awful digestive problems. She constantly had loose runny stools and had trouble passing them. Because of this, I shelled out a bunch of extra money on probiotics and gut health supplements to try and settle her stomach from all of the troubles this food gave her. I did some research and found out that this is not uncommon at all among Blue Buffalo kibble... I really wanted healthy, high quality food for my pup but unfortunately Blue Buffalo is not it.
