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.

Tough on the Tummy
By Biscuit 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.

Wish my dog liked it
By Amber on Dec 31, 2020
My dog picks out the bugger pieces and spreads the small dark brown pieces all around the house. At first I thought our bunny had been pooping everywhere, but realized it was her dog food. Just not for our pup

TERRIBLE UNHEALTHY FOOD
By getbackjojo on Sep 3, 2020
My Airedale Terrier had been on BB since 6 months. She kept having soft , yellow stools that I attributed to tapeworm from feral cat with fleas at neighbors. Then as she became 2 it seemed treats were the problem , by 3 yrs I attributed soft yellow stools to eating things of the floor at Lowe’s , HD etc during walks. Then stools were mucous, running spraying across lawn. Vet said it might be BB, they have a lot of dogs getting sick from it & dying too. Since they were bought by Gen Mills I imagine they add filler & junk .i changed brands & she is better. So glad she didnt get even more seriously ill from it.

Great for weight loss/management
By weightloss22 on Aug 29, 2020
I switched my dog about 9 months ago to gain a higher fiber diet and to help him lose weight. He has lost 7 lbs already and hoping to take another 7 or so off. The recommended servings on the bag, however, is pretty high. I give my 87lbs, 9 year old hound mix 1 cup at breakfast and 1 cup at dinner with a little wet food in each. Feed your dog based on their own body, not what the manufacturer recommends.

"A Tale Wagging Diet"
By cleo on Aug 5, 2020
My overweight dog had to go on a diet, 10 pounds over weight. I wasn't sure about changing her food, Blue Buffalo "Salmon" she really likes this food. I Switched to Blue Buffalo "Chicken," weight management and she seems to enjoy this even more. I think as long as I follow the instructions on how much to feed her every day, she will be back to a more normal weight and then be able to maintain it. Little bit concerned about grain free dog food, but she has an allergy to grain, makes her scratchy and gassy.

Changing food
By Elliot on Sep 17, 2020
Changing my Great Dane’s food from grain free. Mixed the old food with the Blue for the transition. He likes it so much, he’s picking the pieces of the Blue food out of the mix. I’m sure he’ll love it when he gets straight Blue.

Works Well and Taste Approved!
By Blue on Aug 8, 2020
The Yellow Lab we adopted needed to lose some weight. We liked that this product had glucosamine for healthy joints as she is playful and wanted that support. We followed instructions for weight loss and she has lost weight at a healthy pace, to nearly her goal weight. She is looking good and likes the taste. Love the Auto Ship so the large bags are delivered to the front door.

Dogs Love it
By Jacqueline on Aug 25, 2020
I usually combine the two foods so they have variety but was in a hurry so just gave them both a cup of this the first time. They ate it without hesitation and no stopping....they never eat everything at once. The cats even like it, I can't keep them away from the dog bow when its out.
