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.

Chunky butt loves it....
By Suzanne on May 11, 2020
I have a 5 year old 120lb Great Dane/ Catahoula mix and and a 30lb 8 year old standard long haired Dachshund who both clean their bowl with this dog food. Thought it couldn’t hurt to switch to a weight formula since both of mine are getting up in years and probably both at a “healthy” weight ha ha. The switch was easy and they tolerate it well no stomach upset and I think it has even helped their stools they go twice a day now. I’ve always loved Blue Buffalo.

NOT seeing any weight loss
By Cotto on May 11, 2020
We have gone through an entire bag and are into bag number 2 of this Healthy Weight food for our 3 year old Lab and are not seeing good results. We take him on 4 one mile walks per day and he runs around our property all day. He has not lost an ounce in fact he has gained 5 pounds and is very gassy and appears bloated. We honestly feel this food is having the opposite effect on him, and we are quite concerned. He has been fed Blue Buffalo his whole life and we are wondering if we should just switch back to Adult lamb and rice or chicken and rice?

All 4 of my big dogs prefer this "diet" mix to the non-diet food I buy!
By CaliforniaMarsha on Apr 30, 2020
I tried this "Healthy Weight" formula for my two low energy tubby dogs, while sticking with another high quality non-diet food for my two high energy slim dogs. To my surprise, my high energy boys abandoned their bowls of non-diet dinner, and tried to horn in on the two tubby dogs' bowls of this "Healthy Weight" formula! Even my picky-eating boy devours this food at a quick clip!

Dog food, treats, toys and supplies
By Jsabo on Mar 31, 2020
I have been a Chewy fan since start of my shopping for my four dogs. Couldn't be happier with the variety of items, quality and also the best customer service ever. I always purchase 2 different tasting dry food for my dogs and it was time to switch one so they don't get tire. Easy to locate blue buffalo as a good choice for its high rating and quality. Thank you to all Chewy staff specially during this hard time. Take care and stay safe.....

Must be yummy!
By Annie on Apr 28, 2020
My dog would refuse to eat. I thought he just didn't have a big appetite, until I bought this brand of dog food. He BEGS for breakfast the first thing every morning, could be 5am and he will be waiting for his food at his bowl. Must be yummy! My dog gives it 10/10.

Dog will not eat
By Food on Apr 3, 2020
I bought this because the cost was not bad for blue buffalo but my dog will not eat it. I even mixed it with gravy and she ate a bite and walked away. Now I have this big bag of dog food that I have to try to give away.

Excellent Food/Unbelievable Price

Blue Buffalo
By SSullivan on Apr 9, 2020
This was not the kind of Blue Buffalo that I usually order but I decided to try it. It ended up being a better choice because one of my golden retrievers is a little "fluffy". ;)

Great product
By Bella on Feb 22, 2020
This product is perfect for a medium to large size dog who is looking to lose a few pounds. The glucosamine and chondroitin also helps hips and joints. A great product
