Blue Buffalo Puppy Food
By Barb on Feb 16, 2021
Recently purchased a puppy from a breeder & breeder was feeding Diamond brand food. I wasn’t satisfied with quality of that food, puppy did not seem fond of it (she quite often left food in bowl) and puppy was having gas & digestive issues. I talked to my vet about switching her food & that I was thinking about Blue Buffalo brand. Vet supported my decision to switch. I slowly added Blue Buffalo & phased out the Diamond brand. What a difference!!! My puppy now looks forward to eating & finishes her food, no more gas issues & I have piece of mind knowing that she is eating a higher quality of food. Chewy is making that decision even easier with their subscription service! Thank you Blue Buffalo Recently purchased a puppy from a breeder & breeder was feeding Diamond brand food.

Love Chewy!
By Tryphaena on Feb 9, 2021
My best friend told me about Chewy.com after she sent me a curated box of goodies for our new puppy. I'm so glad she did, because I am now subscribed to have our dog food sent right to our door without having to worry about running out! In a time where going to the grocery store is literally a risk, this is an awesome service and one less thing to worry about! Shipping was really quick as well, and I love that I can find SO much variety as far as treats for my pup because he is in the chewing stage and needs a lot of distractions!

Has been great puppy chow for our frenchie
By Monty on Feb 23, 2021
We have been giving our frenchie pup, Monty, this brand of puppy food since we brought him home. He's never had any issues digestively speaking and ordering the large bag makes it so we only have to get food every 3 months or so. He's grown very healthy and has plenty of energy!

Foster pups love it
By Crazyfostermom on Jan 4, 2021
Even though the shelter I foster for provides food,I always buy the Blue Buffalo puppy food. Puppies have delicate tummies and we have never had any issues with it. No stomach trouble, no eating problems. I always take the largest litters. I just want to keep the siblings together . The largest litter born here was 14 pups and when they went for adoption, their bellies had eaten nothing but BB puppy . My pack eat nothing but BB Wilderness duck flavor. We will continue to be a BB family.when two of my pack had to be put down, I felt I was speaking to a family member and not jut anyone who read my message.

Best puppy food
By BlackRaven259 on Feb 4, 2021
Our border collie, Cinch, has no issues at all with this food. We mix in a bit of BB canned puppy food and he loves it. I want nothing but the best for him because he deserves it and this puppy food is the best of the best hands down. His eyes and coat shine, energy galore and his weight is perfect. A+ 5 star food!

Duke loves it
By ChefChris401 on Jan 31, 2021
Started my pit puppy on this mixed with some wet food when I first got him. He loves this food, no issues with gas, stomach issues, etc. He’s now 6 months old and eats it dry, his coat is super soft and shiny, lean muscle, tons of energy and very healthy. Even the other dog in the house that’s only ever eaten wet food her whole life likes it!

Wholesome ingredients
By Fish4fun on Jan 29, 2021
We chose Blue Buffalo puppy food because of the ingredients. We wanted our new puppies to get the best food we could find. Definitely not the cheapest available, but great ingredients and no fillers. Our puppies, Belle and Bailey, seem to really like it and we plan to continue with the Blue Buffalo brand.

Chewy experience good - food giving puppies gas
By MImi on Feb 8, 2021
My chewy's experience was good except I wanted to set up the purchase as reoccurring and somehow the check box was unchecked after I placed the order. It did come quickly in fact sooner than promised however we are having some problems with puppy blue buffalo causing gas in the puppies.

Stinky poop gone
By YakkyStick on Jan 10, 2021
Got a new puppy a couple months ago, had to deal with really really stinky poops from the food she came with, sometimes really runny even weeks after the deworming was done. Switched up to this kibble that has no corn or corn fillers. Solid poops without the room clearing, paint wall peeling farts and poops. Happy puppy and happy puppy parents.

Perfect Puppy Food
By Opal on Jan 7, 2021
We purchased for our new puppy and it has been wonderful. She eats it with no digestive issues. She is a large breed so you can see that she is getting great nutrition. Her hair is smooth. Food keeping up with high energy and growth spurts. Ver also was pleased with our food choice.
