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.

I tried this food on the recommendation from a representative from chewy. Because they are not selling Nutrisource puppy food anymore,they had a lot of good reviews about Blue Buffalo puppy food that I wanted to try it but my dog do not like it very well, so I am trying to find a puppy food that my dog will eat,but I am having a lot of trouble finding one that he likes but I cannot find a place where I can buy Nutrisource puppy food anymore so I will have to try to find something that he likes.I hope I can find some food at chewy that he will like to eat. I know that Blue Buffalo is a good brand and I would recommend it for other dog

My 3 dogs have eaten this dry food for years mixed with Weruva wet food or meat I cook for them in my kitchen. The last two bags I have ordered, my dogs wont touch! I thought the first bag might have been a bad batch so I threw it away and ordered another. The second bag also smells slightly sour. . Apparently, the recipe has changed. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, far better than mine, so I listen to them. I threw the entire second bag into the woods for the wildlife to enjoy. Will not be ordering again . Two strikes-out!

I bought puppy food on Chewy. I bought a large bag. It arrived the next day. I put it in a large plastic bin, and threw away the bag. My pup was fussy, and wouldn't eat it. Customer service was so helpful to me in choosing Blue Buffalo. They refunded my first purchase, and asked me to donate the remainder to a shelter. Actually I gave it to a local family, who is having a hard time making ends meet, so it did go to a good cause. My pup loves her new food and toys. It's a pleasure to do business with a company that has such integrity, and sells a high quality product.

After reading the ingredients on the bag, this is the best puppy food I have found for my 2 puppies. I'm so glad I came on this site and found it at such a good price. My puppies love it & I can see how healthy they are. I love the fact that I can have it delivered to my door, which saves a lot of time. I definitely will be purchasing more of this then switching them to the adult formula when they get older.

I was referred to Chewy.com by a friend because of the ease and slightly cheaper options. I would have to agree with her recommendation because I was able to save 20% on my first order and had an additional $15 off. I was able to get two bags of the Blue Buffalo brand for less than a single bag at any of the competitors. The one complaint was that one of the bags I ordered was punctured when we received it.

I chose to have this bag autoshipped every 4 weeks and it is now 4 weeks later and I still have a ton left! I have a 40lb puppy who eats the recommended serving per day, and still I think we have enough left to last another month. I just bumped the autoshipment to every 6 weeks. Very happy with the quantity and quality of this product.

For many years I have used Purina Puppy Chow for my dogs. They liked it. I decided to try the Blue Buffalo after seeing the commercials. My dogs like it as well. I am not by any means against my former food choice, but I felt that I owed it to my pet family to at least try other brands. They do like this Blue Buffalo too.

This is an excellent example of great products, shipping, and SAVING MONEY! I saved 25% on this product even with the shipping tacked on. Customer service even called me tp make sure everything was correct as it was my first time ordering! I highly recommend this to all!

Blue Buffalo is what we feed our 3.5 year old black lab. That is our reasoning behind why we decided to use it. Our 9 week old lab puppy loves this food. It's small enough (and soft enough with a little bit of water) for her sharp as a knife teeth to chew!

My puppy has been on this food since we got her, she was 6 weeks then. She absolutely loves the taste of this food! Her poop is always solid, her coat is always shiny and her teeth are super clean! Plus it always arrives on time ;)
