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.

Picky Eaters
By Patty on Jul 12, 2020
Not saying there is anything wrong with this product, my girls won't touch it. I ordered this product to entice my 2 girls to get an appetite back - I have a 13yo and 19mo and they have both turned their noses up at this food - puppy food at that. I've never fed them lamb and thought this might be a good switch. I've spent lots of money trying to find food they will eat. I guess I'm back to the drawing board. Anyone have good advice..

Blue Buffalo to the rescue
By Roxy on Mar 23, 2020
We had always purchased Blue Buffalo for our dogs. This purchase was a donation to our favorite rescue/sanctuary, Caring for Creatures in Palmyra, VA. They took in a very pregnant, malnourished mom who gave birth to 10 beautiful babies within days of rescue. Nutrition was priority for mom and pups so Blue Buffalo to the rescue..in more ways than one. Mom is doing well and the pups are thriving. Thank you.

My fur babies
By Daisiemae1 on Feb 17, 2020
I have been searching for the best food for my chi puppies that didn’t cause vomiting or diarrhea. Someone recommended Blue Buffalo Life Protection for puppies. I started feeding them this and they absolutely loved it and it helped with the vomiting and the diarrhea, plus they seem to actually get full after actually eating this brand. They really liked the chicken and rice flavor and then I seen that only chewy carried this flavor the salmon and brown rice so it got it just to change up the flavor and to see if they liked this as well or could tolerate the fish. They absolutely love this flavor as well. I’ll continue to use Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Salmon and Brown Rice as well as I have been searching for the best food for my chi puppies that didn’t cause vomiting or diarrhea.

My Shepard mix puppy loves this!
By Jimmy on Dec 19, 2019
So I originally had my shepard mix puppy, Daisy on something recommended by the rescue. Wellness Complete Health Puppy Deboned Chicken, Oatmeal & Salmon Meal Recipe Dry Dog Food. It had good reviews and at first she liked it just fine. After a couple of weeks, should wouldn't eat it unless i mixed it with human food. So a friend of mine, who also helps me train her recommended Blue Buffalo. He also said try to get something without chicken. So me and my fiance bought a big bag of this and transitioned her over a week. I waited to do a review to see how she did over time. It's been a little over 3 weeks since we started her on it. 1-2 out of 3 meals a day we mix in coconut oil, but she cleans So I originally had my shepard mix puppy, Daisy on something recommended by the rescue.

It may work for your puppy but my Standard Poodle puppy refused to eat it. I had to go and buy her another brand.
