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 bought this for my King Charles Cavalier puppies. They are so healthy and growing up so fast. They love it. I carry some in my pocket because it doubles as a training treat.

This is a very convenient service, however, our dog food came ripped with a giant slash in the bag. I hope the food is still fresh. Very unimpressed with Chewy this time around. Not sure if we will continue to use this website.

My 7 month old beagle/terrier mix loves blue buffalo puppy food. He was so small when we rescued him at 9 weeks old and this was the only food we tried that he didn’t have problems with the food being to big for his little teeth. The size kibble is perfect for small dogs and he’s never had any tummy issues with this brand.

I love chewy - this blue buffalo puppy food is great! I have two 5 month old chihuahua sibling puppies. I also buy blue buffalo small breed dog food for my 3, 10 and 15 year old dogs. That I can get all of their foods (cats too, and their litter) all delivered to my home saves me time, shopping and a lot of lifting!

We had a litter of puppies and they have really enjoyed this puppy food. Everyone who got a puppy I have recommended chewy.com for them to use. Great food at a great price. Best part is when I don’t have to worry about dog food anymore. Win for dogs and Win for me!!!

I have a Boston terrier that gets pancreatic attacks , he cannot eat anything other that blue buffalo life protection small bites. He's very healthy and has a shiny coat. I also has a Boston terrier puppy that eats the same food but the puppy version. Both doing great on this food.

I just got a new puppy and he licks his bowl clean every time I feed him this. I don't mix the dry food with anything either. He loves it all on its own. I also have a 4 year old mix who eats the adult version of this recipe (Life Protection for Small Breed Adult), it will be a great transition to that food once my puppy grows up. I love Blue Buffalo!
