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.

different product in bags
By Rescuemom on Apr 24, 2021 top1000Contributor
I have been feeding this food for approx. 6 months. I average purchasing 2 -30# bags auto ship per month. When I started feeding this food my 4 dogs loved it. After several months of getting this food I opened a bag and noticed it was different. the nuggets were smaller and a darker, richer color. I looked at the bag because I thought Chewy had shipped the wrong thing. After confirming it was the same bag, then I was concerned about feeding because I was afraid it was a different product in the wrong bag. I contacted the BB company and was pretty much told they were allowed to have a ?mm variance. I explained about the difference in color. I was pretty much blowed off and total if I wasn’t satisfied I have been feeding this food for approx. 6 months. I average purchasing 2 -30# bags auto ship per month.

Just got my 2 bags. Opened first one. Back to regular size. Next bag, same problem. I’m at a loss as to continue to purchase this brand. … more

Highly Recommended Dog Food
By RachelGNWA on Apr 29, 2021
We have 4 dogs and they were all itching non-stop. They would lick constantly and scratch all the time. I felt so bad and had no idea what to do. Well my mom was watching a tv show called Dr. Pol, he's a veterinarian and had a patient in with the same issues and he told her owner to look at the food she was feeding her and to make sure that corn meal wasn't in the first 10 ingredients and to make sure pure animal protein was in the top 2. Well I looked and looked, compared prices of different brands, and decided to go with Blue Buffalo. Well let me tell you, it was the best decision. Not only are all 4 dogs no longer itching non-stop, their coats look healthier, and it seems like they have more We have 4 dogs and they were all itching non-stop.

Review on Blue
By Angelique1 on May 7, 2021
I’ve been feeding my lab mix this dog food for a little more than a year. At first, she was a little picky with it. But I always added a little water for moisture and extras like green beans, wet food, chicken, rice, etc. I had a long journey with this dog food until I found out about its recall history. I will have to switch my dog onto something else.

Need more options
By Hannah on Apr 19, 2021
We had our puppy on the Blue Buffalo Lamb & Oatmeal puppy food. When it came time to move to dog food they don’t have lamb and oatmeal dog food so we gave this a try. Our dog wouldn’t eat it, he would skip a meal or two and only eat it after a hunger strike. We switched to a different brand that carried lamb and oatmeal dog food and he inhaled it! Wish BB carried the adult version of the lamb & oatmeal puppy food.

Good Choice for Frenchies - So Far
By Mlunderwood83 on Mar 24, 2021
We started our 2 Frenchies on the puppy formula of this one and they seemed to do great on it. They are now 1 & 1.5 yrs old and are on the adult formula. One of our Frenchies is getting bad gas & some potty issues - but she may have an allergy we need to address. Hoping it's not because of the food because it'd be a pain to have them on separate diets. The ingredient list is the LEAST scary I've seen so far with all of the brands out there. I hear nothing but good things about this brand & food so I'm hopeful. Had my 2 Bostons on a grain-free diet, and they both passed relatively early for Bostons from undiagnosed/unknown conditions around their hearts & seizures (1 episode each, not ongoing We started our 2 Frenchies on the puppy formula of this one and they seemed to do great on it.

So with that said - the ingredient list is appealing on Blue Buffalo, the price is right, the dogs seem to love it and the overall reviews are positive so we'll keep going! … more

She is guarding it.
By Libby on May 3, 2021
I got this in the can and the kibble and mixed it, and wow that went fast! She (our "alpha" who is battling allergies) is now sleeping next to the kibble cabinet so no other dogs get to it counting the hours till breakfast. She has never done that before.

Absolutely Stupid
By None on May 4, 2021
How stupid to review my "experience" buying as bag of dog food. OMG!!! I have unsubscribed because with all the email we received daily, something this ridiculous is not needed. Again, OMG!

my dog loves this food!
By hannah on Mar 17, 2021
We switched our Bernese mountain dog to this food from a chicken based lesser dog food brand and we have seen significant changes, she doesn’t lose her hair nearly as much as she was, she doesn’t have loose stool, and she eats like a champ. I would definitely recommend this!

Good Dry Dog Food
By Doglover on Apr 28, 2021
My dog is very picky, but she likes this food the best! The pieces are small and easy to eat. My dog likes me to stir in one teaspoon of olive oil into it.

Seems like a good food but I am not sure if it agrees with my dog.
By Alexander on Feb 27, 2021
It was a nice food, but I’m not sure why but my dogs stomach didn’t agree with the lamb food super well.. Probably not the food probably my dog because she was on chicken protein puppy chow before from the same brand but I wanted to have something a little different for her but she never adjusted to the lamb. I am trying fish next.
