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.

Seems like a good food but I am not sure if it agrees with my dog.
By Alexander on Feb 26, 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.

I TRUST BLUE
By Flibbergibbet on Jan 15, 2021
I do. Blue has kept my dogos happy and healthy for 13 years now. Vet wants to know how I keep them in such good shape. (1) Good quality food, nutrition, treats and lots if chews for teeth and gums. (2) Blue life performance products for every stage of their lives. I love my dogs. They are and deserve the best! DELIVERY ESSENTIAL Delivery is essential. Blue is not available everywhere. Traveling to national parks as a volunteer these last seven years, often to remote locations without access to Blue products, auto ship is essential. I move, notify delivery for next shipment and be done with it. Very easy to get the products for my dogs no matter where my next assignment leads! Thank you I do.

Hercules loves it
By Hercules on Feb 1, 2021
My Hercules loves this food. Tried to give home other brand and he would not eat it. The minute we switched back he devoured it and eats it all the time. I even noticed a difference e in his happiness, energy levels and coat. This food is worth every cent because I know he is getting vitamins, good taste and no fillers. Spend the extra to give your loves a longer happier life.

Rocko approves lamb and rice
By Angel on Jan 3, 2021
We put our 8 1/2 yr old, 105lb Doberman on this food due to his possible food allergies. 2 years ago he started developing fatty tumors and skin tags. Then he developed a hard spot that would eventually ulcerate. The first ulcer healed slowly on its own. 2nd ulcer healed quickly with abx. Then the 3rd would not heal with abx. It lasted for 6 months. Rocko is a very active and happy dog despite his fatty tumors and small skin ulceration. Decided to slowly change his food to the lamb and brown rice and after only 2 weeks I could see his ulcer was healing. Within another 2 weeks it was closed. I’m hoping this new food will keep the skin ulcers away. I’m giving credit to the new diet.

Awesome reaction from my dogs
By Kdog on Feb 8, 2021
I needed a food that was healthier than what they had been eating. I was having to add scrambled eggs, bone broth. I had to get them to eat. As soon as I put down this food, I haven't had to add anything. I am so happy. They seem more playful.

Good for our dog
By Bandit on Jan 17, 2021
Our 3 year old adopted Australian Sheppard was starting to scratch all of the time. We tried allergy shots and they did make him stop but the price was too much to keep giving to him. We tried Blue and he no longer scratches. He seems to like the food and if I don't' have to take him to get shots it is definitely a good deal.

So Far So Good
By JayC on Feb 20, 2021
This will be the 3rd different food from this brand. We tried the Salmon but they hated the taste I guess. I wish they could talk. So far they seem to like the Lamb and Rice. Fingers Crossed!

Blue Buffalo
By Jersey on Jan 23, 2021
Our dog says "yummy"....She licks the bowl! With some dog food we have to add a little wet food to her dish to make it more appealing but not with the Blue Buffalo. Definitely worth a try. Over the years we've tried many different brands...this one is a keeper!

Great Service and Delivery
By James on Feb 11, 2021
I have found Chewy to be an excellent provider of Blue Buffalo dog food and other canine products like GlycoFlex and Methigel. Deliveries have been on time or earlier then expected.
