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.

After I was told that fromm was going to be no longer available soon I was very concerned about trying to find a brand of food my schanuzer would enjoy eating. Thankfully chewy offered ones to me that were similar to fromm. My dog loves this food as much as her fromm so I am very statified with this purchase. Would highly recommend it to anyone who is having trouble finding a brand to switch to after fromm. The sizes are small enough for my 13 pounds schanuzer so no complaints here!!! Thank you chewy!!

I selected Blue Buffalo as the new dry food for our two Bostons, Henry and Gracie. Still in the 50% old food/50% new food stage until next week, but so far so good. No tummy upsets, at least none I can see, and they are just as energetic and happy as always. Chewy.com will no longer be carrying their old food, and I'd much rather change to a new food than give up the great care and fabulous prices I get here at Chewy.

I decided to get this for my 2 year old dog, after seeing that her old food was filled with fake stuff, so I switched her to this, Ive never seen her so happy about food! She stuck her whole face in the bag to eat it! (Pictured below) and Chewy was fast too! After an hour of placing my order it shipped! Came within two days! Awesome food, awesome website!

Purchased this because my dogs are getting up in years. They love this food. One is a little overweight and has shown signs of loosing and is a lot more active. I still swear by Purina. That food has saved many sick dogs. As dogs get older they just needed extra protein.

It took some time to search out what brand would be close to my Fromm type dog food. I saw what was on the ingredients and thought it would the best transition for my dog. So far it worked. We are still in the blending stage from old to new, but my pup seems to eat it up.

My 14 year old Boxer likes this food much more than my 4 year mixed, Doberman/boxer. He will eat it dry, but she won't. They are both big eaters and I am going to have to buy more than just one large bag a month even though I mix a can of food with their evening meal.

We have always purchased Blue Buffalo Life Protection for our dog since she was a puppy and we have never had any issues. She usually eats the chicken and rice, but we decided to siwtch up the flavor and she loves the lamb and rice.

I had been using the same food for years and started having one dog not eat it unless I added something yummy. She eats this so fast that I had to get her a divided bowl. We are switching both dogs to this now!

My vet advised me to get Blue Buffalo dry food for a beagle I had, as she would get sick of other foods. She also had a sensitive tummy, so I gave he the Blue Buffalo food for that, and she ate it for the last 4 years of her life. My goldendoodle loves it also, and since he is so skinny, I was told that the lamb had more protein in it. Wish I had his metabolism!
