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.

GREAT FOOD!
By TNJJ on Jan 12, 2022
I had a Bishon who had terrible skin issues and allergies for years. When he was 9 years old (2011) I switched him to this food and within 6 weeks his skin cleared up, no more allergies or hot spots. He passed in 2018 at age and 16. Last year I became the proud owner of a Pomeranian puppy and promptly switched his food from the Purina One puppy food which he didn't seem to care for much anyway. He has thrived on this food and is now on the adult form. My vet even asked me what food I was feeding him because he is so healthy and has a beautiful coat. I also supplement at dinner the BB wet food for small dogs and he is a happy guy which makes me a Happy Mom!

Comedy of errors
By Boymom on Dec 22, 2021
I ordered dog food and treats and was told it would be sent by Monday. Then I received a notification that said it would arrive by Thursday. I went out and bought treats and food. I bought the wrong food. So back to the store I went and exchanged the food which cost me more money. And then the food arrived on Monday. I’m sure from here on and it will go very smoothly. And the dogs like the food and treats!

Willie Approved
By jvanwals on Dec 14, 2021
Willie is recent newly adopted boy. Prior to his adoption he was feed Purina One, so we started that here. After a short time he seemed to be avoiding his meals turning his nose up to it. I had wanted him on a better diet and/or food, so I bought this B.B. As we started the weaning process, BB was ate completely from his bowl, the PO was left behind. It didn't take long and we switched him to 100% BB and we're not looking back.

My dog likes the taste
By RVHS on Dec 17, 2021
My dog was being fed a very expensive kibble and he would not eat it without wet food in it. Even then he'd try to eat the wet around the kibble. It was suggested I try this. He gobbles it up without any wet food. To me that says a lot, he likes the taste. Of course every dog will have different preferences just like us. I'm comfortable about the nutrition and price components of it

Fussy two year old
By Finney on Dec 11, 2021
My 2 yr. old lab mix has been fussy about his food. I have always used Blue Buffalo for my dogs but this one didn't seem too interested. I tried many brands and discovered he preferred lamb! Who knew! So ...I went back to Blue Buffalo because I trusted it and he doesn't give me any trouble. He seems anxious for his dish to be filled! YAY!

Healthy versatile dog kibble
By Cents on Jan 24, 2022
I've been feeding my furkids Blue Buffalo for over 20 years. Rocky lived to 19 yrs and ShaSha lived to 18. Now my latest adopted furkid, Jamie is getting the same. Long live Jamie!

Hmmmm, no clue
By Michele on Dec 11, 2021
I thought getting a different flavor would be a good idea & keep my trio from being bored with their food. I don't know what the problem is but they just don't care for this. I'm stumped. Now I have a new bag & they don't want it. Aarrgg!

Not sure about this
By PatB on Jan 24, 2022
Not sure because my dogs don't like it any better than what they have. I was trying to find a bigger bites and a different flavor.

Can Tell a Difference in Dog's Health
By ShopDog on Oct 25, 2021
We have a rescue dog who came with the worst breath on the planet. I didn't know even a dog could have breath that bad. We started out mixing Blue Buffalo with the cheap dog food he was used to eating at the various shelters he inhabited. We have been slowly increasing the ratio of Blue Buffalo and over time, his overall health, coat, and (thank heaven!) his breath have drastically improved. It has to be the food.

Good food for my Boston Terrier
By Conniek on Nov 24, 2021
My dog has allergies from other dog foods with chicken & beef. She does really well on this lamb and rice. I add a few spoonfuls of the canned lamb & rice and little warm water...and she loves it. Her allergies have improved greatly!
