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 wanted to try this because I've heard so many good things but it REALLY smells like fish and it's super strong. This is a problem in itself because WOW that stench but also, I made the mistake of not checking the ingredients well enough and didn't realize... I'm SUPER allergic to fish and have been having a HORRIBLE reaction to this. Ugh. I thought this was supposed to be lamb flavored... not fish flavored... my dog won't even come near it and she'll eat practically anything. On the plus side the cats seem to like it because they won't leave the darn bag alone! I have to get this out of my house. I'm gonna give it to someone for free. This isn't worth the money. Sorry. Chewy is great though I wanted to try this because I've heard so many good things but it REALLY smells like fish and it's super strong.

Gunner is recently off the weight loss kick and onto something healthy to keep him going! Fantastic for his skin, coat, weight management, and he loves the taste. The pieces aren't huge, but they're not tiny. Gunner doesn't have a small mouth for being part shepherd, so he adores this size of kibble.

My fur babies love Blue Lamb and brown rice formula. Have tried many kinds of food for them but this is the one they like the best. Thank you Blue for this high quality food. My fur babies thank you as well as me.

I fed my last dog this dog food and she loved it. I thought I would try some for my finicky eater. When I opened the bag, it smelled really bad, like a strong fish smell. This is lamb dog food. I wondered how my dog could eat this. When I gave it to her, she did not eat it. What has happened to Blue Buffalo lamb dog food? Times have changed.

We have just started to change our dog to Blue Buffalo Dog Food He is doing very well with the change. That is about all we can say right now; since he is not fully on Blue Buffalo yet We have been feeding Blue Buffalo cat food to our cat for several years and he loves it and the food has been good for him

We started our Pembroke Welsh Corgi when we got her as a puppy from an established AKC Breeder of Merit. With Blue Buffalo products, she has been healthy and without digestive problems since we got her. At 16 months, we have switched from puppy food to adult. We use Lamb & Brown Rice dry dog food and Chicken & Brown Rice, switching back and forth daily to ensure a good mix of vitamins and minerals. We also feed her Blue Buffalo canned food as an additional mixture with a bit of hot water to moisten the food. We also weigh her weekly to keep her at a proper weight with very minimal fat on her.

My dog loved it. He’s been on prescription dog food for 18 months and is really getting tired of it, so I mixed the two and he’s eating a lot better.

I wish my dog could talk to tell me how she likes it! But, she eats it so I guess she likes it. I can only go by reading the ingredients which were the highest rated next to Orijen which is what I use to buy from Chewy. Since Orijen is no longer offered by Chewy I was forced to find another brand to have delivered to my door. I'm actually only giving her a quarter of this Blue Buffalo mixed in with 3/4 of Orijen which I now have to buy at a Pet Food Store.

I like the Blue Buffalo brand. My dog loves the different flavors. Has never turned her nose to this brand but has at others.
