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.

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula

My 10 year old Yorkie loves Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula. Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula is a perfect size kibble for a ten pound dog. She also loves the taste and gets very excited when it is time to eat. I like the Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula for the extra nutrients that it gives her being that she is a senior dog. The flavor of the Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula is Lamb and Brown Rice, which she loves lamb. I believe that it is important for older dogs to have specific nutrients and antioxidants in their diet so they can continue to thrive and be healthy. Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula provides hip and joint, immune, balanced protein and carbohydrates, and omega three fatty acids to help protect my senior dog. She has not had any problems tolerating the food, which is comforting because she has a very sensitive stomach. She has been less itchy now that she’s been on the Blue Buffalo life protection food. I appreciate the True Blue Promise that the Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula is formulated with the finest ingredients including real lamb, by chicken by-products, no corn, no wheat, no soy, no artificial flavors, and no artificial preservatives. I can confidently feed my senior dog the Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula knowing that she is getting a high quality, nutritionally accurate food for age range.

This is a very palatable kibble, according to my two pugs. It has a nice smell and different shapes for interest. The kibble is just the right size for a small dog. My female pug normally needs her dog food soaked because of her teeth, but she was able to eat the small kibble in the Blue Buffalo food without soaking. I did put some to soak and it kept color and shape, which is often not the case with other brands. My pugs give it a 10!

My older pups are really loving this new food. The food has 2 different size nuggets. They go crazy over the smell, which I guess is lamb and fish. Love the extra fiber, so they poop when they need to instead of stinking up the house with their farts. And with this food, I don't have to give them an additional joint supplement since it contains glucosamine and condroitin.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ — Mixed Results in a Multi‑Dog Household

I really wanted to like Blue Buffalo Life Protection Lamb for dogs seven years and older. The ingredients and overall quality seemed promising, and one of my senior

I really wanted to like Blue Buffalo Life Protection Lamb for dogs seven years and older. The ingredients and overall quality seemed promising, and one of my senior dogs did great on it. She enjoyed the taste and had absolutely no issues at all. Unfortunately, my other senior didn’t tolerate it well. She experienced significant gastric upset, including diarrhea, which made it clear that this formula just isn’t the right fit for her. With a household of five dogs, I really need a food that works consistently for everyone, and the mixed reactions make it hard to stick with this one. I think it could be a good option for some dogs, but based on my experience, it may not agree with every sensitive senior stomach.

Our three dogs say this is a winner!

Our three dogs all enjoyed this food. My two big guys are not picky eaters, but our aged Shih Tzu can be difficult to entice to eat dry food. He loved it though!

Our three dogs all enjoyed this food. My two big guys are not picky eaters, but our aged Shih Tzu can be difficult to entice to eat dry food. He loved it though! Ate it well even without any topper. Seems like a great option for finicky eaters! It’s a brand that I trust for our sweet pets.

My aging toy poodle was in need of a new food. I decided to switch him to food to see how he would like it as he can be picky. He immediately loved it and now eats his meals so quick. I am so thankful to find a food that my pup enjoys and will help him as he ages.

My Meisie is a senior dog with digestive issues so changing up food can me a lot of trial and error. So far so good! She scarfs down what I give her so apparently the taste is 10/10. No issues have been seen expect maybe she eats it way too fast because it tastes so good!

Afghan Hounds are picky eaters. Well, Rowdy loves this food. Most of the time, he leaves some kibble for later. Not tonight, he ate the whole dish at once. I never fed Senior food, but I may need to start. Only thing I don't like is the kibble size is very small.
