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 recently switched my senior mini dachshund to Blue Buffalo small breed senior life protection, and have been amazed at the results. His coat is softer and shinier, and his nails stopped cracking. He bounds up stairs now like a puppy. I will never feed him anything else again. Cannot recommend this food enough.

Our rescue dog, a 7 yr old Shih-Tzu loves it. Vet recommend Blue Buffalo and I got the senior food because she is a senior now. Even though she's missing some teeth, I put water in it and she gobbles it down. It's got a lot of good ingredients. We use it for a treat also.

My two 12-year old Pekingese are very picky eaters, but the size of this kibble is just right and as long as I soften it with some warm water and mix it with the canned Blue thy eat it!

I have had my little girl since she was conceived. I delivered her and her 6 brothers and sister...Pip being the runt at only 2 oz. A big litter for a Jack Russell Terrier. My Pip is now 18 years and just beginning to slow down. I put her on the Blue Buffalo for her remaining days, months, years (?). She has always had a great diet of fresh chichen, brown rice, and veggies with little dried food and it seems to have been a good decision. But since she is the only puppy I have left she gets only the best.

My Number1Pup has been eating this food since she had "9" teeth extracted. Small bites help her a lot, and I really enjoy the price I pay at Chewy compared to what pet stores charge for the Sam product!

This Blue Buffalo formula is perfect for our aging small-breed dog. The ingredients are understandable and our dog loves it!

My two small dogs love this food, if I run out and try to feed them something else till I can get to the pet store, they won't eat until they get their blue buffalo, One of my girls is 13 the other one is 6 and are in excellent health!

My two little ones love this food. The size is right and I guess the flavor is too. They eat it up.
