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.

Questions & Answers

Does the bag reseal after opening?
Answer by Chewy • Nov 21, 2017
The bags aren't resealable.
When is your dog considered a senior dog?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 30, 2017
When your pet reaches 7 years old, they're entering the senior stage of their life. This recipe is formulated to meet the specific needs of small breed senior dogs.
Is this food made in the USA.
Answer by Chewy • Jun 26, 2018
All Blue Buffalo products are manufactured in the United States. Many of their ingredients, such as most grains and meats, like chicken, beef and turkey come from the United States. Lamb and venison can be free range from the United States or New Zealand. Rabbit is sourced from Europe, and trout can come from the United States or Canada. Where possible Blue's suppliers are instructed to source their ingredients from the United States. Where the ingredients are not readily available in the United States, such as many vitamins and minerals, their suppliers will only work with reliable foreign companies, and subject all ingredients to rigorous quality testing. None of the ingredients are sourced from China.
How does this help a dogs brain function?
Answer by Chewy • Jun 18, 2019
This recipe is not formulated to improve cognitive function.

Food is great! Delivery sucks

I explained the issue from my last delivery so now I just canceled my auto-ship! Why in earth would someone not deliver my dog food at my front door? Instead the person places it totally away from my house, across the parking area, in front of a stored trailer. And you charge for delivery!! This is ridiculous! Sorry Chewy! This is my last experience with you. The food is great, but you have nothing to do with that.

My senior dog loves it!

I recently decided to switch over to Blue Buffalo for my dogs. I've heard many good things about Blue Buffalo products and felt it would be a better choice than the dog food I was currently buying. From the first bowl full my senior dog has loved the food. She is a grazer, but eats this food much quicker than the other stuff. I'm very happy with this food and will continue buying it for her.

Had to mix it with a tastier food

Neither of my dogs are particularly crazy about this. I definitely have to mix it with some homemade. If it's not completely coated with the mixture, they will spit out the pieces on the floor. Will find a different food after this is gone.

The beef gave my guys gas

I normally buy the chicken formula but my Shepard has tummy issues so I thought I'd try the beef. They seemed to like it ok but it gave my guys gas real bad!! 4 gassy dog aren't a good thing! LOL So I've changed them back to the chicken and I'm just trying other cures for my guys belly issues. After a few other foods Initially I do like the Blue brand. I feel its the 'cheapest best' food we can afford to feed them and the Blue points system they have allows me to get free items...so fyi... if you don't do that your missing out!!

BEWARE! Not Safe.

This dog food cause my little senior chihuahua to have seizure for 2 days with vomiting and diarrhea (Sometime even with blood in it). I immediately stop feeding him the food and my fur baby has now stop having seizure and vomiting. He still, although, have occasional diarrhea but hopefully it will stop. This food is not safe and I will never purchase it again. Please be cautious if you are feeding this food to your dog.

Senior Dogfood Favorite

We have tried various foods for our senior Pekingese dog. She is very picky and she loved this food. Good for small senior dogs who don’t have many teeth left

Pup Won’t Eat It

My 12 year old Peekapoo won’t eat it. I’ve tried adding some wet food into it. He picks through and spits out the Blue Buffalo.
