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 Energizer!
By Minnie on Jul 5, 2020
I bought Blue Buffalo small breed, senior food for my 15 year old Italian Greyhound because it was recommended to me by a friend. She was recovering from a painful sprain and her spirits were down because of the pain. After she got the food, I mixed it 1/2 and 1/2 with her old food and she showed immediate interest and liked the taste of it. Seems like immediately she was happier and feeling better and her coat was shinier. I'm very impressed with the food and the service from Chewy that makes it so easy to order what you need. Thank you Blue Buffalo and thank you Chewy! :)

BB Life Protection Small Breed Senior Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food
By Elzbug on Jun 20, 2020
We've just begun using this so I can't comment as to the overall performance but already I'm noticing my 2 small dogs (one 6 and one 11) are enjoying it and their stool has become more solid and compact. We were using a combo of SD for seniors and Royal Canin for Shih tzu and sometimes their stools were quite mushy.

Happy dog; no gas; happy family
By Jollymom on May 17, 2020
My 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer enjoys this small kibble. I stir it in half and half with Sojo Senior wet food. He seems to prefer a little crunch in his food. Schnauzer’s digestive systems can be a bit tricky. But this formula seem to be working. He looks forward to each meal, his weight is stable. And his Gas is at a minimum. And that is delightful on so many levels.

Wonderful company
By Rescues on Apr 7, 2020
We rescued 3 small fur kids whose owner pass away who are seniors. I spoke to a wonderful customer rep who added their food to my auto ship. My order came promptly which was great as they had been on their food since they were young. They were very stressed losing their owner and were almost out of food. The autoship came just in time! Our senior pit bulls love the new additions and they love chewys!! Keep up the great service and stay safe !!!!!!

Still loves it
By Haleysmom on Feb 25, 2020
We have a Jack Russell with bad skin allergies and did all the food trials when she was a puppy. We also did the prescription dog food from the vet and still had issues. She has been on Blue Buffalo for 8+years with her allergy medication and her coat is great. She hasn’t had her bad hot spots, or army crawl which would make her belly raw. She is 12 now and still enjoys her meal time with Blue Buffalo dry and wet food!
