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.

All My "Mikeys" Like It
By Dogmom on Oct 20, 2020
I have five senior doggies and all gobble this kibble up. I buy Blue because none of the ingredients come from China and those ingredients that are outsourced come from countries were pet health is a priority. I research dog food routinely as I feel nutritional health plays a huge part in longevity.

Was hoping for softer kibble
By Esther on Oct 12, 2020
My papillons are now 11 and 10. They never eat the dry kibble with gusto and have not for ages. I mix it with canned food but even with that it often sits and then gets crusty. So I switched to a senior formula hoping the kibble would be softer but it was just as hard.

Picky Eater Approved!!
By Jess on Aug 20, 2020
I bought this after buying Blue Buffalo Blissful Belly Digestive Care wet dog food. I decided to switch from Eukanuba dry food to this brand after such good results from Blue Buffalo food. My 3 senior babies loved it and couldn't stop asking for more after they finished their 1 cup. Highly recommend to mix with the Blissfull Belly Digestive care wet can food from Blue Buffalo! I use half of the can as a topper to mix with the dry food and they love it. No more constipated issues from chihuahua. No more picky eater issues from my fur babies either.

Finally... a kibble he LOVES!
By CCWCrew on Sep 27, 2020
As my dog has aged, he is more picky about kibble. I thought he was having a hard time chewing, but I think he was bored with the same food he had been eating for years. First serving I gave him of Blue, he devoured it.

Senior/Heart
By Sheila on Aug 22, 2020
I have been buying this for my 12 pound King Charles Cavalier who was recently diagnosed with heart failure. She loves it wet and dry and it doesn’t go to waste if it isn’t eaten when dry. I also have a 17 year old mixed breed, who is 45lbs and he loves it. Because it is small bits he can eat it easily and I know he is getting the nutrition he needs.

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! :)

Good Choice!
By suzette on Sep 13, 2020
My fiesty little Cairn Terrior mix seems to love this. I am gradually adding this to his previous dry dog and it has not upset his stomach. Seems to be working.
