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.

Liked the Flavor, But Upset Her Stomach
By LaceyAndLoo on Dec 1, 2021
When I transitioned my 17lb 12-year-old Min Pin/ Chi mix to this food, it gave her the worst gas she’d ever had. Both farts and belches. She liked the taste of it, but I’m transitioning her back to her old food to ease her tummy. So far, she has much less gas already.

Dog likes the food and it's good quality
By suloumac on Dec 3, 2021
We've been feeding our dog Blue Buffalo for a few years now. He likes it and best of all, it's not filled with a ton of fillers. It's good quality and although it's a little pricey, our boy is worth it.

Not quite a 5 star
By chrisinRochester on Sep 10, 2021
My 14 yr old Cockapoo is on his second bag (I did not buy senior food for him until this year). He has lost a couple teeth, so I add a little water to it. He eats more when I do that. He likes the food, except for the little round balls. Which have the extra vitamins and minerals. When he's done eating, the floor around his bowl is littered with these that he's spit out. He's probably eating some of them, so I'll keep buying it. I don't want to go through the switching food thing at this point.

Loved it then hated it
By RockyMiaPaxHuxleyMom on Sep 27, 2021
My 3 dogs loved this immediately when I opened the bag. All 3 aggressively scarfed their bowls of food the first time. After that they refuse to touch it. I don’t know why they won’t eat it and I was SO hoping they would because I believe it is good quality. Another bag of food sitting here that none of them will eat.

Blue Buffalo Kibble
By Carolyn on Nov 5, 2021
This is the best! My dogs love it. I mix it with Blue Buffalo Delights Chicken or Beef. So good for the babies!

I don’t like it!!
By PiperM on Oct 18, 2021
My baby is getting older now so we thought we should try her on the senior blend. But she won’t and still has yet to eat a bite of it

Fit for a Picky Eater
By Chefmeister on Jun 17, 2021
Chloe, our ‘Chiwennie’ (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) is a very picky eater. When her usual dry food went on back order, I was reluctant to try something new, but she dug in and finished off the first bowl with little of no hesitation! It’s been almost two weeks since she switched, and she continues to finish her bowlful every day! Happy to have a backup dry food source (which may just become Chloe’s primary source!).
