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

20 Customer Questions


Is blue buffalo life protection formula adult fish & brown rice recipe dry dog food grain free?

Answer by ChewyDec 27, 2018
This food is not grain free.

Is the fish in the Life Protection Formula Fish and Brown Rice farm raised?

Answer by ChewySep 03, 2018
Blue Buffalo utilizes both farms raised and ocean-caught fish in their products. They will use framed raised fish during times when the wild fish population has to regrow.

My 1 year old pup has always eaten Blue chicken and brown rice. I wanted to try the fish or lamb so is that bad to change?

Answer by ChewyAug 12, 2018
When changing formulas always transition your pet to avoid gastrointestinal upset. Start by mixing 25% of BLUE with your dog’s old food, and gradually increase the proportion of BLUE over the next 14 days.

Is this still made in USA?

Answer by ChewyApr 06, 2018
This product is made in the United States.

We have been on auto ship for some time for this food and this batch was a bad one. We order blue Buffalo for our puppies and never have an issue until now... this last batch made our puppies sick... They wouldn't eat it and we couldn't figure out why, thought maybe they were sick. We continued to give our dogs the food. And when they got hungry enough, they would eat. But then their stool was runny and we couldn't figure out why we waited and bought other food and waited.... they actually would go days with barely eating.. Until our next delivery came (today) we figured out why. the new batch we can tell has a clear color distinction. As soon as we gave it to our pups, they ate it, no issue no hesitation. Our conclusion is that we were given an outdated or bda bag of food. I no longer have the bag as we always dump the bags upon delivery into an airtight storage container but with was this delivery date. I feel we are owed a replacement bag since we threw out about $60 worth of dog food.

Cosmo loves it!

Cosmo doesn’t do well with chicken and his food and didn’t love the blue buffalo beef flavor. But he loves the fish flavor. He immediately eatswhat we put down instead

Cosmo doesn’t do well with chicken and his food and didn’t love the blue buffalo beef flavor. But he loves the fish flavor. He immediately eatswhat we put down instead of just leaving it there. He seems to digest it really well and no more runny poop.

The commercials made me read the label

This food made my dog so sick. She had bloody diarrhea for weeks. Several other people told me later that they had similar experience.

Not on the porch?

Always on the porch. Today on a rainy day it was delivered right next to the road. I am a Little disappointed, cause everything‘s wet.
