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.

Best Dog Food

If you haven't yet tried Blue Buffalo Dog Food, I suggest you consider it. I've owned and cared for many breeds over the years, and Blue Buffalo has never failed

If you haven't yet tried Blue Buffalo Dog Food, I suggest you consider it. I've owned and cared for many breeds over the years, and Blue Buffalo has never failed. The dogs always have good gut health, and they love nearly all the food flavors. I currently have a Lab-Pit mix who is losing weight, and she even loves the taste of the weight loss food. Blue Buffalo is the best.

I was looking for the exact same type and kibble size as I had bought at Menards. I did find the same chicken flavor though. So I compared ingredients because my 13 yr old dog is very fussy. So comparing was not easy because what is sold in department stores is not exactly the same as what we find through Chewy. So I ended up ordering a bag for Adult 1-7 yr olds. Well, turns out the kibble size is larger (Libby's teeth have chips and she prefers small), she is not in the 1-7 yr range, so I'm sorry but I think I have the wrong bag for her.

Bag came with cuts

Bag came with cuts on them. If you look closely, the cuts are deep enough to see small holes. This never happened with any other dog food I ordered from chewy.

Two chunky dogs love their new diet food

I have two picky pitbulls who have made their way to the “fluffier” side of life and need to loose a few pounds. Thankfully they love this new food. Yay!

My German shepherd had problems gaining and keeping weight on her body until after I started feeding her Blue Buffalo!! 4 months in and she is the happiest I’ve ever seen her and she has steadily been gaining and holding onto her weight. Noticed her coat is shinier and softer than before! Love it!!

Disappointed with Packaging Quality Please Review Manufacturing

I’ve been a loyal customer of Blue Buffalo and Chewy for years, and I generally trust the quality of both the product and service. However, my recent order was concerning. Both bags of Blue Buffalo dry dog food arrived with the top seal improperly closed open at the exact same spot. This clearly appears to be a manufacturing defect rather than an issue caused during shipping or by Chewy. To be clear, I’m not leaving this review to request a refund. I simply want other customers to be aware that if the seal is not intact, the food may not remain fresh or safe to use through the listed expiration date. I hope Blue Buffalo addresses this issue promptly. Proper packaging is essential to ensure product quality and, most importantly, our pets' health. LOT:20260525 DB A 16:12 exp.may 25,2026 Thank you.
