What resulted was a new kind of food made from high-quality natural ingredients, with real meat as the bedrock of every formula. Feed your pet with the nutrition he deserves and the taste he naturally craves with BLUE's innovative formulas.

Questions & Answers

12 Customer Questions

Is all Blue Buffalo dog food sourced and made in USA?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 27, 2020
All Blue Buffalo products are manufactured in the United States. Many of their ingredients, such as most grains and meats, like chicken, beef and turkey come from the United States. Lamb and venison can be free range from the United States or New Zealand. Rabbit is sourced from Europe, and trout can come from the United States or Canada. Where possible Blue's suppliers are instructed to source their ingredients from the United States. Where the ingredients are not readily available in the Unites States, such as many vitamins and minerals, their suppliers will only work with reliable foreign companies, and subject all ingredients to rigorous quality testing. None of the ingredients are sourced from China.

feeding instructions say how much per what? a day or a feeding (twice a day)?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 26, 2018
The feeding instructions give you the daily recommended feeding guidelines. This can be given as 1 daily feeding or broken into 2 daily feedings as recommended by your veterinarian.

Is this high in fiber ? I need a high fiber diet for my dogs anal gland impaction problem.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 04, 2020

How many kcals/cup?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 14, 2019
This formula contains approximately 345 kilo-calories per cup.

Our little Bubba is very food, oriented and saying that he would eat anything is putting it lightly. We needed a food that would fill him upand also get some weight off of him. He is a Chiweenie and was 2 pounds overweight. He lost that, and a little bit more, a healthy, happy pup!

We tried a different dog food and it was a no-go. This seems to fill her up as she eats her serving and she’s dropped a little weight over the last month. Can’t go wrong with Blue Buffalo!

I have been feeding him this for years, and he gobbles right down. I once tried, just to see what would happen, changing food, and he wouldn’t eat the new food. Anyway, it’s terrific food. He likes the chicken and brown rice.

Science diet is OUT! Tried Iams. My poor girl JoJo was losing her fur. She was almost completely bald along her back. She is a long hair Chihuahua and her tail was a mess! Decided to try Blue Buffalo. Holy Toledo!!! Over the past year her fur grew back out fuller and longer, and her tail is now a beautiful waterfall that cascades over her back and down to the floor! The hair itself is SEVEN INCHES LONG!!! I have to trim her backside because she has so much fur back there. I call her little miss fancy pants now. She has never looked better. I can’t wait til our annual family camping trip this year to see peoples reactions. And I will be absolutely sure to tell them what a superior product Blue Buffalo dog food is! I swear by it!

Have had my dog on Purina for two years and she got to where she wouldn’t eat it. I mixed some of the Blue Buffalo with her Purina to get her used to it until I just started giving her the Blue Bufffalo by itself. She loves it.
