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

13 Customer Questions


is this made in USA

Answer by ChewyJul 23, 2019
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.

Approximately how many cups of food in a 30 lb bag?

Answer by ChewyMar 01, 2019
There will be approximately 4 cups per pound of kibble so this 30 pound bag will contain close to 120 cups.

What weight should a dog be to get the large breed?

Answer by ChewyNov 26, 2022
This recipe is recommended for dogs weighing 50 pounds or more.

what size is the kibble

Answer by ChewyOct 24, 2021
The kibble size for all Blue Buffalo large breed dog recipes will range in size from 13-15mm.

Our dog Talaia is loving her new dog kibble! We've used Blue Buffalo for years with our previous big dog, so it was natural to use the puppy formula and now the adult large breed with this new dog. She's a Great Pyrenees so we kept her on puppy formula for 2 years and was more than ready to start this formula. She's been chowing down for 2 weeks on it! We love the bigger and smaller chunks in it. And Talaia doesn't overeat it either. We love that it's meant for the bigger boned dogs, too. We are very happy and will buy it again and again. Thanks!

Both of my picky dogs love this food! We have to switch up their food often because they either don’t like it anymore or get sick of it. So far they gobble it up

I like the fact that I can have the food delivered.

If I am home I can get the mail person to bring the boxes in the house for me.
