- Place your order and we'll take care of contacting your veterinarian. If you have a copy of your authorization, you can expedite the process by uploading a scan or photo of it to the Prescriptions section in your account or your order confirmation. You can also email it to vetdiet@chewy.com.
If your clinic needs more information from you or recommends a different diet, we'll let you know immediately.
I have a copy of the authorization from my veterinarian. Can I send it to you?
Yes. If you have a paper copy of your veterinarian's authorization, you can upload a scan or photo to the Prescriptions section in your account or your order confirmation. You can also email it to vetdiet@chewy.com.
Can I use a veterinarian's authorization if it was written by a veterinarian out of state? Yes. We accept valid authorizations from anywhere in the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico.
Why do I need a veterinarian's authorization?

Yes, but we'll need them to contact us and provide the full name of the pet's owner after the order is placed. This is so the veterinary clinic can locate your pet's records when we contact them. Email us at vetdiet@chewy.com or call us 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399.

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.

Good food for weight loss
By bb625 on Apr 4, 2021
A lot of the low-fat foods (especially kibble) aren't super appetizing. This one is made with fish which the dogs really like. I can put it on the kibble and they dig right in. Also has the joint supplements added so it's great for fat and old dogs lol!

A fare substitute for Hills M+M can
By Penny on Feb 10, 2021
Our little girl has been on the Hills M+M can for about two years now. She really likes it and the formula works on helping her ACL issues. Unfortunately the supply ran out, so we tried Blue Buffaloes can. First off the odor is bad . But, it does seem to do the job and our little girl will eat it with no problems. Not sure what all the ingredients are, but they could improve the smell on this product. We also liked the fact that the Hills is a stew. Where BB is more of a paste consistency. Not a bad product but could use some improvement.

Trying new prescription can food
By Food on Apr 27, 2021
My dogs have grown tired of prescription science diet canned food so we are trying this one. They seem to perk up & look forward to eating again!

She LOVES it
By Ellasmom on Jan 18, 2021
My dog has refused to even taste every weight management / diet food I have put before her until this one. She won't even eat the kibble version of this food, but she absolutely LOVES the canned. She is the ultimate picky eater/spoiled child and if she loves it, yours will too!

Good brand and a good buy
By Nysa on Feb 23, 2021
Nysa is somewhat picky but she likes this food. It’s a pate which is her favorite. I’ll buy it again.

Fishy smell, but good
By DolphinLady on Aug 13, 2019
I have 2 chihuahua's that are very picky about their food and even with that they have gotten fat. My vet suggested a diet food, but I wanted to stay with the Blue brand as it had been very good for us. I decided on this RX for weight & joints as my oldest has hip & joint issues. It has a fishy smell, but even my youngest is eating both meals per day now. Thank you Blue.

Finicky eater devours this food!
By EvelynG on Jul 16, 2019
Our dog is not food motivated, has digestive problems, must eat low protein foods. He was on Hill w/d caned plus a probiotic, and the vet switched us to Blue which includes probiotics and mobility support ingredients which is a plus now that he is older. Only negative is the food smells like dead fish, but the dog loves it!
