Returning product. Have purchased exact same Blue Buffalo dry food for past 14 year with zero health concerns. Decided use Chewy b/c of coupon code in mail. Since using this product batch, dog has loose stool and throwing up past 2 weeks. Not good. Will be returning and not use Chewy again.
Ingredients that are healthy for my German Shepherd, Jetta!
Jetta went from another 'famous brand' right to Blue Buffalo. It has taste, vitamins and nutrition hands down. I wish I had switched sooner. She loves the kibble
Jetta went from another 'famous brand' right to Blue Buffalo. It has taste, vitamins and nutrition hands down. I wish I had switched sooner. She loves the kibble and I am so happy with the 15 lb. bags. (I have scoliosis and cannot lift anything bigger than that (I actually shove/push it into the laundry room!) Thank you for all you do for me and my best friend, who will be 12 years old 2026!

Our 15 year-old Golden Retriever KC has been on Blue Buffalo diet for many years. When our second Golden Retriever Buddy reached age 2, we started him on the same blue buffalo lamb and rice diet. They are both very healthy and very active. We love having it delivered to our doorstep by Chewy.

I have had Blue Buffalo chicken for several years for my fur baby, the last bag I received, something has happened to it!! My dog's stool turned BLACK! and loose. What is going on??? Why do the manufactures change their product????
Something Changed

I've had my dog on this food for 4 years. We ran out a few weeks ago and I purchased a new bag as I always do. Except this time, something was different. The kibble looked smaller and I noticed that my dog started vomiting frequently and having soft, almost diarrhea-like poops. I thought it was just this bag...Went to another store and purchased a bag from the back. The kibble looked much better, just like it used to. No more vomiting and the poops returned to normal. We ran out again. I repurchased from Chewy. The kibble looked off again and my dog's been throwing up and pooping liquid ever since. She barely even eats anymore. Switching to another brand. They clearly changed the formula for the worse. Such a shame.
Blue is the best!

My dogs used to enjoy eating Blue Buffalo, with this last bag, they won't eat it. I don't know what has changed about their formula. I gave them 2 stars because it used to be good.
Love the brand but my puo not fond of chicken generally
Probably not fair to give 4 stars as my dog prefers beef to chicken. Love the brand and ingredients list. Just did not work out for us. I do use Blue Buffalo
Probably not fair to give 4 stars as my dog prefers beef to chicken. Love the brand and ingredients list. Just did not work out for us. I do use Blue Buffalo in beef flavor for her as an FYI. So try different flavors to see what they like in this brand
