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.

Harley is a Blue Merle Australian Shepherd two months short of 17. His Agility days are over but he is still in good health and still has his strong trot on our morning mile walks, largely due to my wife who raise trained and showed dogs for 25 years and exercised the dogs every day and fed them top-quality food. I would put Blue Buffalo in that category, and Harley agrees. As soon as I get the bag of food out he starts barking at me, hurry up. And then he attacks it when I put it down. Good food and obviously tastes great. Attached are a couple of photos, including one at his last she purred and show where he won the ribbon for highest points and show.

I have been ordering from Chewy for quite a while. They are great about communicating and product quality. However, the shipping condition is hit and miss. Sometimes it’s great but on several occasions the box is poorly taped or almost completely open when it arrives.

Older Ridgeback with sensitive stomach

I have an 8 yr old Ridgeback with a very sensitive stomach so I almost did not try this product but since i am having issues with getting what she normally eats, i know i need to make a change. She has been on the same dog food all her life. My vet and i tried every dog food possible and she could only tolerate 1. I tried 1/2 cup at first of blue buffalo and she loved it and she had no problems with it. I compared it to my current more expensive brand and the ingredients of blue buffalo were almost like what i take for myself each day! Glucosamine, Chondroitin, prebiotic fiber, calcium , phosphorus, de boned beef, l-carnitine , vitamin e, omega 3 , omega 6, vitamin c and other minerals and vitamins. So, I have canceled my autoship and ordered 60 lbs of the blue buffalo. Thank you

Blue Buffalo for dogs 7+

My senior pups seemed to like the taste of this food. Some of the pieces are a little big, one of my older dogs (like many senior dogs) has had multiple teeth removed

My senior pups seemed to like the taste of this food. Some of the pieces are a little big, one of my older dogs (like many senior dogs) has had multiple teeth removed in the past due to dental issues, and she had some trouble eating the bigger pieces. The bag is resealable, which I find to be very convenient.

Lower Protein

3 elder dogs approve of the taste. The lower protein is easier on older dogs major organs but I'm a bit leary on how low though, at 18%. I'll be discussing it with

3 elder dogs approve of the taste. The lower protein is easier on older dogs major organs but I'm a bit leary on how low though, at 18%. I'll be discussing it with my veterinarian when we see her again. I have concerns about potential muscle wasting. I know there's a fine line between the amount of protein necessary to keep dogs with different health issues, healthy.

Great choice for seniors and others

Well I got this dry dog food for my 12 year old little yorkie boy. We mixed it with his wet food from chewy and my boy ate his meal a little too fast. I’m happy

Well I got this dry dog food for my 12 year old little yorkie boy. We mixed it with his wet food from chewy and my boy ate his meal a little too fast. I’m happy that it’s specifically for seniors but I gave my other dogs some and they loved it too.

My dog loves this food.

We received this to try and My dog lives it. She is a 102 year old Chihuahua and has been eating fresh dog food and gaining too much weight. We fed her this food and so far she is down one lb in the first month. She waits for the bowl to hit the ground and eats like there’s no tomorrow. She loves it and is getting back to a healthy weight so what more could I ask for?

This kibble smells so great. My dogs loved it. I think this is a great quality product and even my picky eater ate it with enthusiasm. Definitely smells much better

This kibble smells so great. My dogs loved it. I think this is a great quality product and even my picky eater ate it with enthusiasm. Definitely smells much better than any other dry kibble I've ever served my dogs. I feel good about feeding them Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula. My 15 year old Toby especially loves it, and cleans the bowl dry every time.

I was so surprised when my 5 fussy eaters actually ate this kibble. (well one isn't fussy so she got the most). The ingredients are good for all my dogs except my diabetic dog. Too carbohydrate rich for her but otherwise good fiber and balanced nutrition for the others.
