They eat like me since I have food allergies and it shows all round (my golden retriever boys and female boxer🌈🌈🌈) and it’s my rescued yellow Labrador retriever boy now because he’s a sensitive stomach plus he gets added natural food like peas and carrots and green beans and bananas and blueberries and strawberries slices added with a splash of pumpkin purée. Love getting rewards for products since I am a Buddy program and my boy is named Boomer.👋🦮🥰 ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-10-28* I’ve used Blue Buffalo exclusively for the past 10-12 years. All of my dogs did really well on it. (3 prior to the 2 I have now). I had always wondered what the little ‘card’ was that came in the bags until one day I actually took the time to find out! The Buddies app is great! There is lots of pet parent stuff to learn about, a great community space, as well as rewards to be earned that can be redeemed for Blue Buffalo treats, food, toys, etc. it’s an easy to use app and I’ve had no issues with it at all. ### 5/5 — My dogs love the blue puppy food! *2023-10-23* I had fed Eukunuba for fifteen years or more. I have tried to change due to the cost keeps going up. But my spoilt little furbabies would had bad poo, or refused to eat anything else. About a month ago a friend showed me a bag she had just purchased . Loved the list of ingredients, so I bought some it was a hit!!! My babies love it. No rooting around in bowl dumping half out to find a piece they will eat, they eat every piece of blue dry puppy food, no bad poo’s, love the price. From now on my babies are blue babies!!! ### 5/5 — AMAZING FOR ALL PET PARENTS OUT THERE *2023-06-10* It’s so amazing I love it it’s so easy to use and very fun you can track your dogs health diet and medical info I would highly recommend for anyone out there looking to make dog parenting a little easier my favorite feature is the entries that you can make they are so amazing and fun to make also very simple and easy it helps me and my dogs keep to a nice balanced schedule and you can add pictures with the entries to!!!! I would highly recommend this app!!! ### 5/5 — Only Brand I Trust When It Comes To Dog Food *2023-04-28* I’ve been buying Blue Wilderness since my GSD was a puppy. I can tell the quality of the food when I see how shiny his coat is, when compared to owners who use the “40$ for 50lbs of dog food” brands, or even his lack of illness. I’m a firm believer that if you start from feeding your dog right, you can likely save a lot more money if a health concern came up from buying inexpensive and paying it to a vet. I saved to be able to afford a dog that I can feed this to and have never regretted it. Their rewards system is the best, HANDS DOWN. To get him treats for just buying great-quality food is a win-win-win. Thanks Blue Wilderness! ### 3/5 — Good app, but disappointed with reward system. *2023-04-15* I have switched my dogs’ food to Blue as I’ve been hearing nothing but good things. So, I have been buying their products for a few months and noticed that they do points and rewards - this brought me great joy. I saw that if I save up enough, I could potentially earn the 12 count cans of wet dog food. Over time, I kept buying and earning as much as I could. When I had enough, I saw that they sold out and it was no biggie at the moment as I understand that many other pet owners are depending on that reward. Then I saw that it was still sold out for 3+ weeks. I was kinda bummed out that there was no restock anytime soon, so I thought that maybe I’ll just look again next time or later on. Just now, I saw that they completely removed the reward - I’m beyond disappointed. I have worked so hard with barely any money to purchase the best for my pups and to earn what I can to get to that 12 can of wet dog food reward. But no, it was almost for nothing and the rewards for the dogs seem to be a joke - the cats are getting better rewards! I’m struggling with a job and trying to pay off this medical bill that I can’t even afford, now I’m struggling to get the best dog food for my babies. Please do better guys. ### 5/5 — Suzie puppy *2023-03-18* I’m an older person. When I had children I had boxers, in fact the last one I had, lived to be 22 years old and raised my last child. Princess was family a very loved pet, that returned all the love and patience any one could want, more than was ever expected. Haven’t had a pet since we buried her. I live on the farm, where I was born and Princess is buried here too. This child she raised is the reason I have Suzie one+ years old, been mistreated and was never trained to do anything , a real hand full, but loves to be loved, we are doing much better, she has been with me almost 4 months, we had trouble finding a dog food she would eat, someone recommended Blue and that was the answer, loves the treats. Blue was a big deal at our house. The child that Princess raised is, now 46 years old , late child in life, but Princess raised a wonderful young woman, a blessing in many lives. Suzie is developing her own live style ,with my help, but she is very lovable. Thank you for Blue Brenda ### 5/5 — Blue buffalo buddies *2023-03-15* I found using blue buffalo products has been so beneficial for my cats and my dogs. I left behind the cheap big bags of food got the blue buffalo started feeding them better their coat started getting shinier they had more energy. It’s the best product that I found aside from when I actually chop up vegetables and fruit for them to eat, keep up the good work with buddies I think it’s a fantastic way to keep clientele and thank them for being loyal. Have a wonderful day. ### 5/5 — Best training treats *2023-02-15, version 1.10.1* Boomer just started his training at the humane society. I bought the training treats to use in class. After his first class I immediately went to purchase more training treats. Boomer loved the treats and did ever asked to do to keep getting them. He aced his first class and we’re looking forward to more with his buffalo training treats! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-02-14, version 1.10.1* Is great I buy my dog food and I didn’t know about the app until a maybe 2 week ago I find out about coupon I can scan I had some stash and I scan them i I got my first item for my dog very happy ## Frequently asked questions about Buddies ### What does the Buddies app do?
