I bought cans of their Blue Buffalo Homestyle Recipe Adult Beef Dinner with Garden Vegetables and I opened FOUR different cans and they all had what looks like lavre in the can. I have given them several days to respond to my concerns. What is wrong with the food? I spend a lot of money on their products and I need to know what the issue is.Customer response

On 4/28/2024 I purchased 3 bags of blue buffalo life protection formula dog food.I am a disabled veteran and live alone with my GSD service dog. Upon pouring the first bag into my dogs bowl I noticed 2 worm like moist objects. I contacted blue buffalo customer service and emailed the rep photos of the objects along with the product bar code and all requested documentation.The rep informed me she had no idea what the objects were. She also would not replace or exchange them.Blue buffalo could care less.She also said my call would not be returned. I was forced to trash the 3 bags purchased from ******.This is no way to treat a disabled veteran who also a senior citizen on a fixed income. TrulyInitial Complaint

My dog got sick from eating Blue Buffalo dog food, I tried to resolve this matter with Blue Buffalo, but they have stated that the information provided from my dog's vet was not sufficient to receive a refund for the vet visit which is all I'm asking for. My dog has not had any gastrointestinal issues yet once we started giving him this dog food, he started having stomach issues (diarrhea and not eating) as i stated in the claim form that I submitted to Blue Buffalo. If my dog didn't have these stomach issues due to the food I wouldn't have to pay this unnecessary vet bill. All I'm asking is for the company to be fair. But since they have an in-house veterinarian who is hired by their company, I expected them to be biased. So, I'm here asking for help with this matter.Initial Complaint

I’ve been buying this companies food for a while. I have spent thousands over the past few years buying their dog food. Up until the last six months I’ve been on the same schedule as far as how often I buy the food. As of late I’m buying more and more often. So I’ve weighed the last three bags. Each one has been a little over half a pound short. 14.4-14.6lbs per bag. The bags claim they’re 15lbs.Customer response

I participated in a program run by Blue Buffalo wherein purchasing $55 or more of Blue Buffalo dog food products thru BJ's would earn the customer a $15 digital reward. I sent all the information to the text number (811811) according to all the instructions and they never fullfilled this for me. I have texted them several times and they just do nothing. I want my $15 digital reward. This is not a reputable company.Initial Complaint
