Buying growth General Mills bought Blue Buffalo in 2018. At the time, some industry watchers were concerned that the consumer staples giant overpaid for the company, which was the leading provider of healthy pet food.

Just a few things on Blue Buffalo.....PUPPY was right.

Unfortunately when shopping around the internet, I found blue Buffalo products had quite a few recalls.
Mine is a persnickity eater. She didn't like that brand and off our list.

Maybe they aren't picky after all. Maybe instinctively they know that stuff is bad.

Puppy was not having it. And he is not one to turn down food. Soon as I whipped him up some brown rice, butter beans, and quality beef, he scarfed that big old bowl down.

For God and Country, and the enlightenment and prosperity of humanity ; I still hold the fuckin line.
Blue Buffalo gave my cat severe pancreatitis and he almost died. Cats don't need carbs at all. He eats like a king now

Yep. Statistically NO fookin way their mass produced death stuff is good for our critters either. Think Fauci and Beagles, and kill shelters.

We make our dog food and have for several years. We've lost several dogs that meant the world to us, we want to give them the best chance. We use chicken, venison (when we have it), rice, carrots, spinach, broccoli, water and any thing else we think is good for them. Place it in the crock pot, cook it down. We've never actually priced what it costs, but really it's not expensive.

Yep this is in no way more expensive than their fako dog food.
