Blue Buffalo Company began like many foods, a pet with
health issues and owners who want to keep said pet healthy. Bill and Jackie
Bishop creators of Blue Buffalo and owners of the aforementioned dog named it
after their Airedale “Blue.” Blue Buffalo uses quality protein as the first
ingredient in each formula (Chicken, Lamb, and Fish). The interesting part of
Blue Buffalo and what makes them different from other quality pet foods is the
LifeSource bits. Which are as they put it “a precise blend of nutrients and
antioxidants that have been cold–formed for greater potency. Our exclusive
LifeSource Bits include a combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
that help maintain a healthy oxidative balance, support pets' immune systems
and provide support for their special life stage requirements.”[1]
The Company was started in 2002, and is based in
Connecticut. They offer a wide variety of products. Blue has a full line of dog
and cat foods, grain free options, canned dog and cat food, and a treat line
for dogs with added vitamins and minerals.
The Company has seen tremendous success in recent years, and
has grown into a top food in the retail market. Growth of this proportion can
be scary to consumers, but the company remains privately owned by Bill and Jackie
Bishop. They have done a lot of advertising and have really done a great job
with visibility in the pet food market. For now there is no reason to worry
about Blue as the owners’ number one priority still remains the pets! Their
slogan is “Love them Like family, Feed them like family.”
The company has been expanding their product line recently.
Blue offers numerous new dog and cat food varieties, and even released a new
cat litter recently.
