Take a virtual tour of one of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities where quality and care are packaged alongside product.
This is where our products undergo a robust formulation, manufacturing and testing process to ensure they are nutritionally sound, safe, effective and compliant with all industry guidelines, including Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and the Global Nutrition Committee of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA). We invite you to watch our Richmond video tour where we peel back the label and literally show you the people and science behind our products.

Blue Buffalo sources the highest-quality and natural ingredients. Our sourcing protocols require screening of ingredients to meet all specifications. We identify quality suppliers who are screened, tested, certified and routinely audited to ensure consistently high quality.
Formulations
Under the guidance of our PhD animal nutritionists, veterinarians and food scientists, all Blue Buffalo diets are formulated using state-of-the-art software with up-to-date nutrient profiles on each ingredient, taking into account nutritional needs, specific manufacturing processes and shelf life.
