Blue Buffalo

And we can’t forget about our furry family members!

Blue Buffalo is expanding its seasonal offering this year from Santa Snacks Biscuits to an entire line of delicious treats that captures the fun and excitement of having a pet during the holidays.

“We know that pets play an important role during family holiday moments,” says Pascal Rahardjo, consumer marketing manager, Blue Buffalo. “For holidays during the pandemic, family pets are likely to play an even larger role than usual, given that typical traditions and large family gatherings may not be possible. That’s why we wanted to offer more treat options for pet parents.”

This year’s offerings include Santa Snacks Biscuits AND Bits – both available in fun Christmas shapes and flavors dogs love; a treats holiday pack featuring BLUE Bits Chicken, BLUE Sizzlers and BLUE Stix Beef; a small breed exclusive holiday pack featuring BLUE Delights; and fun seasonal packaging for BLUE’s best-selling dog treats (BLUE Bits, BLUE Health Bars, and BLUE Sizzlers).
