    We have three dogs, Roxy, our sassy Border Collie Roxy, Lincoln, our handsome and strong German Shepherd, and Marilyn, our firecracker Jack Russell Chihuahua mix. Our dogs are our children and a part of our pack. We treat them like family because they are family. Feeding our dog children a high-quality diet is extremely important to us. They need to eat as healthy as we eat. Did you know that Blue Buffalo® Dog Food is now available at Walmart? This makes it easy for all pet parents to purchase high-quality dog food at an affordable price.

    Not only is it wonderful news that Blue Buffalo® Dog Food is now available at Walmart but Blue Buffalo® and Walmart have partnered Sierra Delta to help supply service dogs to veterans. This cause is very important to our family as my husband and brother-in-law are former and current military.

    Blue Buffalo® donates money to help supply service dogs to veterans. Buy any BLUE Life Protection Formula™ or BLUE Wilderness™ dry food during the month of November and Blue Buffalo® will donate $1 for every small bag of food sold, up to $275,000, to Sierra Delta Service Dogs for Heroes. These donations and your purchase of any BLUE Life Protection Formula™ or BLUE Wilderness™ will help veterans be paired with service dogs and will help large-breed dogs be paired with a companion.

    The service dog and veteran partnership is a very important cause and close to my heart. You can learn more about the wonderful partnership between Blue Buffalo®, Walmart, and Sierra Delta here.

    Veterans need a life companion they can count on and Sierra Delta helps make that relationship happen. With my husband being former military, we see the huge benefit of service dogs and veterans being paired together. My brother-in-law served two terms in Iraq and had military dogs at his side during his service and has spoken openly about how imperative it is for veterans to be paired with service dogs after their terms. This relationship not only helps the veterans and the dogs adjust to a new life together but helps their family members as well.

    Did you know only 1 in 150 vets in need of service dogs are currently matched? Due to high administrative barriers and red tape, many veterans do not even know they can be paired with a service dog. Current service programs are costly and there are only a few qualified training organizations with inconsistent and unfeasible options for both veterans and dogs in need. Those who are enrolled in programs lack the proper support they need as well as the engagement and community they need after their initial training is completed.

    Sierra Delta is on a vital mission to help support more veterans by partnering them with trained canine companions. This cause is so important to me because I struggle with an extreme anxiety disorder and I was able to get Roxy, my Border Collie certified as an emotional support dog. Humans need support and veterans especially need the support of properly trained canine companions.

    Sierra Delta can help provide veterans and dogs with the support they both need by increasing access to dogs that are available and improving efficiency once the pairing process begins.
    Sierra Delta’s
    goal is to help bring veterans and dogs together and eliminate the unnecessary euthanization of large breed adoptable rescue dogs and instead help pair them with our military heroes.

    By purchasing
    BLUE Life Protection Formula™ and the Blue Wilderness™
    for your furry family members, you could make a difference and help dogs and veterans in need.

    You can purchase the
    BLUE Life Protection Formula™ and the Blue Wilderness™

    Our dogs each have their own dietary needs. Lincoln, our high-energy young German Shepherd has to be on grain-free food because of his skin allergies so we opt for the BLUE Wilderness™ High Protein Grain Free Natural Adult Dry Dog Food in the Chicken flavor. Lincoln loves that BLUE Wilderness™ is made with high-quality meats because he’s basically a wolf, and BLUE Wilderness™ has high-quality meat that pets were born to love because they are carnivores naturally and need a protein-rich diet. BLUE Wilderness™ comes in flavors like chicken, duck, lamb, beef, bison, and salmon.

    One of the important things we love about BLUE Wilderness™ and BLUE Buffalo Life Protection Formula™ is is they are made without chicken or poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, or soy, and there are NO artificial flavors or preservatives.

    Roxy, our Border Collie is a senior pup so it’s essential that she gets the proper nutrition her vibrant body needs. We picked up BLUE Life Protection Formula™ in the chicken flavor from Walmart and we love it because it’s made with high-quality meats and proteins and natural ingredients along with enhanced vitamins and minerals.

    Roxy also loves that BLUE Life Protection Formula™ is made with wholesome whole grains, garden veggies, and fruit and contains their antioxidant-rich LifeSource Bits®. We also love that BLUE Life Protection Formula™ is made with Glucosamine and chondroitin which are essential for senior dogs and large-breed dogs because it supports their joint health and mobility. Roxy is my trail running partner so I feel comforted knowing that she’s getting the proper nutrition for her growing needs.

    Marilyn, our Jack Russell Chihuahua mix is our spunky little dog and she’s a small breed so we purchased BLUE Life Protection Formula™ Natural Adult Small Breed Dry Dog Food in the chicken and brown rice flavor. I love that it’s made with a precise blend of protein and carbohydrates for smaller breeds that supports her high energy needs. Marilyn is always wagging her tail!

    Each of the Blue Buffalo® formulas comes in wet and dry dog food formulas so you have many options to choose from!

      It feels really saddening when veterans have a hard time coping with PTSD. I'm glad we support them :))
