Mississauga, Ontario, Canada General Mills Canada Full time

Blue Buffalo (BLUE), is one of the strongest and most recognized pet food brands in America, and the undisputed leader in Wholesome Natural pet food, the fastest-growing segment of the market.

At over four times the size of the next largest brand in this segment, BLUE has become the new mainstream brand that's delivering products that pet parents are looking for and connecting with them in a true, authentic way.

BLUE thinks of dogs and cats as family members and believes their food should be natural and healthy. In fact, this was the motivation for the Bishop Family's decision to create the Blue Buffalo Company.

When the beloved Bishop family dog, Blue, faced a variety of health issues, Bill and his two sons, Billy and Chris, set out to create a pet food that was made with only the highest quality natural ingredients—the kind of things a family member deserves.

Fifteen years later BLUE has, in many ways, accomplished what the Bishops set out to do—help our dogs and cats live happy, healthy lives.


BLUE has a broad portfolio of natural pet foods, enabling pet parents to satisfy their pet's specific dietary, lifestyle, and life-stage needs, offering them no-compromise product solutions.
