Blue Buffalo has pledged $500,000 to community organizations in the Los Angeles area in support of pet families impacted by the wildfires.

“Loving pets as family and helping pet families thrive is central to everything we do at Blue Buffalo,” said Liz Mascolo, president, North America Blue Buffalo. “BLUE’s partners in the Los Angeles area are working tirelessly to help pet parents impacted by the devastating wildfires. We stand ready to support their critical work with the food, supplies and funds to help keep pets healthy and pet families together as they recover and rebuild.”
