Blue Buffalo announced on Apr. 28 the launch of BLUE Nudges Minis, a new line of bite-sized dog treats available this summer. The treats are designed to let dogs of all sizes enjoy mealtime moments with their families, featuring smaller versions of the popular BLUE Nudges flavors.
The introduction comes as grilling season begins, offering pet owners an option to include their dogs in seasonal celebrations. Anna Thayer, Brand Manager for Blue Buffalo Treats at General Mills, said, “Pets today are members of the family in every way, and they deserve to enjoy something that tastes like it came right off the grill, in a way that’s safe for them. Our new BLUE Nudges Minis give dog parents even more ways to show their love, without having to compromise on quality or ingredients. Inspired by that mini ‘nudge’ you get from your furry family member, BLUE Nudges Minis offer a mouthwatering treat for your pup when the entire family is gathered for a delicious backyard cookout.”
BLUE Nudges Minis come in flavors such as Chicken Jerky, Steak Grillers and Chicken Pot Pie. The products are made with 100% USA beef and chicken and contain no artificial flavors or preservatives. They are now available both online and in stores.
