Did you know that about 82 percent of pet owners think of their pets as children. And they should. They want the best food, toys, camping gear, and treats for their four-legged friends.
But these things add up, so Blue Buffalo is launching the Love Made Fresh Dog Tax Credit, giving dog parents the chance to “write off” the cost of all things you buy for “man’s best friend.”
Ahead of Tax Day, dog parents can go to BlueBuffaloDogTaxCredit.com to “claim” their pup as a dog-pendent for the chance to win a $1,000 credit to put toward Love Made Fresh, Blue Buffalo’s new fresh dog food offering.

“Every tax season, we see pet parents asking questions about how to claim their dog on their taxes, like children, and since that’s not an option, we are stepping in to give credit for everyone who shows their four-legged family member unconditional love every day,” said Nicole Ayers, Business Unit Director of Growth Accelerators for North America Pet at General Mills. “The Love Made Fresh Dog Tax Credit is our way of helping pet parents continue loving and feeding their dog just like family.”
