About BLUE Buffalo
Blue Buffalo began with unconditional love and some furry inspiration from a large breed Airedale, Blue. When Blue's family started a pet food company, their vision was clear. They wanted every pet parent to be able to feed their pet with the same care they would feed family. So they created the #1 natural pet specialty food to help furry family members live happy, healthy lives. Of course, they named it after Blue.

Great ingredients! Cats love it
By Babie20925 on Oct 10, 2019
Love the ingredients. All natural nutrition. Our senior cat has grain allergies and this food is perfect for keeping her skin dandruff free and improving her disposition. The only draw back is how pricey this item is.

Not liked by any of my 13 feline friends!!!
By TBOC on May 5, 2019
My two old indoor cats wouldn't do any more than sniff at it and walk off. Nor will the feral cats that I feed on a regular basis. So, far the raccoons and opossums are the only takers. So, I have a nearly full bag left over. Will keep trying, but may have to give it to an animal shelter. Don't know why they don't like it, the pellets are small enough and smell okay to me. So, that is why I am not recommending this item.

Truly amazing!
By Julie on Mar 12, 2019
I have a kitty that has a very sensitive belly and also has major allergies to food - we tried Blue Freedom hoping it would help - she has not thrown up at all, she has stopped itching and she has gained 2 pounds in 3 months! I'm so excited and I know this will be her food for the rest of her life! Thank you for making a truly grain free product that cats actually love.

3 cats (8-17 years) love this!
By mamatek on Jan 29, 2019
We have two 17 year seniors and 1 overweight 8 year old. They all pretty much free-feed and although we’re working on getting them on a wet schedule, they love dry food. The two oldest had been raised on Nutro, and had previously eaten their senior indoor formula, but when the third cat was introduced, she gained too much weight and developed a uti. Although none of them are particularly picky eaters, all three took to this flavor immediately. Also one of my seniors has a tendency to get pukey during any changeover (and in general) but didn’t have any ill effects. If anything, she’s been puking less with this.

2 Happy Cats!!!!!
By cat10 on Apr 2, 2019
Both cats love this food. I have been trying to find food that they both will eat for a long time. One likes it so much she chewed a hole in the bag, so I taped it up tight. Thanks BB for a winner!
