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.

I refer to this as their "old people cat food" & I hope it's not too bad for them, but my younger cats love this, too! Definitely recommend for the most finicky of cats! And they're staying healthy, as well!

I have one cat that will eat almost anything and one super picky cat that only ate fish pate and some fish flavored dry. Well this is chicken and the both LOVE it. They love it so much they prefer it over the wet food which is very unusual. I don't want to feed them so much dry though because we have had diabetic cats in the past and the can food has kept them healthier. Still, this is a great addition to change things up. My girls are 12 and 13 so I wanted something healthy for my old ladies.

My12 year old cat lost her teeth. I spent a year trying different things, including baby food. I settled on wet food with broth. It was okay, but she wasn't enthused. I got this kibble because of my ongoing attempt to give her some variety. She loves this - manages the small kibble just fine. Finally, she is putting some weight on.

Our cats loved this food, but since wehave 5 cats, I went with a brand that came in alarger size, and more reasonably priced.

They seem to enjoy this brand but also have Meow mix and the same Meow mix furball care. The meow mix is a lower price and does have cereals in it as the Blue was more pure. Well balanced is what you want, the cats will make the decision anyway.

I have three cats. Two of them are about 9 years old and one is a year or two younger. The older cats are fat and lazy. They don't over eat this food and seem to be doing well on it. The younger cat is very energetic but has food allergies and has been scratching her head again; so this may not be the right food for her. I'm still trying different brands and different blends to find one that works best for all three.

I just switched my 12 year old cat to Healthy Aging food. She seems more active and and really likes it. She was having some digestive issues for a bit. Since we switched her she hasn't had any problems. I also feed my dog Blue Buffalo.

Cat liked it but pieces way too small to be chewed so I won't purchase it again.. Just a personal preference. Don't understand why some dry foods have such small pieces. Cats need bigger pieces to chew for their teeth and gums and also to prevent over eating!!

Not pleasant to discuss, but we have searched high and low to find a cat food for our 17 year old male cat. He is thin and has a small amount of patchy hair loss on his neck. He has very foul soft stools. Changing the diet from science diet skin and digestion to this blue buffalo helped his stools become mostly solid, but hair loss was a tiny bit worse. The little patch grew about 1/2 an inch. He does not have any fleas and is an indoors only cat. This has been promising, but we still need to find the food allergy causing the hair loss. He loves the food so we will give it another try!
