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 love this food I started feeding it to my then 6 month old kitten now 9 months after using IAMs kitten food because her poop smelled and she wouldn't eat a lot of it...but when switching to blue she eats like a champ! Her stomach problems are gone no more diarrhea! When I got her she was malnourished and the runt of her litter but you could never tell after being on this food. Its changed my kitty's tummy and coat and she just loves it. Im very pleased we'll be staying on blue when she goes to adult food in a month!

My 3 month old kitten, Meeko, and I love this food! When it is his supper time, he meows and meows and just cant wait! I mix about 1/4 cup of this food with 1/3 of the Blue Buffalo Healthy Gourmet kitten entrée wet food in the 3 oz can and he chows down all while purring very loudly. Meeko gives it 5 stars for taste! I give it 5 stars because his fur is noticeably softer and he looks like a healthy, growing boy! I'm very happy with Blue Buffalo and Chewy.com.

So my order arrived today and my kitten was literally trying to chew through the bag to get to the food, that is how bad she wanted this food. So I gave her some and my boyfriend said that she was woofing it down. I trust this brand and feel good about feeding it to her. I'm really hoping that this food will help her gain some weight. She only weighs 2 pounds.

Our kitten Osha (whose actually an adult but refuses to act like one) would not eat any hard food. She only wanted to eat Sheba wet food and mama's milk. I ordered this as a special treat for the mama and we caught Osha eating it! Since then she has gotten healthier and not picky at all.

We buy Blue Buffalo for all of our pets. They have all natural ingredients and my cats love it. Since my female Silver Persian has a heart murmur we keep them on Kitten Food. They are healthy at 7 years old and act like kittens. I trust Blue Buffalo for my cats and dogs.

This kibble does not look nor smell very appealing. (It's not a strong smell, just not an appetizing one) I wanted my cat to like this because it was healthy kitten food but she rarely ate much when I would give it to her. I ended up having to blend it with Kitten Chow (the yellow bag, I forget the name) just so I could finish the bag.

I'd heard so much positive about Blue Buffalo, and was eager for my kitten to have it. However, she's ambivalent about it. Will eat a little of it, but not as much as I thought she would. Wouldn't recommend it. Sorry.

I used to own a dog who would only eat Blue Buffalo food so when I got my 2 kittens I knew I wanted to feed them the brand also. They love it and I love that it's not full of junk so I feel good giving it to them

I always thought blue buffalo was a little over rated. But after trying several different foods for my kittens this one is a clear favorite. Some others made their poo stink, some other higher priced foods they ate but left crumbles in their dishes that were apparently inedible in their eyes. Wasting 1/4 of a bag. I tried this and it appears to be the bees knees. They both immediately ate it all up. Couple bags later they still don’t leave those inedible crumbles. And no stinky poo.

I am only giving this 3 stars for the sheer fact we haven’t been using it too long. So far my kitten, willow, seems to enjoy this food. I have yet to see any adverse reactions from it.
