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 have tried my kitten (now 8 months old) on several different dry foods. I review and assess each one for ingredients (the #1 ingredient has to be meat), quality of ingrdients (nutrients/antioxidents), overall good ratings/reviews, and price (I can only afford to pay so much). My kitten LOVES THIS FOOD! He's so funny. When I fill up his bowl - he is a free feeder - he runs to it and inhales mouthfuls like he's a dog! This was the first dry food I got him and I'm back to it after trying several others. I believe I'll stick with it now that I've tried several others.

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 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.

My kitten had been eating wet cat food at the humane society because she was so small. I had a hard time weaning her off of it because she wouldn't eat the other two brands that I tried. I finally ordered this brand from Chewy and she loves it. She is growing, healthy, happy and all around doing well!

My cat has been eating this food since he was 3 months old! Every time he here's the bad he runs for it! Even when it comes in the mail he rubs all over the bag. He is a very healthy cat, shiny coat and growing perfectly! Planning on keeping him on this kitten food until he's a year old!

My kittens seem to like this a lot. Wasn't crazy about a couple other brands I tried. Only problem with this order, the bag was ripped and a lot of my canned food I bought was dented. No packing material at all.

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 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.
