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.

Rescue Mom
By Kitt on Aug 31, 2020
We just rescued a kitten from the shelter and he was on the thin side. The food they had him on didnt seem to satisfy him, so I switched to this one and he is really content. He's not eating all of it in one setting, his coat looks great and is soft, he seems to stay fuller on this then the purina one they had him on.

triplets mama
By Ernie on Aug 5, 2020
A mixed review due to the high calorie count. I have three kittens and only the most hyper didn’t get fat. The lower energy kitten got so fat so quick that I thought he had a blockage or tumor! The vet said this food is so rich that it should only be used for skinny, finicky, or sick kittens. She compared it to what an Olympic marathon runner should eat vs. a couch potato. Makes sense but now I have a fat boy needing a diet! Transitioning to an indoor adult formula as they are 10 months old now.

My Kitten LOVES It
By Alison on Aug 1, 2020
I was worried my cat wouldn't adjust well with the switch, so I ordered a smaller bag to start out with. BUT he literally ate it right out of my hand and then went to his bowl and chowed down the second I filled it! Will be continuing to feed him this food!

My kittens say”yummy”
By Catty on Aug 11, 2020
My kittens love this food and since they have been eating it their fur is nice and shiny, fur looks healthy. I feed my kittens a small can of kitten food once daily and leave this out so they can eat it at will, I know this food is what made their fur healthy because I just started the canned food. I do wish it wasn’t so pricey but you are what you eat.

The Bessttttt.
By LadyTrama on Sep 7, 2020
My two kittens, Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa, have been eating it since we brought them home no problem. The vet also said they have healthy shiny coats! Blue buffalo is one of my most trusted pet food brands.

my kittens sure love it
By FloridaCarol on Jul 31, 2020
My 2 kittens who are 3 months old are very good eaters. They do not seem finicky and will eat anything offered, but I know that Blue Buffalo has good ingredients and I choose to give them the best I can.

I'm glad I switched
By Tsuanami on Jul 25, 2020
My kitten loves this. I noticed him eating his dry food more after I switched to this one. I was feeding my kitten an inexpensive and less quality food before. I've noticed him growing faster. I also personally think it smells healthy and appetizing. I believe the cost is worth for the health of your kitty. I'm also excited to try Blue Wilderness grain-free for kittens after I finish this bag.

By bbhg on Oct 11, 2020

Kitten kept throwing it up. Also asked my vet tech friend and she said that Blue Buffalo is just empty calories anyhow.
