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.

Seems Good just wish it came in a larger bag
By Starla94 on Feb 11, 2021
I have a a housefull of kitties.. my personals and fosters.. I use the Same brand Sensitive food i get in a large bag for my all my babies and they love it but over the last few months they have been getting hairballs or sick more frequently so i thought i'd try this i would switch to it 100% but i currently mix with senstive food version cause this hairball one doesn't come in a large bag and i would have to buy 3 or so of these a month and its not cost effective.. It seems to have helped a bit i think would be better if i could feed it 100% so Requesting them to carry a Much larger bag like they do with the regular and sensitive foods.

Thumbs Up x6
By Calico3D on Jan 26, 2021
I have always had no luck with my 6 cats eating Blue Buffalo products. After my last two vet visits, it was recommended that they be put on some kind of weight management plan. I tried this and one other brand. They love this Blue Buffalo addition to their diet. Time will tell if it helps get their weight under control, but I am so glad they all like this.

She loves it
By RosiesMom on Feb 3, 2021
I’ve been feeding only canned food for years and recently lost my cat that only had two teeth. I decided to try some dry with canned for my remaining cat now and she loves it. I almost think she likes this too much because I use the canned to give her a supplement which is a powder so canned works well for that but now she doesn’t eat as much of the canned. As long as she is happy and healthy is all that matters.

Blue Buffalo Hairball & Weight Control Chicken + Brown Rice
By catlvr on Jan 16, 2021
Been using this Blue dry cat food since my cat was a kitten, started out with hairball formula only, now he's older I use the hairball/weight control formula. He likes this food along with partial cans of wet food daily. He's been healthy all his life and I plan to keep him on this brand.

Cats hate it- great for weight loss
By KCCC on Dec 2, 2020
My cats are pretty good at eating most foods. I mixed this with their Purina indoor dry, which what I had been feeding them to gradually introduce them. I chose to change to upgrade to a better quality food. I understand they need time to adjust. However it’s day 3 and they walk away leaving most of it untouched. Not sure if the food is old, something wrong in the manufacturing or what it is but they don’t like it. Great for weight loss if they don’t like it because it’s tasteless or has cheap ingredients. I’m switching back to Purina once the 2 bags I purchased are gone. Definitely not worth the extra cost. Not sure what the hype is all about but my 4 cats are not impressed.

Excellent New Choice
By Carlacat on Dec 30, 2020
My cats love this new dry food and it has so many good things to offer my darling pets...nutritionally sound and helps with weight management and hairballs as well. I always order Blue dry from Chewy.com ...a similar product and this one is new so gave it a try and its a real hit!!! Thanks and Happy New Year

Still a fat and very furry kitty.
By apinkparrot on Nov 25, 2020
At first my long haired kitty didn't care for the taste but now we're on our third bag and he seems to have developed a taste for it. I've tried several other brands and none of those have worked as well for us. I was cleaning up 3 or more hair pukes a week... now with this food it's only about once a week. This Blue Buffalo hasn't helped with his weight but it really has helped with far fewer hairballs for him to endure, and for me to pick up.

Great for hairballs!
By Sdguu on Dec 13, 2020
Wow! What a huge difference. I have 2 cats. One in particular was the hairball king. I hated being woken up by the sound of wretching. Or waking up to a mess. With this food, hairballs are virtually gone! I cant say that there is any change in my cats weight but that wasn't why I made the purchase.

Great change
By Susan on Jan 15, 2021
My boys have always eaten just the non diet of this brand. I switched them to this and they love it. Vet said one need to loose some weight. I love how this controls the hair balls.

Kitty food
By Karinjan1 on Jan 6, 2021
My kitties are picky eaters. One will eat food, the other won't or vice versa. But both do eat this. 1 is a fluffy-ball so this helps him a lot with hair!
