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 my cat more than my family. That is my reason for purchasing Blue Buffalo dry cat food. My baby had been eating another very popular leading brand which contained cereal and byproducts. Naturally I wanted the best for her. I introduced her to Blue Buffalo and took away the inferior brand. She approached her new food choice, took one sniff out of curiosity, and walked away. Normally she munches on her dry food 24/7. She eats a can of wet food daily at supper time. With her new dietary fare, she would only eat her wet food and turned her tail on the Blue Buffalo. This went on for one full week until her Daddy broke down and returned her to the inferior popular brand. The Blue Buffalo was I love my cat more than my family.

I'm trying to get my cats used to dry food (I only feed them wet food now), so I tried 4 brands at the same time: Blue Buffalo Adult Indoor Health, Earthborn Holistic Primitive Grain-Free Natural, 4Health Grain Free Whitefish Pea & Potato, and Taste of the Wild Canyon River Trout & Smoked Salmon. I put a cup of dry food from each bag into 4 bowls and waited... in the past 3 days, none of the cats even tried the Blue. They sniffed it and kind of recoiled like it was poison! In fact, even when I removed all the other bowls of dry food, they still wouldn't eat the Blue! Maybe they would like a different flavor. They went crazy for Taste of the Wild, and they also kind of liked Earthborn, and they I'm trying to get my cats used to dry food (I only feed them wet food now), so I tried 4 brands at the same time: Blue Buffalo Adult Indoor Health, Earthborn Holistic Primitive Grain-Free Natural, 4Health Grain Free Whitefish Pea & Potato, and Taste of the Wild Canyon River Trout & Smoked Salmon.

It's got good ingredients in it though, but I don't like that 2 kinds of meal, rice and barley are among the first few ingredients after chicken. … more

So, my two cats will eat just about anything but they hate this stuff! I have used other flavors of this brand and they loved it so I don't know why they won't touch this. I've tried to put water in it and they would (sometimes) taste a few pieces but they just wind up drinking the water and leaving the food there. I've tried mixing it with other food that I had and they will eat around this stuff. I have even tried to spray it with catnip spray and they will eat a few pieces (sometimes). Another thing I noticed was that there were very, VERY few lifesource bits (I think that's what they're called). It's a bummer, tho, because this is the 15lb bag and I can't afford to buy anything else till So, my two cats will eat just about anything but they hate this stuff!

Cat does not like this food at all. I bought it because of the reviews and I didn't want to give him the food he was eating before because the reviews I read from others were about making their animals sick. So now I have a huge back of cat food that he won't eat. I'm better off going to PetSmart or some other store where I can return it easily.

My cats seem to like the food, but the pieces are to small in size. It falls out of there mouth. Cats need to be able to chew which keeps there teeth healthy, but with the pieces being so small it looks like they just swallow it and more of it fall out of there mouth than goes down there throat. If I put 2 bowls of food next to each other, one with larger pieces and on with small pieces they seem to always eat the food that is large in size.

My cats have loved this food for a long while. This last shipment, even the wild outside cat would not touch it. Chewy sent me a new bag and again none of my cats will touch it. Two bags no cat will touch. I watched my rescue cat that thinks it is always time to eat walk up to the Blue feeder today and take a nibble, she stepped back and shook her head to drop the food and went over to the alternate food. It doesn't smell bad so no idea what is wrong. I dropped it from my next auto ship.

My cat all of a sudden stopped eating this food. She's gulped it down for years. I thought maybe it was the bag so I ordered another. The same thing she smells it and walks away. She's resorted to stealing the Yorkies food. I called Blue Buffalo sure enough they changed the formula. Now I am scrambling to find a new food for her.

We've used other food in the past; science diet, purina, Rachel Ray, etc. Once we got the new kitten I wanted to try something new. The price may be a little more than others but they seem to love it. My one cat has eye issues but I've noticed a significant difference once I switched. They Eat it right away and get excited when I fill the bowls again. Never any hair balls or skin issues. Others I know use the hairball control formula and also love it. Definitely recommend to others who are looking for a new food for their furry friends !

This seems to be a very healthy food. Love that it is small kibble. Great for cats to chew. I leAve this out for Bailey to nibble whenever he wants as I believe it is good for him. I love that Chewy offers the small bags as an option. It goes a long way and that way I don't have large bags that could get stale. Well done Chewy!!!

I have a rescue with several cats and several different needs. This food works for the whole lot! Plus they love it! I mix it with the prescription food for the older cats and the picky kids just love it too! Good choice!
