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.

Prescription Kidney Diet
By TerrierLover on Jun 28, 2020
At 14 yrs old my Norwich Terrier was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease. I tried Science Diet lamb kibble first, she wouldn’t eat it. I even added canned Science diet KD upon my Vets recommendation, still no luck. Norwich never miss a meal so this was disturbing. After a week of adding different Science diet KD wet food And every combination available I ordered Blue Buffalo’s Kidney support kibble. My dog immediately ate the food dry with nothing added. She is back to eating like has for 14 yrs. and it’s such a relief

Dogs like it
By Great on Jun 13, 2020
I have 2 senior, canine kidney disease dogs. Both started on a vet-prescribed diet and ate it "ok", but without enthusiasm. After a few weeks, both stopped eating the food. I searched for options and found this on Chewy. I ordered a small bag to try it. Both dogs LOVED this food and ate it willingly. This kibble looks and smells MUCH better than the one originally prescribed by the vet (not the vet's fault, she suggested one to try and said we could try others). It's now been about a month and the dogs are still eating this food with gusto.

she likes it!
By mlcp on Jul 1, 2020
my 15+ year old dog hated her new prescription kidney dog food and lost 3 pounds in two weeks, . My vet said to try to add rice, pasta etc, which she normally will eat. She lost another 3 pounds from not eating the next 2 weeks. After researching on my own I decided to try BB KS. So glad I did. She will eat this straight out of the bag and want more!

Troika loves this food!
By Bonnie on May 11, 2020
My miniature American Eskimo Dog, Troika, had some elevated kidney levels in his blood 2 weeks ago. His vet recommended a KS diet, so we switched from Blue Buffalo Healthy weight to their Natural KS kibble and canned food. Troika is 14.5 years old and still lively, and likes the food. We have had him on Blue Buffalo most of his life. Their foods are good, no animal by-products, no dyes, no grain.

My dog loves this food!
By doggie on May 3, 2020
I have a 2 year old Golden who has issues with his kidneys. To ward off any more damage, we chose to put him on a kidney diet. The first one had lots of grain in it. I do not feed any of my animals grain. I searched in Chewy and found this one. He loves it!! Worth every penny.

Made my elderly dog eat again
By izzysammy on Mar 16, 2020
Our elderly dog was extremely picky with food but she needed to be on a special diet. It was tough to ever find something she liked but she loved this food. If we put the canned food on top of it she would eat it even more.

My boy loves it.
By Celldogstacey on Mar 16, 2020
The food change agreed with his system right off the bat. He eats it with gusto. We did see an improvement in Kidney function/numbers 30 days so we will continue with this food and his medications.

Great product
By Koji on Feb 20, 2020
My dog was recently diagnosed with kidney failure. The recommended dog foods all had rice in them but my dog is allergic to rice. I was so glad when I found this dog food that will help with his kidneys and is grain free. And he likes it!

Worked wonders for Kidney Disease
By Gunnar on Dec 3, 2019
Gunnar's had early stages of Kidney disease at six years old when we changed his diet to this food. We also gave him a supplement available without a prescription. Over the first six months on the new diet his blood work dropped dramatically. CREA went from 1.9 to 1.5mg/dl, and BUN went from 29 to 20 mg/dl. His prognosis has improved dramatically and hopefully he will have a normal life expectancy.
