Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow a 7 to 14-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. For a 14-day transition plan, start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Days 1-4. On Days 5-8, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Days 9-11, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Days 12-14, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

| Days 1-4 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 5-8 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 9-11 | 25% | 75% |

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.

New Diet is good.
By Squirt on Jan 15, 2021
After several attempts to get a diet food for Layla the Vet and Chewy got on the same wavelength. Problem resulted from our end with name identification. Layla has been raised on Blue Buffalo food, this time she was found to be overweight, so everyone felt she should go on a diet. We turned to Blue Buffalo diet food and needed our Vets OK. It’s working well, she’s lost a few pounds and is eating the food as though she’d been on it all her life, she cleans her food up each meal. We’re satisfied with results so far, food has proved satisfying for her and you’d never know we’ve changed.

Extremely Excellent Service
By Bleu on Jan 12, 2021
Almost ran out of food for my Diabetic fur baby and Chewy’s came to the rescue while on vacation. They had the food delivered within one day at no extra charge. This was a prescription diabetic dog food. I was stressed out and customer service was extremely knowledgeable with their states and warehouses. My vets online pet food service couldn’t even respond this fast. I tried and didn’t get the care and human response I got from Chewy. Ty

Dogs love it; best quality ingredients for a urinary specific food I could find
By Lilyfood on Jan 12, 2021
My dog was recently diagnosed with crystals in her urine and my vet prescribed a competing food. Upon researching its ingredients I was surprised to see how low quality they were. This seemed to be the only high quality specific food I could find. Given it had the Blue name I trust it, and my dog does too.

my dog loves this food
By TnTnL on Jul 27, 2020
my dog has been getting bladder stones. she's had two operations to remove them. the vet has started her on this food and so far so good. my dog LOVES to eat and this is the only thing she is allowed, so i put a few cups of this dog food in a big bowl and mix it with boiling water and let it set to soften and cool and put it in the fridge, and use it as her breakfast and her treats, while we leave a bowl of hard food out for her during the day. she has lost two pounds and is still able to have her "treats".

The pounds come off!
By APL16 on Jul 4, 2020
Our 3-year old Lab was getting overweight despite plenty of exercise and the vet recommended this food. In 6 weeks, he's lost 5 pounds with this being the only change to his diet. He loves it and we're very happy with the results. Chewy contacted the vet directly for authorization since a prescription is required. Very convenient!

Prescription Dog Food
By Hobey on Feb 23, 2020
This review is based on Hobey's inhalation of his new prescription dog food. Due to a recurrent urinary tract infection this winter, our Vet recommended this food to help with his condition. Being a Lab, food is paramount to him!! It is also supposed to assist with weight loss; the verdict is not in yet on that issue.....

Easy Transition and he loves it
By KarlaLV on Feb 7, 2020
We switched our Cushing’s boy from the Prescription Diet food to this one as Blue Buffalo cooks their food at lower temps which is so much better for the pups. It was an easy transition! No upset stomach and he gobbles it right up! We also love that it helps control weight because it’s essential for his Cushing’s and our boy loves to eat!
