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. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old 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.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

She eats it!
By Madonna on Apr 7, 2021
Our 15 year old Siamese has stage 2 CKD and needs to eat a kidney attuned diet. Well... Try telling her that. We've tried every wet food variety and she won't eat more than a few bites, leaving me to throw away almost whole cans of costly food. We also tried another brand of kidney friendly kibble - no dice. The cat ended up back in the vet's office for a costly four day hospitalization. Our vet asked if we'd tried the Blue veterinary diet - truth is, I hadn't even heard of it. After another bout of trying to convert the cat to wet kidney food, wasting more food and money, we decided to try the Blue brand. She eats it! It's a success!

Kitties not thrilled with this one...
By Lilian on Apr 1, 2021
I was very happy to find a Kidney Diet food that is Natural... But sadly 'Super Senior Skitzo Cat' is not so amused with this food... I keep topping the food bowls off, and he keeps looking at me like I've done something wrong, hahaha... The other 2 kitties in the home also look at me rather annoyed when I give them this, so I'm guessing it doesn't taste too great... I was also inclined to buy this type of food, because it has glucosamine in it... I take that myself for joint aches and pains and would like my kitties to benefit from it as well. I hope this food works for other felines that are less picky?...

Love Blue Buffalo
By Jules on Mar 30, 2021
I recently found that BB has a renal care food that is also grain free. It also has a glucosamine complex for joint care. I have 2 elderly cats, 16 and 18, where my vet prescribed one of the highly recommended brands but it contained ingredients such as corn meal, etc that I had previously taken my cats off of. Now I'm excited to be feeding them a healthy food thats right for them.

Finally my cat likes her prescription food!
By MrsM on Feb 6, 2021
Wow, it's been a long and expensive journey. I tried all the brands my vet recommended. Her Majesty (my cat, not her real name) tolerated one of the dry versions, none of the wet. Recently she only nibbled at the one dry food she would eat and started to lose some weight. I gave Blue Buffalo a try and she loves it! There was some pushback from my vet about grain-free food *possibly* leading to heart issues. However, none of the research I found online showed enough of a link to really concern me, especially for a senior cat. Also the element that is lacking in other grain free foods that was *thought* to be the link has already been added in by Blue Buffalo.

brought my cat back to life
By Maxy on Jan 30, 2021
My 14 year old cat started showing signs of early kidney disease, the vet recommended another prescription diet that is widely distributed through vet clinics. My cat did not even look at that food. He was so appalled by that food that he began starving himself in protest, wasting away losing a considerable amount of weight. I began doing some research and found that blue had a Kidney health prescription dry food. Knowing that my 14 year old cat loved to run to try and eat my 10 week old kittens blue healthy kitten food I figured id give it a try. At first it seemed he did not like the blue food and continued to eat the kittens food, I quickly realized the scent of the other prescription food My 14 year old cat started showing signs of early kidney disease, the vet recommended another prescription diet that is widely distributed through vet clinics.

At first it seemed he did not like the blue food and continued to eat the kittens food, I quickly realized the scent of the other prescription food was still lingering in his bowl. After fully scrubbing the bowl, and adding the blue food he took to the food immediately. Over the next few weeks we watched in amazement how he gained weight, had increased mobility, healthier shiny coat, and was back to his vocal self. If it wasn't for the blue food the fate of my cats life was grim. I am extremely pleased with the food and its ingredients, but mostly the quick turn around of the heath of my cat. If your cat is struggling with a prescription food taste, try blue it worked for my Maxy cat! … more

Purrrfect Blue Buffalo kibble
By Jane28 on Dec 4, 2020
This is "Sammie Sosa" and I just wanted to let you know that my human finally got smart and ordered me a yummy food that I not only love but it makes my tummy feel really good and it is good for my kidneys and joints now that I am a "Senior Top Kat". I would recommend this food to any elderly fussy kitty out there who needs extra help with their kidneys and their old joints. And even my Vet agrees because it can only be purchased with an approved prescription. I require only the best in EVERYTHING, that is why my Human deals only with Chewy.com. I think they are Purrr-fect Pet People. So, I encourage everyone to deal with Chewy and in this Pandemic, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCE This is "Sammie Sosa" and I just wanted to let you know that my human finally got smart and ordered me a yummy food that I not only love but it makes my tummy feel really good and it is good for my kidneys and joints now that I am a "Senior Top Kat".

Great Renal Diet
By Stacy on Dec 5, 2020
My elderly cat has kidney disease, like many cats her age. Switching to a dry renal diet food for her to graze on between kidney friendly wet food was initially difficult. We tried several different brands before I asked my veterinarian to send the prescription to Chewy so I can plus the Blue Buffalo diet. Success! It finally tempted my picky girl! Plus, the ingredients are higher quality than other brands of renal diet. So it wins due to being more palatable and healthier. The cost is hardly different than other renal food too.

My 14 yr F1 Savannah likes

It took her about 2 weeks to start nibbling at this food. I rationed her normal staple, "Fancy Feast" (dry kibble) slowly until she now only gets a few kibbles a day of her "treat" food.

My goal is to reduce the wet and dry treat foods i give her over time. I hope to continue to have good luck with this food and my F1 girl. She now has more pep in her step and is more active as well.
