Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet K+M Kidney + Mobility Support Grain-Free Dry Cat Food, 7-lb bag

My precious Odie diagnosed with kidney failure - refused to eat anything. My Milo who tests very healthy, also refused to eat anything when Odie became ill. But Milo did eat a little of Blue Buffalo K+M dry - while turning his nose up the food he loved before. I fed Odie another RX can food and he began nibbling the RX dry also. Both are eating it now. Still feeding Odie the can and he is perky and wanting to play again.

My cat Shadow, a 14 year old rescue was adopted by me two months ago. The first thing I did was take her to my vets to get a physical. It was discovered that she was in the very early stages of kidney failure. Vet gave me several samples of wet and dry foods to try for her condition. Blue K+M was the only one who's ingredients were acceptable to me. There are no by-product meals, corn, wheat or soy in this food. All the other samples were mostly just that kind of ingredient. One sample didn't even list a meat source. Cats don't digest plant protein efficiently. Even though she's in early kidney failure, I feel she needs real meat. She has transitioned to this diet and likes it. With My cat Shadow, a 14 year old rescue was adopted by me two months ago. The first thing I did was take her to my vets to get a physical.

My first rescue passed two years ago, but I used Chewy for her needs too. Chewy is a great company to do business with because if something is wrong, they will make it Right! … more

Our 13 year old was diagnosed at the very upper limits of functional kidney values a few months ago. Our vet recommended putting him on one or both of the two main prescription diets for pets. After seeing the ingredients (basically pork digest and saw dust), I did my own research. I found this food, requested the rx, and our cat loves it. Even his little sister goes after this food when she is done with hers! I love that this diet includes joint support and I think more diets should include it. Probably they want to make money selling additional supplements that cats don’t like. Wish I had found this food sooner- the ingredients are fantastic for a lower protein diet.

If your cat is diagnosed with kidney disease & needs a veterinary prescribed diet be prepared for an expensive process finding a food your cat will eat. I tried what the Vet recommended without success. My cat had always enjoyed Blue Buffalo foods, but I had never noticed that they made prescription foods as well, because they are listed separately . I cheered with joy to find them on Chewy ! My Cat happily ate it immediately, so it was an easy transition to the new dry food. I cannot say how relieved & delighted I am to find Blue Buffalo veterinary prescription food ! Without Chewy I wouldn’t have found it! I am so glad!

My poor elderly kitty is in late stage kidney failure and part of the reason for that is because she simply would not eat any of the other prescription kidney foods, including the BB wet food (sorry guys). I was just about ready to give up when I decided to give the dry food a try. And while she doesn't exactly wolf down entire bowls of it, she eats enough throughout the day to sustain her. And for that I am grateful.

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?...

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!

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.

Cat doesn’t like it. She only ate about two bites. Has a very mild smell that’s not appealing to her. On the plus side, it’s a big bag and I’m using it for a door stop!

Switched from not being able to get Royal Canin but this has a mobility helper. I have 2 out of 3 elderly cats. Hope this will help. So far, so good. They eat it well. I have usually fed regular Blue Buffalo cat food in the past.
