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.

My cat loves this food!
By KiKi on Apr 16, 2019
My Midnight loves this and cannot get enough of it. She has IBS plus kidney disease so she gets two cans of specific prescription wet food but this is a perfect little snack to hold her over in between meals. She licks her bowl clean. Highly recommend.

Working Wonders
By Cathleen on Feb 6, 2019
My cat has GI issues and will have explosive diarrhea (not pleasant). Have had her on another brand's vet line for GI trouble plus prednisolone and her poo was better but never solid. Discussed with my vet and decided to give this a try. Within 2 weeks, her poo is solid and normal! I like that it doesn't have the corn, wheat and soy that other products contain.

prescription required
By customer72 on Mar 6, 2019
My cat has been placed on GI formula food and I have been trying to find one which has larger pieces since she seems to prefer them. She seems to eat this okay, but if there is any other larger pieces of food around she will eat them first.

Seems to be working
By Farmerjane on Mar 8, 2019 Top 1000 Contributor
I have one cat who always vomits after eating. Checked with my vet decided worth a try, so far so good. She likes the food and eats readily, have to be careful not to feed too much at one time. Overall great improvement.
