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% |
| Days 12-14 | 0% | 100% |

Yes, but we'll need them to contact us and provide the full name of the pet's owner after the order is placed. This is so the veterinary clinic can locate your pet's records when we contact them. Email us at vetdiet@chewy.com or call us 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399.

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.

Our one and only "cronchies"
By Jennguin on Jun 8, 2020
First, we super love Chewy. I made a miscalculation and ran out of this food before the regular autoship. Because my cats are such devotees and I am reluctant to make sudden food changes, I gave them some extra wet food during the 24 hours we were without. I was able to order immediately upon realizing our error in all of 30 seconds. The sharks were just beginning to circle when the blessed box arrived on our porch a day later. This was recommended to us by our vet after one of our kittyboys had repeated episodes of...doo doo britches. We haven't had a repeat of that since switching to this about 2 years ago. All 3 of my cats wound up liking it, which is really odd for specialty food.

started out once a dream come true
By Desiree on Jan 26, 2020
for the first week or two my EXTREMELY finicky cat was gobbling it up like there was no tomorrow... then bam, she wouldn't eat another bite of it. I've had it 5 months and I have literally been feeding it to the birds. Each time I try to give my cat this, she won't eat it, and after a few days of sitting in her bowl untouched I finally dump the bowl outside for the birds to enjoy. I give up, this stuff is just not working for my cat.

So Far, So Good!
By Tinker on Nov 26, 2019
We adopted an 8-year-old cat from our local shelter in December 2018. He vomited almost every day. We thought it was due to the radical change in diet......first from his original home.....then the shelter....then our house. When the situation did not improve, we took him to our vet who tried numerous medications and dietary changes with very little benefit. We even sought a second vet opinion and researched the situation on the internet. This food is the first product that has been successful for our cat—he has not been sick to his stomach in more than a month—the longest period of time since we adopted him! We are very hopeful that this trend will continue.

Helped my cat so much!
By Hannah on Nov 14, 2019
My cat use to throw up all the time, and now she doesn't. So thankful for my vet. Highly recommended. There are only two down falls to this food; the price, and that there is only one flavor, I know it sounds weird but my cat seems to be getting board so i'm adding the wet to her diet.

Gizmo loves this dry food!
By Gizmo on Dec 6, 2019
Gizmo has been really sick and not eating. His diet is restricted due to his illness. When given this and the canned he ate immediately. What a relief to find this life saver!

By TwoCats on Jul 31, 2019
My cat is a very picky eater but loves this cat food. It was nice that my vet recommended the food and gave me a free sample for my cat to try first.

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.
