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.

Happy to have found this food
By Rochelle on Jun 19, 2020
My cat developed terrible food allergies at the age of two and for almost 4 months I have been trying to find a food that is palatable to him. I have tried so many limited ingredient foods that I could start my own pet store. This BB hydrolyzed food was really the last stop and it was one of the only hydrolyzed foods that did not list powdered cellulose as one of the ingredients (buyers beware). He has been eating this food for about a week now and seems to enjoy it. His skin condition is clearing up (also with the help of steroids) and he is scratching way less. We're only a week in but I think this food has made a tremendous difference and I'm so happy to have found it.

Makes my cat vomit
By Catmom on May 11, 2020
This is not good for IBD cats because of its high carbohydrate levels. and IBD cats usually cannot handle dry kibble due to slow motility in their digestive tract. . My cat wanted to eat the food, and against my gut feeling, I started to slowly introduce this food because my vet wanted my cat to try it. At first, my Sammy was fine; but after a week of eating the food, Sammy has vomited four days in a row and had diarrhea yesterday.. Now, he won’t touch anything and is nauseated. Back to the vet I go! This food does smell good and it might work for cats with other digestive issues, but not for IBD cats.

Love Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet Dry Food
By Lexxie on Mar 12, 2020
My vet recommended this for my guys because the one is allergic to so many things. He still has to have medication daily, but a smaller dose is needed. He had no reactions in quite awhile. They both love this food and seem to eat more than they did on other foods. However, they maintain healthy weight even though they are now twelve years old. I think they seem perkier and everyone including our vet says they look much younger than they are. This is due to daily vitamins, minerals as well as the healthier food I suspect. I trust this dry food and they love it. I have tried the canned of the same type and brand which they loved as well until the last couple cases - they no longer will eat My vet recommended this for my guys because the one is allergic to so many things.

Better than other vet diets
By Mandy on Mar 28, 2020
I have a very allergic kitty. She has been on other diets and hasn't tolerated them well. After going on this, her symptoms got better immediately. It isn't made with the chicken fat that other diets are. It smells better and she seems to like it more.

Just what the Doctor ordered
By HappySparky on Apr 8, 2020
My furry cat friend is a Munchkin, bred to be small inside & out. His small delicate stomach is easily upset. Blue to the rescue. I am grateful for this product & thankful to Chewy for prompt delivery.

My tiny cat loves this food!
By LoveSierra on Mar 17, 2020
My little 4 yr old cat, Luna, only weighed 6 lbs. When she started losing weight I worried! This special type of food was suggested for Feline Irritable Bowel Disease. She loves the taste and gobbles it up! Hopefully she will soon be gaining weight back!

my cats love Blue Buffalo
By Mtrio on Apr 11, 2020
Im so glad there’s a hydrolyzed version of BB food. The kibble is small enough for my cats with limited teeth and an auto immune disease that affects the tongue.

Game changer
By Janice8371 on Feb 14, 2020
I have been struggling to find a food that my cats would eat and not try to bury, this one is it, from the moment I opened the bag, all 3 of my cats loved it. Please make a wet food that they love too, the wet food in this flavor, they won't eat.
