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% |

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.

Loves it!!!!!!
By Kitty on Nov 16, 2020
It is our cat's favorite food. He maintains his weight and urinary health with no problems, as long as he eats this. I also like that it is grain free.

If they won't eat it..
By braven1612 on Aug 8, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I have an overweight cat with urinary tract issues so was excited to find this combination. I'm sure this W+U food is excellent and is exactly what the doctor ordered, (and he did order it). Alas, neither of my cats will touch it.

Blue Buffalo cat food
By Barb on Jun 23, 2020
My fourteen year old cat is verthe picky. The only food he likes is Blue, other than treats or a little good quality turkey or ham , low sodium occasionally . My vet wanted him on a food for urinary health . He woold not eat the Royal Cannaan. I found the Blue Formula on Chewy . He likes it. It is expensive but as long as he does well I will order it.

Much Better Ingredients Than Other Brands
By kbbarbie105 on Jun 7, 2020
However, my cat still wouldn't eat it. He apparently doesnt appreciate any of the urinary food brands. On the other hand, I have another older cat that normally will only eat dry food when she is absolutely desperate and she gobbles this food up. She does not need special food, but it must taste delicious to her because this is pretty much the only dry food I can get her to eat. The kibble is smaller than most brands, which helps cats with gum disease & tooth loss eat it.

Cat doing better on this food
By LizB on Aug 8, 2020
Vet put my cat on a royal canie Urinary track food but they changed formula to include wheat and cat thows up a lot. Switch to Blue Buffalo W-U with all protein now she is doing great.

Does seem to help!
By ImMe on Apr 23, 2020
Our 18 lb 5ish or so year old male cat decided to create a uti. I don't know how utis happen but I'm glad we paid attention to him! Got him on some meds and changed his food. I was hesitant on buying this at first but after doing the math it only come down to .80 cents a day which is what sold me. Another thing is that the day I got it I gave him a few pieces to see what he does. And I was shocked to see him gobble it all up. We were having issues weeks earlier with him not eating. So him eating this food made us so happy!! I do plan on keeping him on this for as long as he is with us. Just to make sure the uti does not come back.

Definitely worth a try!
By Jasper on May 9, 2020
My cats became sick of their old urinary prescription food. I’ve heard good things about Blue Buffalo for years & was excited to give it a try. Our cats gobbled the new food up & begged for more! It doesn’t seem to leave them hungry after either, which is a definite bonus. Plus, not to be gross, but some of these Prescription urinary diet plans really stink up the cat box, this thankfully does not.

Nice small kibble
By Cats061480 on Jun 16, 2020
I was looking for something with small kibble for my Urinary kitty who had some teeth pulled and found it! He loves eating this now. My other fat cat is enjoying it too. Hopefully he will loose some weight too. :-)
