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% |

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.

HappyHealthyCat
By HappyCatMom on Sep 30, 2021
Our male cat is enjoying his new food. The last prescribed food that we tried did not agree with his system. Now, his stools are back to normal, he has more energy and enjoying his food as well as his UTI has subsided with the usage of homeopathic drops and a better quality food.

Helped my cat, great product.
By JimT on Jul 15, 2021
My cat's previous owner claimed he had wheat allergies. My vet claimed he's not sure how you could find that out, but prescribed him a food that was easier to digest. Caesar has urinary crystals, so the food had to work against that too. While it kept the crystal growth in check, he would throw at least once a week. After searching for a wheat free urinary cat food and not finding anything, I finally discovered the Blue Buffalo wheat free food with urinary health. After consulting my cat's vet, we tried it. It has been night and day. His vomiting has completely stopped, he is more relaxed and less anxious. This has been amazing and I'm so happy. He loves it too!

Better choice for Urinary Health Food
By Amanda on Jun 10, 2021
I was excited to find a new option available for the prescription urinary health food. The other brands tend to have worse looking ingredient lists. This has been a hit so far! They don't avoid it at all. Time will tell if it continues to help with one cat's urinary health and the others with weight management but it looks promising.

Didn’t work
By Coco on Jul 7, 2021
Was hoping to replace Royal Cannin urinary for cats due to superior ingredients in Blue Buffalo U + W. After feeding this to her about 5 weeks she stopped using the litter box to urinate :( Went back on Royal Cannin.

Prescription food that is healthy too!
By Felinemama on Apr 29, 2021
Thank God, a food that I would want to give my cat that fits into his food prescription! I used to buy him the healthiest food with no grain, no byproducts, etc but his constitution required a urinary formula after having 3 large bladder stones removed. I used 1 of the 2 urinary formulas that were available and he liked it enough to eat it but when I looked at the ingredients I was surprised to see the things that I avoided when able to purchase any food! I'm so glad that Blue Buffalo now makes the exact formula that my cat needs in both dry and wet food and he absolutely LOVES it!! How could he not when the ingredients are recognizable as the deliciously healthy food that I eat? Meat, fruit Thank God, a food that I would want to give my cat that fits into his food prescription!

Helped with anxiety / stress related urinary problems
By Zaelynt on May 1, 2021
Our 5yo tabby has a lot of anxiety and stress when we he and the other cat are left alone overnight. This culminated into a $500 ER bill and even more traumatization for him when he was having pain going to the bathroom after 1 night being gone. Luckily it was only stress induced and not a blockage, but I was happy to find this food that wasn't full of by-products, grains, and unnecessary fillers. It was put to the test when we had to be gone for multiple nights and when we came back, there were no urinary issues. I would rather pay for this food than worry about urinary problems and expensive ER trips.

My cat likes it so far...
By Theresa on Jul 12, 2021
I just started feeding my cat this food last week, and so far she seems to be enjoying it. I didn't see a change in her weight *yet*. It's also helping with her urinary tract issues.

Not for us
By LuLu on May 20, 2021
Normally the babies love blue buffalo food. This not so much they all hated it all three of them. MY cat lost weight only because they did not eat the food. Chewy like usual is awesome they allowed me to return the food while we try to figure out what is good for our babies. The smell of this food is like old BBQ sauce smell.

Chewy is the best!
By Rose on Jun 25, 2021
We didn't end up needing the cat food and when I called to arrange a return, I was told to donate the bag to the local shelter. I was amazed at the generosity and caring for the homeless furbabes!
