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.

love KS canned food
By mama on Nov 20, 2021
Our 12YO chihuahua was diagnosed with kidney issues and we started feeding her KS canned food. She absolutely loves it and finishes her food like never before. I was concerned about her tummy, but she’s been good and her poop is solid! Food is expensive, but worth it. I wish they would sell it without a prescription. I wish I could buy the food off from those of you that did not the like product for their dogs

Why the change?
By VioletsMom on Nov 12, 2021
This canned dog food has been changed from its original formula. Previous cans I purchased had a soft pate texture with gravy. My dog loved it!! The most recent cans I ordered the food is a hard pate without gravy. Total change. Dog won't eat it now. Would have been nice to know the formula for the food changed before I purchased two more cases.

Not good for kidneys
By Criselle on Oct 6, 2021
My dog was diagnosed with kidney disease and I started her off with Hills K/D soft food and my dog hated it but learned to like it. I found out that Blue Buffalo had a kidney support food and was so happy and excited to try it out because my dog used to love the regular Blue Buffalo food. It might be too early to tell but after having her on this food after three days I noticed she was drinking more and more water with this food than she did with the Hills food. I took this as a sign that her kidneys are being over worked and this food isn’t doing a good job as the Hills brand was. I would give this more stars for my dog because she was eating it super well but the whole point of this food is My dog was diagnosed with kidney disease and I started her off with Hills K/D soft food and my dog hated it but learned to like it.

BB is the best!
By naturebabe on Oct 25, 2021
One of my rescue dogs was diagnosed with kidney disease, so we had to make a quick diet change. I considered making her food, but there's not enough time in the day ;), so I tried a few different commercial kidney diets. After a lot of research, I found Blue Buffalo to be the highest quality, most healthful food available and my dog loves it!

My dog loves it
By Siesta on Aug 31, 2021
I have a 15 year old cockerpoo named Sietsa. He has been battling kidney disease for the past year. After being on the kibble for 1 year his kidney levels improved. They are not where the vet would like them, but an improvement from last year. This summer he started not to like the kibble very much, so I started to give him the canned Blue Buffalo grain free KS diet. He loves it. I give him a quarter of the can, then some kibble. I haven't seen him eat this good in a long, long, time. Thank you Blue Buffalo for making a grain free in the Kidney Support.

My dog won't touch it!
By Chews on Oct 25, 2021
Although I'm sure this product works well for some other dogs, my dog would not even taste it, after just smelling it. I am left now with a very expensive case of specialty food, that my dog wont eat.

My dog ate a few bites and didn’t want to eat the rest
By Mocha on Sep 11, 2021
Too bad I was not able to purchase one canned to try it out. Available only on 12 cans. My dog doesn’t like it and will not eat it. I tried adding teaspoon of low sodium chicken broth and she still would not eat it. I don’t know what to do with the rest of the canned.

She Love This Food!
By Cinni on Jul 22, 2021
My 13 year old toy poodle was recently diagnosed with mild kidney disease by a blood test required before her dental procedure. I tried a couple of low protein OTC foods until my vet recommended feeding her a prescription kidney care diet. The only one she could eat was grain free Blue Buffalo Veterinary Diet, KS because she is allergic to corn. From the beginning, she loved this canned food, practically inhaled it! She is back to her old self with energy and spunk; you wouldn't know there is anything wrong with her.
