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.

I should have listened to the bad reviews
By AmandaK on Dec 5, 2020
I really wanted my cat with severe food allergies to eat this food. So many foods made her sick and I was trying to figure out what all she is allergic to. This food has the texture of canned cranberry sauce. It is absolutely disgusting. If you mix water in it, it turns into a gray clay-like substance. My cat took exactly one lick of it and ran away. She wouldn't even look at it after that. I have more cats than I want to admit to, so I thought at least one of them would eat it. It was a resounding no from all of them. I put a plate of it out and ended up throwing it away. My 18 pound cat who even eats the dog food wouldn't touch it.

No luck with this one
By Elle on Jan 2, 2021
My cat absolutely hated it. Took one bite then walked away. I tried again with no success at all. She wouldn't even glance in the direction of the bowl. I was surprised by her reaction since she does tend to like fish flavors.

Ick! She wouldn't even look at it!
By Tincat on Oct 10, 2020
Well, I did read the reviews, but this was recommended by the Vet. I did receive it overnight! The vet had a few cans in stock, so fortunately I tried it, and ICK! This is for a 13 yr old kitty with thyroid, IBS, and some kidney issues. She would not even look at it, one sniff, and away she went! Even the other two kitties who will eat just about anything, ran away! The case is still intact, so I will be returning it. It's too bad that pet food companies don't pay closer attention to cat issues. The same can be said for Vets!

...as long as my cat eats it
By Eric on Oct 9, 2020
So the other reviews are correct, calling this patte would be an insult to pattes. This is an unholy gelatinous solid which does not soften when heated and needs effort to be mushed. That all being said, my cat eats it. Does she love it, doubtful, but the only thing she really loves is human food, which is a no-no. It's only been a few days now but she eats it and that's the whole point. Hopefully this will solve her digestive issues.

Life saver!
By AddyB on Oct 11, 2020
I have a cat with IBD and needed to make the switch. We had no trouble transitioning him over to this food over the course of a week and he gobbles it up. Yes, the texture is very weird. What we do to get it to a normal pate texture is cut it into smaller pieces and microwave it for about 10 seconds to get it softer. I add a small amount of water and mush it together. This way the texture becomes easy to eat and more like what they're used to. I can imagine that without taking the extra time to do this, cats might be totally disinterested in the food or find it hard to eat. A little water and mixing can make a world of difference.

Customer service is amazing!
By ChickenMother on Nov 14, 2020
Although this food did not work out for my cat, I had a wonderful experience with customer service from chewy. Thank you, Chewy Customer Service, for your help!

My boy loves this canned food
By Viva on Sep 15, 2020
We have gone years without a canned food my cat can eat. This was a problem because I had always mixed fiber in his canned food to help him deal with hairballs. Now I can mix fiber with this. He purrs and trills while I’m mixing it, and licks the plate clean. I think his coat is getting softer and shinier as well. Thank you!

Happy there is a wet food option
By KATE on Sep 5, 2020
However my two 3 yr boys haven’t taken to it yet. The consistency of the food is pretty fine ground, and tightly compact, making it more like firm tofu. They have grown accustomed to royal Canin HP dry. Trying to get them back to wet.

it doesn't help if they won't eat it
By yogakathy on Jan 3, 2021
and they (4 cats) won't eat it...must return the entire case, minus one can

Have to agree with the other reviews... yuck
By CatMom on Jun 12, 2020
My cats roundly rejected this. Or rather, they didn't even identify it as a possible food source, let alone try to eat it. Horrific consistency and smell. So sad. One of our cats has severe IBD with intolerance to just about every protein. The dry food version of this has been ok (good, not great, but at least they eat it). They used to only eat wet food and we hoped to find a hydrolyzed wet formula to supplement the dry food with. This is, sadly, not the answer.
