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. 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.

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.

Finally, NO Chicken Wet Food
By DogMom on Aug 21, 2021
My dog is very allergic to Chicken as part of her protein allergy. She is on a Hydrolyzed Soy Protein diet however she has a dental procedure scheduled and needs to be on a soft food. Up until recently I had been trying to figure out what to give her as most hydrolyzed wet foods used chicken. I came across this product and ran it by our vet who gave the green light to try it. I AM SO GLAD WE DID. Not only is she able to tolerate it so I can have something safe to give her after her procedure but SHE LOVES IT. Side Note: We have a cat and every time I open a can to give to my dog I turn around because the cat thinks it's for her :) lol.

issues with grain free?
By datl on Jul 24, 2021
I decided to try this with my dog who has IBD and has been on Hill's zd for a few years now. I liked the ingredients better with Blue and was happy to see it available. My dog seems to like it fine, and he seems to be doing well on it, tho I'm only at about 50/50 transition, but now I am reading about the concerns that this brand is one of the brands named with issues of heart problems and grain free diets in general. I'm researching it and consulting with my vet, but don't know if I will continue with it at this point.

Paying for Air
By Molly on Sep 29, 2021
Blue Buffalo dog food separates in the can and the cans are only 2/3 full! Paying for air. Not impressed.

This is a game changer!!
By Arrowmatherapy on Mar 15, 2021
With every other prescription food on the market having horrible ingredients I was not willing to use , thank goodness I stumbled upon this one. My little French bulldog has been sick for four months and it became a fight for your life sickness that resulted in complete food intolerance. She was skin and bones couldn’t hold anything down and her body didn’t want to absorb any nutrition and needed this hydrolyzed protein. It became the game changer that turned the corner for her in a positive manner. She loves the taste of both the kibble and the canned and I am so appreciative that blue buffalo makes this blend!!

Good Product
By Monica on Apr 3, 2021
This food works well for my Westie dog who, at 14, developed skin issues for the first time in her life. I recently began using this food -- hydrolyzed protein -- to help determine whether or not she had a protein allergy. It turns out that she is allergic to chicken! There is a strong fishy smell, because, after all it is fish!

He wont even look at it.
By DebbieNY on May 6, 2021 top1000Contributor
My dog was a fussy eater ever since I got him 4 years ago. But now he was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and I have tried everything to find a food he will eat. This food he wouldn't even go near.

Stinky Salmon My dog Loves
By MinnieMoo on Jan 9, 2021
My dog has been on Hydrolyzed Dog food for a couple of years. I"ve been feeding her mostly Purina Hydrolyzed Dry dog food with the occasional can hydrolyzed chicken. If I just feed her the dry food her stools are like hard rock pebbles. By feeding her the wet dog food it helps to soften her stools. I decided to try Blue Buffalo Salmon for a change of flavor for her and she loves it. Her stools are even better. I'm on the fence to order more because of the strong fish smell. Doesn't help with her bad breath. For now I am going back to the can chicken along with the Missing Link to see if that will make her stools softer. As for the food not being to the top of the can it's probably measured My dog has been on Hydrolyzed Dog food for a couple of years.

Good food but hates the canned
By Judy on Apr 14, 2021
My dog hates the canned but loves the dry food. I'll be getting the dry food from Chewy from now on
