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.

Cats not Fans
By Jacob on Jul 11, 2019
Blue Buffalo doesn't mess around and I'm sure this is high quality stuff, so I decided to take the plunge on the price. Unfortunately neither of my cats are very big fans of this. They'll eat it, but it's with definite reluctance.
