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.

My dog loves it
By Greatfood on Sep 5, 2021
I just switched my dog to this food from hills prescription diet as they changed the formula and she had an allergic reaction to it. The blue buffalo is great and she loves it and she is a fussy Yorkie, 12 year old girl. She is also showing improvement in her itching.

Worked for my dog at first; now, she refuses it
By Vvvv on May 6, 2021 top1000Contributor
I ordered this for my 13+ year old Pomeranian who recently suffered an episode of severe pancreatitis which resulted, unfortunately, in kidney failure. As a result of her illness, she is frequently nauseous and quite picky with her food. I ordered this in an attempt to find a low-fat diet she would eat, and while she DID originally show some interest in this food, she now refuses to eat it. My younger male Pomeranian was interested in this, so I think it would work well for an otherwise healthy dog who needs a low-fat prescription diet for gastrointestinal issues. It just didn't work for my dog in my specific situation.

Didn’t like
By Jellybean222 on Jan 10, 2021
Unfortunately, none of my dogs like this food at all. I can’t even get them to eat it. I guess I will need to donate it to the local animal shelter. I was hoping that this brand would do the trick to get my dogs to eat their prescription food.

My dog loves it
By Sassy on Mar 10, 2020

Pancreatitis search

Our littlest girl has had pancreatitis twice once requiring hospitalization. she seems to like it, though I was hoping for good with a little more texture, but it is working for her.
