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.

Good for older underweight cat
By Charles on Feb 10, 2021
I bought this not for a kitten, but for an older tomcat who has been slowly losing weight and has recently shown a lack of appetite for regular cat food. Kitten food is recommended for older or underweight cats because it has higher caloric and nutrition levels than regular cat food. He loves it, he eats it, and he has recovered some of his weight; it probably may have saved his life.

My 11 month old kitten loves it
By Annie on Feb 4, 2021
The dry food I usually buy for my almost-11-month-old kitten was out of stock, so I decided to try Blue Buffalo. He loves it! He’s always been somewhat ambivalent about dry food - he wouldn’t touch it unless I mixed it together with his wet food. But he’s so excited about this stuff that I have to store it on a higher shelf because I caught him trying to chew his way into the bag! I guess we’ll be sticking with this brand.

Loves it a Lot!
By Willow on Jan 29, 2021
I adopted 2 wonderful female silver tabbies from a local shelter after I lost my 4th and last ragdoll. They are very affectionate with one another and me. The dry food that the shelter told me they'd eat was a name brand but nobody was having it. I switched them over to Wilderness as my last cats ate it and they loved it. I see the dish empty out on a regular basis. They would eventually eat the last food but really like this.

Loved it ever since the first bowl
By MonkeysMom on Jan 19, 2021
From the day I brought my kitten home I had Blue Buffalo kitten for him to and enjoy. Slowly mixed it in with his dry food the shelter was giving him till it was gone and I could fully transition to the blue. The transition was soft and perfect. It never upset his little tummy and he has loved it ever since. He eats regularly and will even choose it over wet food sometimes. I recommend this food for your kitten.

Excellent and Little pricey
By RoRo on Jan 27, 2021
Have a kitten and I have tried several different brands of kitten food to no luck of her liking or eating it until I tried this one. She has actually put on weight and she loves her wilderness food. Gave out of it this morning waiting on UPS to get here now with her bag. Put some of her Authority kitten food in dish, she turned her nose up and walked off.

Blue is the way to go
By KittiesNY on Feb 24, 2021
I would never have thought that one of my kitties prefers eating Blue Buffalo's Wilderness Kitten dried food over wet, but she does. The other two alternate between noshing on dry and wet food. Grain-Free is also a plus.

Good for sensitive kittens
By Haesel on Jan 10, 2021
The animal shelter recommended a different popular brand (which contained grains) when we first got our kitten, but he was VERY gassy and his bowel movements were irregular. Once we switched him over to Blue, all that went away. I'm not sure if it's related, but his fur has become much softer and shinier as well. It saved his stomach and our noses.

Great Service
By nana on Jan 19, 2021
Great service and quality food! I ordered without verifying my address and was shipped to my old house. When I contacted the service by phone, my worries were all gone. They shipped my order fast and at no extra cost to my home. My kitten loves it. Thanks, Chewy!

Healthy and Appealing to My Kitten
By Cricket on Feb 13, 2021
Surprising to me, my 7 month old Russian Blue much prefers this dry food to wet food and my vet supports me feeding it to him---especially because it is grain free.

Best for nursing mother cats
By Wvmountains on Nov 15, 2020
After my cat gave birth to 6 kittens she was looking kind of rough in every way afterwards. Her Fur was looking badd and she was skinny whereas before she was vibrant in every way. We bought this specific food for her and Within a few days noticed a marked Improvement in the fur especially But she just Looked more vibrant in her face and eyes and literally right away started putting back on some of her weight. I did not anticipate how much she would love the taste of the food but she is eating more of this than all 3 of my other cats on Our normal cat food. We are just so surprised at the difference that was right away can still getting better that we had to come on here to write this After my cat gave birth to 6 kittens she was looking kind of rough in every way afterwards.
