Blue Buffalo cat food

[curious_raven]

Does anyone have any experience with feeding this to their cats? I'm considering switching over to it because it has no/less grain (depending on the variety), but my vet has never heard of it. It's pricey, so if anyone has some input I'd appreciate it!

I feed Wellness Core for that same reason.

I second Wellness Core and couldn't be happier. I got a little leery of Blue Buffalo when they turned up on the recall list a while back.

I have four cats with varying health things: the 13 year old has UTI issues and constipation; the 9-year-old is overweight, the 3 year-old is pretty active and the 2 year-old is a lunatic, but has skin sensitivity to certain foods.

On the Wellness core, the 13 yr. old gained weight, the 9 yr. old lost weight, the 3 yr. old is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and the skin conditions on the 2 yr. old have all cleared up. I can't say enough good about this product.

The food is a bit pricey, but even my vet is impressed with they quality of the skin and coats of my cats. Besides, one small bag lasts me almost a month and that's with four cats.

Also, not to be gross, but the quality of their poo is better - not smelly and less of it!

I will warn you though, the food itself is a little fishy smelling right out of the bag, but the smell fades and you do get used to it. That comes with feeding a grain-free food.

I tried to switch my cat to it a year or two ago, but he didn't care for it, not particulary helpful input I suppose, as taste would really depend on the individual cat. He ate it, but made it pretty obvious he wasn't happy about it. Maybe try the smallest bag first?

Hmmm, I don't think taste would be an issue. Mine inhale almost anything! But yeah, a small sample bag is a good idea.

i know you posted this a long time ago, but i just switched my cat to blue buffalo and she loves it. she did not like wellness. they are essentially the same. wellness core does not have any grain, but they're all quality foods. it's just up to what your kitty likes. :)

Mine ended up not liking it :P After much experimenting I did find a grain free canned food they like.
