"Hazel loves this food. She's quite finicky and from the first bowl, she has enjoyed it. Her waste is dry, hairballs are non-existent, and her fur is shiny and soft. I feel like I can always trust any product from Blue Buffalo to be of high quality and they have my pets' best health in mind."

β€” Mino

"I had 3 cats eating this and 2 started to vomit. I introduced the food gradually and everything was fine at first. Once they had fully transitioned to this is when the vomiting started. I gave it two weeks and the vomiting persisted. I then switched them off to a different food and the vomiting stop..."

While many cats enjoy this food, the risk of vomiting is a serious consideration. It may be worth trying, but monitor your cat closely.
