Highlighted Reviews

— KSBK 5 found helpful

"We’re always a Blue Buffalo house but after trying 6 different types/flavors of cat foods, Skynyrd finally was happy with Healthy Gourmet Chicken Pate. Sadly Blue Buffalo has discontinued this line."

— Nancy

"Nancy's description of the vomitings which was not the case before."

Bottom Line

If your cat loved the old formula, you might want to stock up while it's still available. The new formula is a hit or miss, and it's hard to predict how your cat will react. For those with cats that had digestive issues, it could be worth a try, but be prepared for potential changes in your cat's eating habits and health.
