I’ve always fed my cat Blue Buffalo, but recently I found out that people were having problems with the brand and some pets were even dying. Should I be concerned feeding my cat Blue Buffalo? What would be a good and healthy alternative?
Blue Buffalo is a terrible food, and I never recommend it. You'd be hard pressed to find a vet who recommends it. I would switch Billy's food. Brands I recommend Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams.

Hi how would you compare blue buffalo Rx diet HF hydrolyzed canned food to hills Z/d hydrolyzed rx canned diet? Trying to find an alternative to royal Canin Selected protein Rx diets which Trixie will no longer eat .. nor does she like the hills z/d
Frankly, I do not care for Blue Buffalo products because they have a history of lying about their ingredients in their diets. Hills and Royal Canin are my preferred brands. There are other limited protein food brands out there, such as Natural Balance, which has formulas with a single protein source and a single carbohydrate source, making it less likely for your cat to develop an allergy.

Nutro, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, Taste of the Wild or Rachel Ray Nutrish for dry cat food? Cat has no known allergies or health conditions. Open to other recommendations. Want high quality and natural food that is healthy
I never recommend Blue Buffalo. It's a terrible quality of food, they have no quality control (they don't own their own factories), and there have been recalls on the food. I don't recommend Rachel Ray either. She's a TV chef with no experience in animal nutrition. As for the others, they are grain free. Grain free is a fad, and I never recommend feeding it. The foods I recommended to you in your other post are high quality. I hope this helps.

Can you recommend a brand of wet cat food for my 9 year old cat with lymphoma? She has cachexia already. Is receiving chemo drugs. Will Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon work? Thank you for your help
I'm so sorry that Katie was diagnosed with lymphoma. Athough they have not done as significant of studies in cats as they have with dogs, our goals with cancer are to feed a food high in protein and fat, but low in carbohydrates. This is especially important for cats since they are obligate carnivores, so a canned food is ideal. A salmon based diet is a wonderful idea since omega 3 fatty acids can have some anti-cancer effects. My cats love Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon. They also love Wellness Turkey and Salmon. Cats rely on their sense of smell to entice their appetite, so smelly fish based foods are a great idea for a cat with cachexia. I also find that rotating foods on a regular basis can be very useful for cats on chemo, so they don't get turned off to a particular food if they are nauseated. I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

my 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with early stages of kidney disease. i had her eating the dry food from Hills K/D and she was ok with that. Then i moved her to the wet food because she stopped eating the dry. now she’ll eat the wet food for
Unfortunately no, neither of those diets are ideal for kidney patients which benefit from lower protein diets. Royal Canin makes a whole line of renal diets for cats that come in a variety of textures, flavors that are usually more appealing to finicky cats than the Hills k/d. If BB won’t even eat the Royal Canin renal canned cat foods, however, eating something is definitely better than not eating, especially as cats can develop a serious condition called hepatic lipidosis from not eating for even two days. Inquire with your vet about approving the Royal Canin renal diets which you can find on chewy.com if your vet doesn’t carry it. Good luck!
