Food & NutritionWhy won't my new kitten eat after adoption and neuter surgery?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Congrats on your new kitten! Moving into a new home is stressful, and it sometimes can cause a decrease in appetite. In all honestly, I never recommend Blue Buffalo, it's frankly a terrible food, and I'm not surprised he's turning his nose up at it. Try a brand like Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams to see if he likes that better. If he doesn't eat that food, then a heath check with a vet is recommended right away. I hope this helps!
