Blue Buffalo Freedom Chicken Adult Grain-Free Indoor Dry Cat Food, 11 lb

My 2 y/o cat adores this food, and we do too! We gradually shifted her over to this food after rescuing her from the shelter where they could only afford to feed her Purina Cat Chow, and the difference is phenomenal. She was slightly underweight at the time of adoption, and a recent trip to the vet has shown her to now have a perfect build. Her coarse, thin fur became noticeably more lush and silky within DAYS of feeding her this. The difference in quality is clear. She has never thrown up on this food (only time she did was when we tried a low quality wet food) and passes very healthy looking stool once or twice a day. She loves to drink water, although we still do prefer to supplement her daily diet with a bit of Blue Buffalo wet food to boost her liquid intake. We also found out that she was a bit ill with a respiratory infection after taking her home from the shelter, and I strongly suspect that this high quality, nutritious food helped her recover more quickly into the playful, rambunctious, and affectionate cat that she is. I know there are seemingly endless options of premium cat food out there and it can be daunting for old and new cat parents alike, especially around the stream of controversies and recalls that keep occurring with so many different brands. As a loving and devoted cat mom, I can safely say that my 2 y/o is extremely active, playful, and happy on this food and it has been nothing but a wonderful experience to have her on it, and I thus highly recommend this food! By the way, the first bag I received came with two holes in it, which I discovered after seeing some of the kibble on the bottom of the Amazon box. Concerned with the potential for contamination from the punctured bag, I contacted amazon through the website. They called me to fix the issue withing MINUTES of my message, and immediately set up a replacement shipment that arrived the next day. If you have any issues with the shipping/packaging, I urge you to contact Amazon immediately, rather than stay disappointed and/or develop a grudge, as they have excellent customer service!

I’ve been feeding my cats this cat food for a very long time. I like it because have a vet visit. My cats like this brand because they’re very small pieces easier for them to eat. Good for old cats and kittens.

My cats really do good on this cat food . Ordered from Amazon. When it arrived the sack was tore clear across the bag and food spilled on bottom of box. Called customer service, they refunded my cost. Because is unreturnable. Customer service was great. I was not expecting them to give me a refund.

My 8 year old ragdoll has been given this food since we adopted him six years ago. His coat improved drastically in just a few weeks and he has always tolerated this food well. And now, we just adopted another cat a few weeks ago, a tabby, who is somewhere around 1 to 2 years old. The shelter forgot to send his current food with him so we had to make the switch without being able to do so gradually. He did have runny stool for a few days but whether that was from the food or was preexisting, who knows. He did not show any signs of gastrointestinal distress and was always (and still is) eager to eat. He seemed to digest this well and his stool returned to normal in a couple days. We free fed our ragdoll so we’ve been trying to figure out this timed feeding since he seems to go crazy for just the smell of this food. Within just a few days we could see a change in his coat and he’s softer than ever. I like that I can pronounce the ingredients and it makes me feel like I am doing something good for my pets. I like that it comes in a larger bag since we go through much more with the two cats now. It is more expensive than the grocery store brands but I think it is well worth it for a happy, healthy cat!

My cat can only have grain free food, and this is the only brand that doesn't make her sick. She has no digestive issues after eating and I feel like she loves the taste since she begs for it (but what cat doesn't beg? Lol) I like the health benefits and ingredients of this brand. The performance outweighs the price, so I'd definitely say this is worth a shot if you'd cat keeps getting sick. The bag isn't too heavy on weight either, but you're still getting a lot for a good deal.

I like that this is one of the few (only, actually) of the better-quality dry cat foods I've found that does NOT contain fish somewhere in the ingredient list. I'm trying to get away from fish to see if it improves the smell of their poo, as suggested by others. My 2 kitties are almost through with their first 11 lb. bag, and they like it, and the smell is more pleasant than the other Blue Buffalo types they've tried (not fishy.) Still working through the fish-filled canned food surplus I have, so don't know for sure what the impact will be on their poo smell. [Edit] Now after some time of using both canned (Wellness turkey and beef & chicken flavors) and this dry food with no fish in the ingredients, I have found that their poo is far less stinky when they are eating ONLY the canned, with none of the dry food at all. I didn't really notice a difference in their poo smell between feeding them this Blue Buffalo Dry food, or the Wilderness Chicken Blue Buffalo dry food. Both pretty stinky. But not as bad as when they eat canned food with fish in it. That can make us open up all the windows and turn on all the fans no matter how cold it is outside! [end of edit] However, I am wary about just how much of those fillers (potatoes, peas, & cellulose) are in there. I can't find info. on what the protein to carbohydrate profile of this food is. (And would that reflect how much cellulose is in there? I don't think that gives any nutritional value...but also probably doesn't add carbohydrates. It probably just makes the food less nutritious, but cheaper, per pound. Don't know what the heck cellulose is doing in there other than making it cheaper to produce. Maybe it is less harmful than other carbohydrate fillers?) If they gave a detailed nutrition profile, so I wasn't worried that it was just gimmicky expensive junk comparable to the cheaper junk on the market, I would likely be convinced to be a regular customer. But without knowing, I am left wondering if buying this expensive food is a waste of money

Both my cats LOVE this kibble. I picked it based on the ingredients list and did some independent research too. I wanted a cat food with fewer ingredients. One of my cats has a sensitive stomach and she does very well with this. I feed a scant 1/4 cup each (two cats) 2x/day. They also get 1/4 can of LID each in the morning. Their coats are healthy, not overweight, and neither has ever had any issues with this kibble.

Over 3 months on this food now and we are having good results. The cats are healthy and energetic. We end up feeding them less because they are full faster. The female cat who had a bit of a weight problem has slowly lost some weight and the more active young male has maintained his weight. The coats are sleek and healthy as well and they enjoy eating the food. We combine this dry food with a nutro brand grain free wet food daily. We were a little worried switching to grain free would be cost prohibitive but with the lower amount of food consumed our 2 cats take about 3 months to eat a single bag. That is under 10 bucks a month for dry food. We would feed more dry if we weren't having them share a can of wet food each day to keep moisture in the diet.
