Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet K+M Wet Cat Food, Kidney + Mobility Support Formula, Veterinarian Prescription Required, Chicken, 5.5-oz Can (Pack of 24)

Update! My two 11 year olds are still eating this food! In addition to me mixing it with the Blue Wilderness Mature Cat formula, I also heat it up for about 15 seconds in the microwave and they seem to really like that. But the best news is they had their check up with the vet and they got a clean bill of health! No kidney concerns and keep doing what I am doing because it’s working!We all know the “tastes good vs good for you” adage. Well apart it’s the same with our pet foods. My cats love the Blue line foods in general which I am so grateful for. However, I had to talk them into liking the Veteranary’s Diet. My Vet highly recommended a Kidney Support Diet for my cats as they are older and showing some signs of early kidney problems. She thought a change in diet would remedy the issue. At first they would nibble at it and then turned their nose up at it. I wasn’t giving up! I paid a lot of money and my cats health is important. I now mix the Veterinary Diet with the Blue Wilderness and they will now eat all of it! Success! Luckily the Veterinary Diet Kidney Support also comes in a dry formula, and my cats love it! Both are 11 years old and you wouldn’t even know it. They thrive well on this food!

I've tried every brand mentioned by my vet, but both cats that I have had over the years who had kidney disease would always turn up their nose at the smell. I asked Blue Buffalo for a sample can, which they sent me. My cat ate it without much hesitation, as both the Blue Buffalo can and her previous (non-renal) food were both chicken pates. I ordered the case of 24 cans from Amazon, and so far we have gone through 12 cans (at about a can every three days, supplemented with dry food). I also tried the Blue Buffalo renal dry food (kibble), which luckily my cat also eats. Aside from the high cost of the food, I give it two thumbs up.

Good food, low protein, good for aged kidneys! Same food sold in vet office for a bit more! Absolutely ridiculous to have to get a prescription to buy this!!!!! Keeping out old cat alive!

I wish my cat would eat this. Doesn't appear very juicy and looks like brown jello. I'm disappointed. Don't think I blame her. Donated it to needier cats who will eat it.

My cat has been on Blue K&M wet and dry food for 9 months and eats it and is doing much better than when she was on non prescription food. The only complaint I have is that every case of wet food I have bought has had at least one if not several damaged cans. Most the time the cans are just dented. But occasionally the whole can has to be thrown away. The last case ( lot# 20261017U) had several cans that were definitely lighter than the other cans and were half empty when I opened them. Unfortunately, I did not feel safe about feeding those cans to her so had to throw them out. I feel that I definitely have not saved money using the Blue wet food since every case has had an issue. I would like to continue using this food since my cat will eat it, but I really need to see a change in how they seal and pack their wet can food or I will have to change food.

My cat has earlier stages of renal failure. My vet only carries Royal canin and purina kidney foods. Tried both brands with little success. Bought Forza brand on Amazon and at first thought I had a hit, but after a few times that was a no-go too. Then I saw this brand. She'd eaten the normal varieties of blue buffalo in the past so I told my vet to watch for an rx approval coming in. So far she's eaten both the wet and dry blue buffalo kidney foods for maybe 1-2 months faithfully each meal. A+ so far.

Do not let the false-advertising picture of little food chunks fool you - this is NOT flakes, shreds, chunks, or pieces. It’s pate’. My cats have always rejected pate’ and the texture of pate’ makes me want to vomit when scooping it out. As I suspected, they’re rejecting it. $47 dollars down the drain. I gave it 2 stars, because it might be a decent formulation, but that’s of no consequence when your cats won’t eat it.

The Hill's Science Diet being prescribed by the vet is really expensive. I did a comparison of ingredients and saw that Blue Buffalo's version is WAY more natural with far fewer chemicals. The combination of a lower price and healthier ingredients convinced us to switch over.
