Blue Buffalo Freedom Grain-Free Adult Dry Cat Food, Complete & Balanced Nutrition for Indoor Cats, Made with Natural Ingredients, Fish Recipe, 5-lb. Bag

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.

All of our cats had serious digestive issues. One in particular needed a vet-recommended high fiber diet to stay regular. We wanted to get "healthier" grain-free dry cat food because most of the cheap stuff uses corn gluten as a main ingredient. Most of the dry grain-free cat foods were less than 2% fiber. Blue Buffalo Freedom Grain-Free Indoor is 7% fiber, the highest of all the grain-free dry foods we looked at. Our cats have a bowl of chicken flavor available all day and they get the fish flavor as a treat in the evenings. They seem to love it, especially the fish flavor. Plus, we were able to take the plugged up cat off laxatives with the high fiber diet. The ingredients are still questionable to me: Tapioca starch, peas, potato starch, powdered cellulose, flaxseed, sweet potatoes, carrots, blueberries, cranberries... those don't sound like normal cat foods. Compared to most other dry foods, however, this definitely seems to be a good choice. Our cats have been eating it for almost two years now. Update: Both times we've bought the fish flavor in an 11lb bag our cats refuse to eat it. I don't know if it's a quality control issue or finicky cats. We've had no issues with 11lb bag of chicken flavor or 5lb bags of either flavor, but we won't buy fish flavor in 11lb bags anymore.

This and the increasingly harder-to-find fish flavor are my two cats' favorite dry food. I appreciate the quality ingredients but just wished it wasn't so ridiculously expensive. If they ever discontinue this I'll be hard pressed to find something as good as their ingredient list. I try to avoid as much as possible unnecessary chemicals, grains and fillers, and foods that wouldn't naturally be in a cat's diet.

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!

Good price for good cat food
