I started using Blue Buffalo after my cat got sick, and he seemed to get better. I had previously used Iams, and never realized they had changed the ingredients over time to be pretty much all corn and gluten. The only issue I had with Blue Buffalo was the price. The last time I went to Costco, I took a look at the ingredients on their brand of cat food, and was surprised to see that the ingredients were almost identical. For half the price, I now use the stuff from Costco.

Do you happen to know the protein content of the Costco brand? I know I have compared some foods by ingredient list, but when you compare the nutritional content there will be variations.
I figure it's money well spent if it keeps my pet healthy.

Blue Buffalo also makes a grain free formula, which is the formula this deal was for. No brown rice is used in the grain free one. Crude protein is 40% minimum.

Quote from figureskater546 : Corn glutten is in almost everything and if you feed you animal something containing that every day it can lead to major problems later in life. Almost every animal food has one toxic chemical or another. The best thing to do is change up foods in a way that allow your animal to clear out those chemicals. Talk to your vet for the best solution. Using the wrong combination of foods can lead to digestive problems, while not using multiple foods can lead to kidney failure among other things.

ok, thank you. i asked my vet when we got both dogs and he actually suggested purina one which is why we stuck with it...ill have to do some research online, thanks again

Does petango carry this product for cat? I have already purchase the brown rice version, but will consider grain free in future. A link will be most useful...thanks. The system is preventing me from repping you again. You have been most helpful

[/QUOTE] The only Blue Buffalo I would recommend is the Wilderness version, because it is grain free. I don't feed my dog food with grains such as Purina, Iam's, etc. Grains are just cheap fillers - basically just junk food. That's why grocery store foods are substantially less expensive. Shit ingredients = shit dog food. It's best to feed raw, but I am entirely too lazy for that. I would avoid feeding my dog oatmeal. It serves no nutritional purpose for a dog. Btw, I don't think bulky is a good thing when it comes to your dog. Dogs should be lean. You should easily be able to feel the ribcage of your dogs.[/QUOTE]

Grains are not cheap fillers, that is marketing which has become very prevalent but is unfounded. They contain significant vitamins and minerals as well as essential fatty acids and fiber. Brands such as Blue Buffalo generally simply substitute a highly refined starch such as potato or cassava which contain less vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Another thing about "by-products". Again this is marketing. By-products are the viscera of an animal such as lungs, liver, spleen etc. By-products does NOT include horns, hooves, hair or scraps picked up off the floor of a slaughterhouse. Most animals actually eat the "by-products" of a kill before eating the "good stuff" because these organs are so high in nutritional value. This particular marketing is exploiting Americans preference for muscle meat, which we consider the good stuff.

I'm a vet student at an American veterinary college currently taking nutrition but also love a good deal. That being said, Blue Buffalo is often used as an example of a dog food brand which is great at marketing while focusing less on the actual nutrition.

Did anyone receive a shipping confirmation from Petango? I placed my order 6 days ago but haven't received anything yet.... Cat's on his last bag of food >_>

I agree Blue Buffalo has great marketing. With the knowledge of a veterinary student, what do you consider lacking in their Wilderness formula? Specifically, the one for cats.
