What is the difference between Blue Buffalo Wilderness and Blue Buffalo Freedom Cat foods?

Both are better than most other dry food on the market, but I prefer the ingredients in Wilderness. Personally, I feel Wilderness is better.

Without being able to see all the information on both bags it's difficult to say for sure. I feed my cats the Wilderness variety. The best that I can tell from looking at many selections of both the Freedom foods look to be primarily for 'indoor' cats. You might want to call the company and ask them. This contact page allows you to send a message or call them direct: http://bluebuffalo.com/contact/

Yes, they are the same. You can get them much cheaper at Amazon, without a prescription, but don't give the treats to your cat like candy. Also, not ALL cats like them. I have 3 cats and only 2 of them like them. If your vet hasn't already, he/she should give your cat 2-3 of the treats to see if your cat likes them, before you buy them. They work very well. Being a former Animal Health Tech, I highly recommend them.

Yes, the one that doesn't have catnip or tuna in the title of the product is the natural (believe some say malt) flavor. I'm in same situation where mine won't touch any flavor either.

No, their duck does not come from China. According to their practices, they said that their brand tends to be more expensive because they do not source their ingredients overseas and they have very strict regulations than the FDA. I emailed the Blue Buffalo team and they said their duck are free ranged and wild. They come from either USA or Canada.

TOTW is a very good food without many of the main causes of allergies, and it is simply better for your dogs long term health. However if you don't know what is causing the reactions, you might want to try Blue Basics. It is specially made by Blue Buffalo for allergy sensitive dogs. You may also want to look at environmental changes you've made such as cleaning products and laundry detergent.Good Luck.

Origen has a small bites version with a Boston Terrier on the bag but I dont think Amazon carries it. Look up Origen small bites dry dog food (Im not sure if it is grain free though). I switched my Boston from NB Synergy to Blue Wilderness Salmon and she loves it! I needed a grain free food because she is allergic to grains and BB Wilderness Salmon fit the bill! I cant believe how much better my Boston is doing!

You want to look for a puppy food. Wilderness should ONLY be given to an incredibly active, working dog who needs the unusually high amount of protein that is found in this food. If you really want to go with blue buffalo, choose the original or blue basics that has lower protein. Dogs can suffer major medical problems from such a high protein content if it is not exerted through 5+ hours of exercise a day.

It's not as high protein as the wilderness line, but it is grain free. My dog likes this food much more than blue buffalo. We will occasionally buy a small bag of the wilderness and mix it in with this, since the wilderness is also higher in calories.

the selection I bought are grain free, the texture is bones and actual fish meat, very little liquid. my cats love fish, but I think this food is to dry and too intense for them, they eat a few bites but leave the majority of the food.

I use Iceland Pure for both my dogs and cats. Like you I tried Grizzly first. I have 3 cats who don't like salmon, they wouldn't eat the food with Grizzly, but will eat it with Iceland Pure. It does have a slight odor, but definitely better than any others I've tried. I've noticed a distinct difference in the old dogs and cats since starting them on essential oils. They move more comfortably and their coats look more vibrant.

Yes it is. I would be careful though because they were bought out and the quality has gone downhill over the past year. I had to switch my cats to a different limited ingredient food.

according to Bluebuffalo.com min protein is 32% not sure about fat. If you go to Blue Buffalo site they have ingredients and more information. You can even compare to food you use now. It made an amazing difference in the coats of my two cats!

The probiotics box is blue. It doesn't have the digestive enzymes. This product has both and I like this one a lot better.

You may wish to try the Blue Freedom line or Basics. Blue Freedom Chicken and Blue Basics Turkey do not have fish listed in ingredients. You can go to blue buffalo's website for a complete list of all ingredients in each bag.
