I've got a nagging question about Blue Buffalo Wilderness Dry Food that I'm hoping members here can help me with. I searched the forums, but didn't find a thread that addressed my specific question.
My cats have been on a combination of various wet foods and Wilderness Indoor Chicken Dry food for about 5 years. At Archie's last check up, the vet mentioned that she has seen quite a few cats with urinary tract infections that are on Blue Buffalo.
A web search turned up lots of antedotal info about links between Blue Buffalo and urinary infections in cats. Unfortunately, most of the info I've found doesn't distinguish between the regular varieties of Blue Buffalo and Wilderness. From my reading of the label, the Wilderness varieties seem to be quite low in ingredients that are typically associated with UTI. It's one of the reasons that I chose this brand. That and it is grain free and lower in calories than some other brands.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Wilderness variety and UTI? And if I need to transition to a new dry food, what grain free, low calorie options should I consider?
Any help or insights will be most appreciated.
