Is Blue Buffalo Rx wet food okay for my picky dog with kidney disease?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 19 years and 10 months old | 9.5 lbs

Hi tony has early renal disease and I’ve tried every brand kidney diet that exists and none keep his interest for long. There is a blue buffalo Rx wet kidney diet but no one recommends it!!! Is this is bad brand ? I’m willing to give it a try since it’s a kidney diet. He is currently eating a royal Canin age 12+ Senior diet that is lower in phosphorus and I add a phosphorus binder as well and he loves it. Thx

Hi there and thanks for posting. The Blue Buffo Brand Rx food for kidney diet has not been around for as long as some of their other competitors such as Royal Canin and Hills renal diets. From my experience, I have prescribed this to several of my renal disease patients and they have done just fine on this diet for quite a while. If the Blue Buffalo Rx is more appealing or palatable for Tony then this may be an ok option for him. I hope this helps!
