BLUE Wilderness - Indoor Chicken Recipe
Summary
Blue Buffalo BLUE Wilderness Indoor Chicken Recipe is a high‑protein dry food crafted for adult indoor cats, aiming to support lean muscle, healthy digestion, and everyday vitality.
Deboned chicken is the first ingredient, supplying animal-sourced amino acids that sustain muscle mass and align with a carnivorous diet.
Chicken meal and dried egg product add concentrated, highly digestible proteins, while fish meal contributes marine fatty acids that promote skin and coat condition.
The formula provides 38% crude protein and 16% fat, with a stated energy density of 3674 kcal/kg to guide portioning for an indoor lifestyle.
Peas and pea protein offer additional protein and energy, and tapioca starch helps form the kibble without corn, wheat, or soy.
A fiber system featuring powdered cellulose, pea fiber, and dried chicory root delivers 6% crude fiber to help move ingested hair through the GI tract, support satiety, and nourish beneficial gut bacteria via prebiotic inulin.
Chicken fat preserved with mixed tocopherols provides essential fatty acids and concentrated energy for daily activity.
Omega fatty acids are declared at 0.5% omega‑3 and 2.5% omega‑6, supporting skin hydration, coat shine, and a balanced inflammatory response.
BLUE’s cold‑formed LifeSource Bits supply an antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral blend designed to support immune function and oxidative balance while preserving heat‑sensitive nutrients.
Taurine (0.15% min) supports heart and eye function, and added DL‑methionine and L‑lysine help meet essential amino acid requirements for overall protein utilization.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
