BLUE Basics - Grain-Free Indoor Fish and Potato Recipe

Blue Buffalo BLUE Basics – Grain-Free Indoor Fish and Potato Recipe is a limited-ingredient, grain-free dry food for adult indoor cats that prioritizes simple, digestible nutrition for those with food sensitivities.
Deboned whitefish is the first ingredient, delivering the primary animal protein, while additional fish meal increases protein density and keeps the formula chicken-free for sensitive cats.
At 30% protein and 14% fat with an energy density of 3,592 kcal/kg, it supports everyday maintenance needs for indoor cats when portioned according to guidelines.
Potatoes, peas, pea starch, and tapioca starch provide carbohydrate energy and help shape the kibble, while pea protein contributes additional amino acids.
A 6% crude fiber level from pea fiber, pumpkin, and chicory root (a source of prebiotic inulin) promotes regular stools and helps with fullness between meals.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (1% and 2% minimum) from fish oil and flaxseed support healthy skin, a resilient coat, and a balanced inflammatory response.
Taurine at a minimum of 0.15% supports normal heart muscle function and vision, and DL-methionine helps meet sulfur amino acid needs important for muscle maintenance and coat quality.
BLUE’s cold-formed LifeSource Bits deliver antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals—including vitamin E (300 IU/kg min) and added vitamin C (100 mg/kg min)—to support immune health and oxidative balance while helping preserve nutrient potency during manufacturing.
The recipe avoids corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meals, and artificial flavors or preservatives, which can benefit cats with common ingredient intolerances.
