Blue Buffalo
BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet - GI Gastrointestinal Support
Summary
Blue Buffalo BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet – GI Gastrointestinal Support is a dry adult formula developed to promote digestive comfort and regularity in cats.
The first ingredient is deboned chicken, supplying animal-based protein as the primary building block for lean muscle maintenance.
Additional concentrated poultry proteins (chicken meal and turkey meal) plus dried egg product boost amino acid density and digestibility, which matters when digestive efficiency may be compromised.
The recipe lists 36% crude protein and 14% fat, providing ample protein with moderate fat to meet adult maintenance needs.
Carbohydrates are listed at 28 and come from ingredients like tapioca starch and peas, offering readily digestible energy along with some fiber.
A fiber-focused approach is evident with 5% crude fiber and at least 1.0% soluble fiber, supported by pea fiber and flaxseed to help form consistent stools and support gut motility.
Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are provided at 2.5 and 0.5 respectively, with chicken fat and flaxseed as sources that aid skin and coat health while contributing to a balanced inflammatory response.
Antioxidant support includes vitamin E at a minimum 300 IU/kg and ascorbic acid at 100 mg/kg, while mixed tocopherols also act as natural preservatives for fats.
Taurine at a minimum 0.2% supports normal heart function and vision, and the listed metabolizable energy (3622) offers a clear reference point for planning portions and monitoring weight trends.

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.
