Summary

Blue Buffalo’s BLUE Tastefuls Multi-Cat Chicken and Turkey Recipe is designed for adult multi-cat households.

It offers balanced nutrition with deboned chicken and turkey as the primary ingredients.

These high-quality proteins promote muscle development and sustained energy.

The formula also includes whole grains like brown rice and barley for digestive health and flaxseed for Omega-3 fatty acids, which support a shiny coat and healthy skin.

Additionally, taurine is included to support heart and eye health, which is crucial for cats of all ages.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content (32%): The combination of deboned chicken, turkey, and chicken meal ensures rich, lean protein sources essential for muscle maintenance in active, multi-cat households.
  • Inclusion of Omega-3 and Omega-6: Flaxseed contributes essential fatty acids that promote healthy skin and coat, a vital benefit for cats, especially those with coat sensitivities.
  • Taurine Supplementation: This essential amino acid supports heart and eye health, which is critical for the well-being of all cats.
  • Whole Grains for Digestive Support: Ingredients like brown rice and barley provide fiber and complex carbohydrates that aid digestion and offer a stable energy source.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content (16%): While this fat level supports active cats, it may be higher than needed for less active cats, leading to potential weight gain.
  • Potential Allergens: Ingredients like fish oil and dried egg products could pose a risk to cats with specific food sensitivities or allergies, making it less suitable for some.
  • Grain Content: The inclusion of brown rice and barley may not suit cats with grain sensitivities, limiting its appeal to those preferring grain-free options.

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.
