Blue Buffalo: BLUE Wilderness – Chicken Recipe is a high-protein, grain-free dry food inspired by the natural diet of wild cats.

Deboned chicken is the first ingredient, delivering high-quality animal protein to support muscle development and energy.

The formula includes antioxidant-rich ingredients like blueberries, cranberries, and sweet potatoes to support immune health and provide essential vitamins.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from flaxseed and fish meal promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.

Exclusive LifeSource Bits™ offer a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to meet the needs of each life stage and support overall health.

The recipe does not contain chicken by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, or preservatives.

Pros:

• High Protein Content: Contains 40% protein from deboned chicken, chicken meal, and fish meal, supporting muscle maintenance and energy for active cats.
• Blueberries, cranberries, and LifeSource Bits are rich in antioxidants, which boost the immune system and combat oxidative stress.
• Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 (0.5%) and omega-6 (3.25%) fatty acids improve coat quality and reduce shedding.
• Digestive Support: Ingredients like dried chicory root and pea fiber enhance gut health and promote nutrient absorption.
• Taurine Enrichment: Contains 0.15% taurine to support heart function and vision, essential for feline health.

Cons:

• Moderate Fiber Content: At 4%, the fiber level may not fully address hairball issues for long-haired or indoor cats.
• Pea Protein Inclusion: Pea protein contributes to the protein total, which may dilute the overall quality of animal-based protein.
• Complex Formula: The long ingredient list may not appeal to owners preferring simpler recipes.
• Limited Omega-3: The omega-3 content (0.5%) is lower than some other premium formulas.
