BLUE Wilderness - Indoor Hairball and Weight Control Chicken Recipe
Summary
Blue Buffalo BLUE Wilderness – Indoor Hairball and Weight Control Chicken Recipe is a grain-free dry formula for adult indoor cats designed to help control hairballs and support healthy weight.
The first ingredient, deboned chicken, provides animal-sourced protein for muscle maintenance, while chicken meal adds a concentrated source of essential amino acids.
At 36% crude protein and 12% fat with 3,398 kcal/kg, it delivers a higher-protein, moderate-fat profile suitable for less active indoor cats that need calorie control without sacrificing lean mass.
A multi-fiber blend—powdered cellulose, pea fiber, and psyllium husks—adds bulk to move ingested hair through the gut and helps promote satiety between meals.
Tapioca and potato starch, along with peas and pea protein, contribute carbohydrates and some plant protein, which help shape the kibble and support energy while keeping fat lower.
Fish meal and flaxseed supply omega fatty acids, with omega-6 at 2.25% and omega-3 at 0.5% to support skin and coat health.
Taurine (0.15% min) supports heart and eye function, and added DL-methionine supplies a sulfur amino acid that complements the overall amino acid profile.
L-carnitine (150 mg/kg) aids fat metabolism, helping indoor cats maintain a healthy body condition.
LifeSource Bits—antioxidant-rich vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds like blueberries, cranberries, turmeric, and vitamin E—are cold-formed to help protect heat-sensitive nutrients and support immune defenses.
Prebiotic chicory root and added fermentation products (Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus) support a balanced gut environment and regular digestion.

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.
