About BLUE for Cats Dry Food

Always features protein-rich real meat

NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals

NO corn, wheat or soy

A Sampling of Premium Natural Ingredients

PUMPKIN: Rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc, plus a good source of fiber to help regulate digestion.

SPINACH: Rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lutein, and also contains quercetin, a phytochemical with antioxidant properties.

CRANBERRIES: Rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, manganese and vitamin K, and supports immunity and urinary health.

BLUEBERRIES: Loaded with vitamins C and E, healthy carbs, fiber and powerful antioxidants for immune system support and urinary tract health.

Formulated to Help Cats Thrive

HEALTHY MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT: High-quality protein from deboned chicken or salmon helps build and maintain strong muscles.

HEALTHY SKIN, COAT AND IMMUNE SYSTEM: Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids help develop a shiny coat and healthy skin. Essential vitamins, chelated minerals and important antioxidants help support the immune system.

HEALTHY HEART AND EYES: Cats cannot manufacture adequate amounts of taurine, an amino acid essential for healthy eyes and heart function. They must obtain this necessary nutrient from their food.

HEALTHY DIGESTION: High-quality protein and natural sources of fiber help promote nutrient absorption and digestive health. Indoor hairball-control formulas feature a unique blend of cellulose and psyllium seed fibers to help reduce hairballs.

HEALTHY WEIGHT: Carefully balanced calories from proteins and fat help maintain an ideal, healthy body weight. Special weight-control formulas feature high-quality deboned meat plus L-carnitine to help develop lean muscles, which also supports weight management.

About BLUE Buffalo

Blue Buffalo began with unconditional love and some furry inspiration from a large breed Airedale, Blue. When Blue's family started a pet food company, their vision was clear. They wanted every pet parent to be able to feed their pet with the same care they would feed family. So they created the #1 natural pet specialty food to help furry family members live happy, healthy lives. Of course, they named it after Blue.

Harvey and George have been picky eaters since joining our family 2 years ago. After trying different types of cat food that Chewy offers, we think we have finally found a dry food they actually are eager to eat. Harvey is a cat who has to sneak up to the dish, smell it thoroughly and then start munching. He is not turning up his nose and walking away anymore.

Great product consistent issues with shipping

Can't say enough good about this product. My cats love this food, and refuse to eat anything else. However, I continue to have issues with FedEx, the Chewy shipper of choice in my area. The drivers keep marking "business closed; unable to deliver" even though I am a private residence, often delaying delivery by several days. This was the fourth time this has happened, even though I have spoken about it to FedEx customer service and the local district manager. I wish I could have input on what delivery service Chewy used for me, as I have no issues with USPS and UPS.

I had 3 cats eating this and 2 started to vomit. I introduced the food gradually and everything was fine at first. Once they had fully transitioned to this is when the vomiting started. I gave it two weeks and the vomiting persisted. I then switched them off to a different food and the vomiting stopped. Apparently hairball food has more fiber to push everything through the digestive system. In some cats this can backfire. The ingredients seem to be quality and I've had good luck with BB's other varieties, but this did not work for 2 of my 3.

Quick and reliable

My Bella has slowly decided she doesn’t like wet food so I pray she will always eat this dry food and not decide she doesn’t like this either
