Blue Buffalo · Tastefuls Adult Cat Multi-Protein · Salmon & Ocean Fish Recipe

Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Blue Buffalo Adult Cat Multi-Protein. It contains whitefish. To be fair, salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

• Contains whitefish, a lower-quality ingredient.
• Artificial colours or preservatives on the label — vegetable juice for color.
• A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.

What works

• Salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
• Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as salmon and chicken fat.
