Furry PI's verdict

Blue Buffalo Tastefuls Flaked holds up well under the magnifying glass. A strong share of its calories comes from protein. It isn't flawless — the "fish" on the label doesn't name its species. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

  • Contains unnamed "fish" — the species isn't specified.
  • Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.

What works

  • A strong share of its calories comes from protein.
  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
  • Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
