Furry PI's verdict

Blue Buffalo Tastefuls Pate holds up well under the magnifying glass. Turkey leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — the "fish oil" on the label doesn't name its species. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

  • Contains unnamed "fish oil" — the species isn't specified.
  • A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

  • Turkey leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • 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.
