Furry PI's verdict

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Minced earns its high grade honestly. Chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. The overall picture is excellent for everyday feeding.

What works

  • Chicken 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.
