All the products include real meat - let that be fish or poultry. Along with meat come wholesome whole grains, healthy vegetables and fruits. Blue Buffalo is the only company which puts something unique inside their food - dark kibbles that are mainly a mix of nutrients (vitamins, antioxidants and minerals).

Blue Buffalo Cat Food Reviews

Blue Buffalo Cat Food's humble beginnings were actually inspired by a dog.

Blue Buffalo Cat Food is produced and manufactured by the Blue Buffalo Company. The owners' dog, Blue passed away due to cancer. Not being satisfied with the vet's response, they went ahead and did their own research and developed pet food of their own. Blue Buffalo takes pride in using only the finest, all-natural human grade ingredients in their products. Having started with food for dogs, they have expanded their product line and developed cat food as well.

A few years ago, their cat food was actually affiliated with 'American Nutrition'. This was changed about three years ago when they found out that a specific rice protein contaminated their formulas. Blue Buffalo took the liberty of recalling all available Blue Spa products and consequently changed its name. Being strong advocates of the fight against environmental toxins in food for pets, this remains to be an important aspect of their mission today.

Blue Buffalo Cat Food has two kinds: the dry food as well as the canned version. The Blue Longevity product is being sold in 2 and 5 pound bags. Blue Spa Select dry cat good are produced in 3, 7 and 15 pound bags. There are also what we call the Blue Wilderness Formula, sold in 2, 6 and 12 pound bags, and the Blue Organic dry food also in the same size bags.

What's great about this food brand is that they are able to differentiate the vitamins and nutrients that our cats need, depending on their age. The Blue Longevity formula includes one for kittens, another kind for adults and the last one for mature cats. They are even able to differentiate the protein and fat content for a specific group. For example, a Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice Cat Food for kittens would have 36% protein and 20% fat. The ones for adults (Blue Buffalo Adult Cat Chicken and Brown Rice) would have lesser protein at 34% and fat content at 18%.

Different ingredients are being used, but one thing is certain: everything that goes into their food have no artificial flavors, preservatives or additives. If your cat does not like chicken, they also offer a salmon and rice combination. And there are more options to choose from! Indoor cats with sensitive skin have their own customized food; so does healthy indoor cats. If you want your cat to lose a little bit of weight, you can feed him the Cat Weight Control Cat Food which only has 28% protein and 9% fat. Talk about a product that really tailor-fits their food to your exact nutrition needs!

If you are new to trying the Blue Buffalo products, it would be best to give it to them gradually until they get used to the taste. While other cats may not appreciate it at first, you can be sure that the health of your beloved pets will be taken care of. Once they get used to it, expect your cat to follow you around the house until you give them their new meal!

How To Choose The Best Cat Food Brands Your Cat Deserves

How To Choose The Best Cat Food Brands Your Cat Deserves By Moses Wright

From Purina, Friskies, 9Lives to Lams, there are so many cat food manufactures out there with large corporation owning several different product lines to cater to different market needs. For example, Del Monte owns 9lives, Kibbles & Bits and Nature's Recipe; Mars owns Waltham, Sheba, Whiskers and Royal Canin; Procter & Gamble owns Eukanuba and Iams; and Nestle owns Alpo, Friskies and Ralston Purina, to just name a few.

If you are wondering what cat food brand is the best out there, this article might just help answer your question.

For some strange reason, most highly likely to be for profit reasons, these large companies products quality can differ to large extent. For example, one large manufacturer's "natural" cat food is touted as premium with complete and balance nutrition with no artificial preservatives. At the company product site, it describes the differences between their natural formula and other premium cat food and state that their line never uses beef or wheat. Only "highly digestible ingredients like chicken and rabbit meat to provide for protein, rice for carbohydrates..." are used.

Described to be without any artificial preservative, flavors or color and that the formula "uses protein and fat that are preserved with mixed tocopherols, not synthetic preservatives." This line does not use any chemical preservatives, such as ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT. It is naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols", which is supposedly the best and healthiest choice for cats.

On the other hand, the same company produces another range of standard-fare commercial line cat food. This line dry food label start off with the largest ingredient corn followed by chicken by product meal, wheat, corn gluten meal, beef and bone meal, preserved with BHA... and after some vitamin supplements, the label notes caramel coloring, natural and artificial flavors, taurine, yellow 5, red 40 and blue 1.

A further research show that another large cat food manufacturer's "natural" product is virtually the same formula of ingredients as its other product line, just noting that there are no preservatives. (But both the regular and the "natural" product are preserved with mixed tocopherols!)

A discerning consumer may find flaw if not ethical concern when the very same company can tout the healthy benefits of not having BHA and artificial colors in one of its products while creating other products that do have BHA and artificial colors.

One might need to question what that means with regard to the premium food, and is there an ethical issue with having both a sort of sub-premium food and supposed premium food while marketing the nutrient wonders of both? Or are these companies looking out for their own pockets or your cat health?

These questions are for the consumer to ponder. You may or may not take issue with it. Nevertheless, you do need to know that apart from reading the label, "premium and natural" marketing tactics may not be true in all sense that you think it is.

The answer when deciding what type of cat food to feed your cat may not be the brand or even what company own the product lines or how well done the marketing campaign is for the cat food. The answer is really in the label as well as your own knowledge and veterinary advice on what type of cat food is suitable for a healthier and happier cat.
