They have had health problems, but have no digestive or potty problems. His bladder infection has not reoccurred. This is wonderful. Thanks for making it.

Top of the line ingredients, human food grade-- in addition to the indoor cat formula there's a chicken version and a fish version. This food meets a very high standard. No yucky meat "by-products", meat and meat meals are the top ingredients, plus a host of wholesome and varied ingredients and probiotics. <br /> <br />On top of that, this is an incredibly palatable food. My cat LOVES it. In fact, she scarfs it right down, when she typically has just grazed on a piece or two at a time of other premium foods. I have to be careful to use a measuring cup and not overfeed her, 'cause she will seek me out and meow for more! <br /> <br />Blue Buffalo uses a unique process to manufacture "lifebits" which are added to the food. These smaller, darker pieces are cold formed in order to maintain nutrients. I don't believe any other company incorporates this kind of element into cat or dog food. <br /> <br />I came across this cat food at the local Tractor Supply. I'd never heard or read about Blue Buffalo, but I respect what they are doing, and I've changed to Blue Buffalo dog food for my golden retrievers, too. <br /> <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br />Here's a summary of the nutritional information: <br /> <br />-Recommended daily feeding chart-- amount varies based on age, activity level, breed, and environement, but in general a 5-9 pound cat will eat 1/4-1/2 cup, while a 10-14 pound cat will eat 1/2-1 cup. <br />-One cup contains 478 calories <br />-Major ingredients: <br />Deboned chicken, chicken meal, whole ground barley, fish meal, oatmeal, whole ground brown rice, whole potatoes, chicken fat (preserved with natural mixed tocopherols), natural chicken flavor, dried egg, dried cellulose, whole sweet potatoes, whole carrots, cranberries, blueberries, flaxseed (natural soource of Omega 6 fatty acids), barley grass, dried parsley, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, taurine, l-carnitine, l-lysine, ycca schidigera, green tea extract, turmeric, salmon oil (natural source of Omega 3 fatty acids), black malted barley, dried chicory root, fructooligosaccarides, oil of rosemary, the expected vitamins and minerals, and several probiotics (lactobacillus acidolphilus, bacillus subtilis, bifidobacgterium thermophilum, bifidobacgterium longum, enterococcus faecium). <br /> <br />I hope this helps you evaluate whether or not this food is a good match for your feline friend.

If I am correct this prodect does not use any and that makes it exceptional. One of my cats keeps throwing up but has gotten better on this.

When she died I started researching cat food and the additives. Cats are NOT vegetarians and the first ingredients in many foods was corn or other grains. Blue is chicken 1st and then human grade sweet potato and blueberries. A heathy diet for anyone, but especially for my babies. They were on Blue exclusively for food but we (hubby) still gave them various brands of cat treats. A few months ago we had a problem with severe itching in two cats. I checked and the treats included processed corn (again). We got a second flavor of the Spa Select and we now use that as "treats"...it took a couple of days before they accepted that as their treat, but no more itching. They are happy, contented, energetic and look forward to meal time and treat time. (If we are a bit late, they remind us.)

She gets dry patches on her skin from scratching excessively at what I call "phantom fleas" as she was flea infested when she went into the shelter I rescued her from. Blue Buffalo Spa Select is the first food that I have found that completely gets rid of the dry sores around her neck. It also leaves her coat softer and shinier than ever before. I would like to believe that the "LifeSource bits" are what is causing her to run around and play in the middle of the night; however, I am not completely certain about that. Nonetheless, Jemima is more active since we have fully switched her food to Blue Buffalo! Rating: 5 / 5 I have tried multiple organic foods for my sensitive cat.
