Wholesome Ingredients for a Healthy Life
BLUE Wilderness™ is built on the foundation of providing superior nutrition through carefully selected ingredients, each contributing unique benefits to your cat’s well-being.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:
- Chicken: As the primary protein source, deboned chicken is essential for muscle development and maintaining high energy levels in active cats.
- Chicken Meal: This concentrated source of protein provides supplemental energy and nutrients, also aiding in efficient digestion.
