Wholesome Ingredients for a Healthy Life
The foundation of BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet™ lies in its commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients. Each component is chosen not only for its nutritional value but also for its specific health benefits:
- Chicken: A primary protein source, essential for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting overall body function.
- Potatoes: Providing easily digestible carbohydrates, along with vital vitamins (B and C) and minerals like potassium and iron, potatoes offer a healthy energy source.
- Dried Egg Product: A highly digestible ingredient rich in protein and nutrients that can also help boost the immune system.
- Flaxseed: An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, promoting digestive health and contributing to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Fish Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA, fish oil supports skin and coat health, cognitive function, and importantly, kidney health.
- Cranberries: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins (C, E, K), cranberries contribute to overall health and well-being.
- Blueberries: Another antioxidant powerhouse, blueberries provide essential vitamins and minerals that support a healthy immune system.
- Taurine: This essential amino acid is vital for feline eye and heart health, as cats cannot produce it on their own. It’s a critical supplement for cats of all life stages.
- Carrots: An excellent source of beta-carotene, fiber, and potassium, carrots support overall health and provide antioxidant benefits.

Feeding Guidelines and Transition
The appropriate feeding amount can vary based on your cat’s age, breed, activity level, and environment. The following are general guidelines:
- 5 to 9 lbs: ¼ – ½ cup per day
- 10 to 14 lbs: ½ – ¾ cup per day
The calorie content is 3,934 Kcals/kg or 425 Kcals/cup. It is always recommended to consult with your veterinarian to determine the precise nutritional requirements for your individual cat.
When transitioning your cat to BLUE K+M Kidney + Mobility Support, do so gradually over 14 days. Mix 25% of the new food with the old food, slowly increasing the proportion of BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet™ while decreasing the old food to ensure optimal acceptance and digestion.
