However, as pet parents seek nutritious food for their cats,
more than half (55%) of cat parents feel they must choose
between food that is good for their cat and food their cat
enjoys, according to a recent study conducted by Blue Buffalo,
the nation's leading natural pet food company.
Blue Buffalo deeply understands this challenge and has been
relentlessly focused on naturalizing cat food for the past decade.
BLUE’s commitment to pet parents has always been that all Blue
Buffalo recipes must meet the brand’s True BLUE Promise of using
the finest natural ingredients—real meat as the first ingredient,
NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals, NO corn, wheat or soy and
NO artificial flavors and preservatives.
Now, with a culinary breakthrough, Blue Buffalo is unveiling
BLUE Tastefuls™, a new portfolio of wet cat food specially
crafted to entice even the finickiest felines while delivering high
quality nutrition through natural ingredients. Replacing BLUE’s
Healthy Gourmet offering, BLUE Tastefuls™ is better tasting and
healthy as ever and sets a new standard for wet cat food.
“At Blue Buffalo, we love our pets like family and feed them
like family. That means never compromising our high quality and
nutrition standards while at the same time working tirelessly to
ensure even the pickiest of cats love the delicious taste of our
recipes,” said Elizabeth Fulmer, a product innovation lead at Blue
Buffalo who led the development of Tastefuls. “With the variety of
recipes Tastefuls offers, there is a mouthwatering option perfect
for every cat’s discerning palate.”
Fussiness at mealtime is real with nearly 40% of cat parents
saying their cat is a pickier eater than a child. Cat parents
report noticing changes in their furry friend’s behavior when they
don’t like their food including their cat waging a hunger strike
(13%), exhibiting angry meowing (12%) or turning its bowl over
(10%). These mealtime protests can become a source of stress,
with more than half (51%) of cat parents saying they must change
their cat’s food on occasion, frequently or have trouble finding
food their cat enjoys. And, more than one-third of cat
parents (37%) have actually tasted their cat’s food or considered
sampling it to make sure it tastes good.
Tastefuls solves cat parents’ mealtime angst with irresistible
cuts like silky smooth paté, flaked entrées and tender morsels, all
with real meat as the first ingredient and made with the finest
natural ingredients plus vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. In
addition, canned cat foods have high moisture content to help cats
get their daily hydration.
- BLUE Tastefuls™ Patés: Even finicky cats can’t
resist these tempting recipes starting with delicious beef,
chicken, salmon, turkey or whitefish. The chicken flavor is
available in three different life-stage formulations for Kitten
(with DHA to support cognitive development); Adult (packed with
protein, vitamins and minerals); and Mature (to help older cats
stay active with energy from high-quality proteins and complex
carbohydrates).
- BLUE Tastefuls™ Flaked Entrées: High-quality chicken,
fish, salmon or tuna is the first ingredient in scrumptious gravy
with brown rice and sweet potatoes.
- BLUE Tastefuls™ Tender Morsels: Mouthwatering real
chicken or tuna is the first ingredient in these delicious entrées
served in savory sauce with wholesome brown rice and sweet
potatoes.
BLUE Tastefuls™ is available for purchase in 3oz cans for
$0.99 MSRP and 5.5oz cans for $1.29 MSRP at
retailers nationwide, including Amazon, Chewy, Kroger, Meijer,
Petco, PetSmart, Publix, Target, Walmart and other retailers. To

About Blue Buffalo
Blue Buffalo, the country’s #1 wholesome natural pet food,
started with a promise made to a lovable Airedale named Blue who
struggled with cancer, the leading cause of death in dogs. His
family, the Bishops, wanted to feed him the best food possible, so
they searched for food with high-quality ingredients, but decided
to create something even better – natural pet food for dogs and
cats with nutritious ingredients, real meat first, and some of the
highest standards in the industry. Since Day 1, BLUE’s team of
veterinarians and animal nutritionists has carefully selected
high-quality, natural ingredients and upheld its True BLUE Promise
to dog and cat pet parents – real meat as the first ingredient with
NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals, NO corn, wheat or soy,
and NO artificial flavors or preservatives. The result is a
portfolio of high-quality, natural food and treats that both dogs
and cats love. This simple idea: “Love them like family. Feed them
like family.” lives on today in every Blue Buffalo recipe.
