Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Indoor Hairball Control Dry Cat Food, 11 lb — Grain-Free, High-Protein

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Indoor Hairball Control Chicken is a high-protein, grain-free dry cat food formulated to satisfy adult cats while supporting digestion and reducing hairball formation.

This recipe centers on real deboned chicken as the top ingredient and is crafted for indoor adult cats aged 1–7 years. It combines concentrated animal protein with a targeted blend of natural fiber sources and Blue Buffalo’s LifeSource Bits — a mix of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals — to deliver balanced nutrition without common fillers like corn, wheat, or soy. The formula excludes poultry by-product meals, artificial flavors and preservatives, and is made in the USA under quality checks to help ensure consistent ingredient accuracy.

How does this food help control hairballs for indoor cats?

The formula includes a mix of natural fibers chosen to support gastrointestinal transit, helping swallowed hair move through the digestive tract more effectively. These fibers are selected to be grain-free, with the goal of reducing the frequency of hairball regurgitation compared with lower-fiber diets.

• Natural fiber blend formulated specifically for indoor cats
• Grain-free sources reduce unnecessary fillers
• Designed to promote smoother digestion and hair passage

What nutritional benefits does the chicken recipe provide?

Real deboned chicken is the primary protein, helping support lean muscle maintenance and an energy-dense diet for less active indoor cats. The recipe balances protein, fat and complex carbohydrates to deliver palatability while meeting AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance.

• Real chicken as the first ingredient for high-quality animal protein
• Balanced macronutrients to support adult cat body condition
• Includes LifeSource Bits with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals

Are there any common allergens or artificial ingredients in this formula?

This Blue Buffalo Wilderness product is free from corn, wheat, soy and artificial flavors or preservatives, and it does not contain chicken or poultry by-product meals. It’s a grain-free formula designed to avoid certain common dietary fillers while still supplying essential nutrients.

• No corn, wheat or soy
• No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
• No poultry by-product meals

How should I transition my cat to this food and monitor results?

Switch gradually over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the old to reduce digestive upset. Observe your cat’s stool quality, appetite and coat condition during the transition and adjust portion sizes according to activity level and body weight.

• Mix 25% new food on days 1–2, 50% on days 3–4, 75% on days 5–7, then 100%
• Check stool consistency and appetite as indicators of tolerance
• Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding amounts and concerns
