High-Protein Grain-Free Chicken Paté for Mature Cats (Age 7+)
Product Description
Blue Buffalo Wilderness High-Protein Grain-Free Chicken Recipe for Mature Cats is designed to reflect the lynx's spirit and address the nutritional requirements of cats 7 years and older. Made with real chicken as the first ingredient, this smooth pâté provides the necessary protein for energy and lean muscle maintenance in aging cats. The formula includes fish oil for omega-3 fatty acids and DHA to support cognitive function, skin, and coat health. L-carnitine helps maintain a healthy weight in less active senior cats, while taurine supports heart and eye health. Its moisture content of up to 78% helps ensure proper hydration, crucial for kidney health in older cats. Free from grains, corn, wheat, soy, and poultry by-product meals.
Benefits
- Real Chicken First: Made with real chicken as the first ingredient, providing high-quality protein to support lean muscle maintenance in older cats.
- Fish Oil for Brain & Coat Health: Includes fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA, helping support cognitive function, natural skin health, and a shiny coat in aging cats.
- L-Carnitine for Healthy Weight: Contains L-carnitine, an amino acid that supports healthy weight management by helping convert fat into energy — particularly beneficial for mature cats with lower activity levels.
- Supports Daily Hydration: High moisture content of up to 78% contributes to daily fluid intake, helping support kidney and urinary tract function in older cats.
- Taurine for Heart & Eye Health: Contains taurine, an essential amino acid cats cannot produce on their own, to support healthy heart function and vision.
- No Artificial Additives: Contains no chicken or poultry by-product meals, no corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, or preservatives.

Directions For Use
- Refrigerate Leftovers: Refrigerate unused portions promptly after opening and use within 2–3 days.
- Transition Gradually: When switching foods, start by mixing 25% of the new food with 75% of the previous food and gradually increase the new food proportion over 14 days.
- Adjust as Needed: Individual requirements may vary based on activity level, metabolism, and overall health; adjust portions to maintain an ideal body condition.
- Fresh Water: Always ensure your cat has access to clean, fresh water at all times.
- Consult Your Vet: Work with your veterinarian to confirm the right daily amount for your mature cat's specific health needs, particularly given the increased prevalence of kidney, thyroid, and dental issues in older cats.
Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet's health.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Mature Cats (7+) Formula: This formula is specifically tailored for cats aged 7 and above, with a calorie level appropriate for the naturally lower activity levels of older cats. The caloric content (96 kcal per 3 oz. can) is lower than that of the standard adult Wilderness chicken wet food.
- Gradual Transition: Switching foods abruptly can cause digestive upset in cats of any age; always transition over 14 days.
- Monitor Body Condition: Mature cats are prone to both weight loss and weight gain as they age; monitor regularly and adjust feeding amounts accordingly.
- Storage: Refrigerate unused portions after opening in a covered container; use within 2–3 days.
- Veterinary Guidance: Older cats are more likely to have underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or dental issues. Consult your veterinarian before introducing a new diet, especially for cats with a known diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What age is this formula intended for?
Ans: This recipe is formulated specifically for mature cats aged 7 and older. Its nutrient profile, including adjusted calorie density, added fish oil for cognitive and coat support, and L-carnitine for weight management, is designed to meet the unique needs of aging cats.
Q2: Is this formula grain-free?
Ans: Yes, this recipe is 100% grain-free. It contains no oats, barley, rice, wheat, or corn, making it suitable for mature cats on grain-free diets.
Q3: Why does this formula contain fish oil, and what does it do?
Ans: Fish oil is included as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. In mature cats, these nutrients help support cognitive health, natural skin condition, coat quality, healthy weight, and kidney function, all areas of growing importance as cats age.
Q4: Does this food contain L-carnitine?
Ans: Yes. L-carnitine is included at a minimum of 10 mg/kg. It is an amino acid that helps the body convert fat into energy and supports healthy weight management, which is beneficial for older cats that tend to be less active.
Q5: Does this food contain taurine?
Ans: Yes. Taurine is included because cats cannot synthesize it on their own. It is an essential amino acid that supports healthy heart function and vision, and is particularly important for the long-term health of aging cats.
Q6: How does the caloric content compare to the standard adult Wilderness chicken wet food?
Ans: This mature formula contains 96 kcal per 3 oz. can and 176 kcal per 5.5 oz. can meaningfully lower than the standard adult chicken wet food (approximately 242 kcal per 5.5 oz. can). This reduced calorie density is appropriate for older cats with lower activity levels.
Q7: Does this food support hydration?
Ans: Yes. With up to 78% moisture content, this wet paté contributes significantly to your cat's daily fluid intake, which is especially important for mature cats who are at higher risk for kidney and urinary tract issues.
Q8: What is the texture of this food?
Ans: This recipe is a smooth paté. It does not contain chunks, gravy, or flakes.
Q9: Does this food contain poultry by-product meals?
Ans: No. In line with the Blue Buffalo True Blue Promise, this recipe contains no chicken or poultry by-product meals, no corn, wheat, or soy, and no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Q10: Can this wet food be mixed with dry food?
Ans: Yes. Combining wet and dry food is a commonly used approach for older cats. When mixing, adjust total daily calorie portions from both foods to stay within your cat's recommended daily intake, which your veterinarian can help determine.
