Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the first ingredient in these cat treats?
Ans: Real deboned chicken is the first and primary ingredient. Deboned chicken is a high-quality protein source that delivers a savory, intensely appealing flavor cats love, making these treats effective even for finicky or picky eaters.
Q2: What makes these treats different from standard crunchy cat treats?
Ans: Unlike typical single-texture cat treats, these feature a crunchy outer shell with a soft, creamy center, offering two distinct textures in every bite. This dual-texture experience makes them particularly enticing for cats and keeps them consistently motivated.
Q3: Do these treats contain taurine?
Ans: Yes. Taurine is listed as an ingredient. Taurine is an essential amino acid that cats cannot produce in sufficient quantities on their own and is vital for maintaining healthy heart function and proper eyesight throughout all life stages.
Q4: Are these treats suitable for kittens?
Ans: These treats are suitable for cats of all life stages, including kittens, in moderation. Their small size makes them easy to chew, but it is always advisable to consult a veterinarian to ensure the treats are appropriate for a kitten's specific dietary and developmental needs.
Q5: Are these treats grain-free?
Ans: No. These treats contain brown rice, barley, and oatmeal. They are not suitable for cats on a strict grain-free diet. Cat owners whose pets have been confirmed to have grain sensitivities should consult their veterinarian before offering these treats.
Q6: Can these treats be used for training?
Ans: Yes. Their small, bite-sized format and rich chicken flavor make them highly effective as a training reward or everyday positive reinforcement treat. The portable pouch packaging makes them convenient to carry and dispense during sessions.
Q7: Are these treats free from artificial preservatives and poultry by-products?
Ans: Yes. These treats contain no poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives. They are naturally preserved with citric acid, mixed tocopherols, and rosemary oil.
Q8: What sizes are these treats available in?
Ans: These treats are available in 2-oz, 5-oz, and 12-oz bags and a 12-oz tub, offering options for everyday use, on-the-go treats, or households with multiple cats.
Q9: Where are Blue Buffalo Bursts manufactured?
Ans: All Blue Buffalo products are manufactured in the United States. Most primary ingredients, including chicken, are U.S.-sourced. Internationally sourced vitamins and minerals are subject to rigorous quality testing before use in any product.
Q10: How should these treats be stored after opening?
Ans: Reseal the bag or tub tightly after each use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain the freshness, crunch, and creamy texture of the treats until fully consumed.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.

5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.
For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.

After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
