Ask Susan Peters Cat Food Review:

Blue Spa Select Kitten Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Food l question the use of "natural flavors". How these "flavors" were created (many companies use manure) and why do they need to be added? With Blue Buffalo's history of recalls and their use of chicken fat to entice cats to eat Blue Spa Select Kitten Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Food I would have to pass on this over-priced, average to low quality, cat food as a healthy choice for cat food.
