Ingredient Review
Our review of BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet HF Hydrolyzed for Food Intolerance Grain-Free Wet Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Salmon Hydrolysate. Salmon hydrolysate is protein sourced from salmon, with its amino acids isolated and pre-digested. When added to pet food, salmon hydrolysate can make it easier for your companion to digest and absorb the protein and amino acids.
The second ingredient is Water. Water is added to pet food as a blending agent, or as a thinning agent. It is typically found in wet or moist foods rather than in dry kibble.
The third ingredient is Potato Starch. Potato starch is a grain-free, gluten-free carbohydrate. The potato starch in pet foods also contributes to texture.
The fourth ingredient is Natural Flavor. In pet food, natural flavor can come from animal products, plant sources, or even minerals. Natural flavor is added to pet food to increase palatability, helping your companion enjoy their meals more.
The fifth ingredient is Pea Fiber. Pea fiber is sourced from the hulls of yellow field peas. The pea fiber in pet food is a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which may benefit your companion’s digestive system.
When we analyzed the ingredients in BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet HF Hydrolyzed for Food Intolerance Grain-Free Wet Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from fish based sources.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
