Blue Buffalo
Item Details
Satisfy the spirit of the wolf with meat-rich BLUE Wilderness. This high-protein recipe contains more of the delicious deboned chicken your senior dog loves, with wholesome grains like oats, barley, and brown rice, plus glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health and mobility.
Exclusive Antioxidant-Rich LifeSource Bits™
BLUE's exclusive LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists that help support:
- Immune system health
- Life stage requirements
- Healthy oxidative balance
And LifeSource Bits are cold-formed to help retain the potency of their ingredients. This means that we minimize the amount of heat that LifeSource Bits are exposed to during the manufacturing process. It’s the same concept as when you cook vegetables at high heat — the longer you do, the more heat-sensitive nutrients are lost.
