Formulated to support your puppy's healthy growth and development, BLUE Life Protection Formula starts with high-quality deboned chicken and features wholesome whole grains plus garden veggies and fruit. This recipe is made with the finest natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, like DHA for cognitive development.
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.
