Blue Buffalo Life Protection Small Breed Adult - Fish & Brown Rice (15 lb)

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula was created for the health and well-being of dogs. All formulas start with real meat, whole grains, garden veggies and fruit, plus added LifeSource Bits, a precise blend of nutrients that have been enhanced with a Super 7 package of antioxidant-rich ingredients. This Small Breed Adult Fish & Brown Rice Recipe features delicious, protein-rich deboned whitefish and is made with increased protein and carbohydrates to meet the higher energy needs of smaller dogs.

Formulated for the health and well-being of dogs, BLUE Life Protection Formula is made with the finest natural ingredients and features:

• Delicious, protein-rich, Deboned Whitefish
• Wholesome whole grains, garden veggies and fruit
• NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals
• NO corn, wheat or soy
• NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives

And to help support the special needs of smaller dogs, BLUE Life Protection Formula for Small Breeds is made with increased protein and carbohydrates to meet higher energy needs.

BLUE LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists that 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.

Product Benefits:
• Healthy Muscle Development High-quality protein from Deboned Chicken, plus Chicken Meal helps build and maintain strong muscles.
• Higher Energy Needs Increased levels of protein and carbohydrates to help meet higher energy requirements.
• Dental Health Unique “small-bite” kibble is the perfect size for smaller jaws and is shaped to help promote tartar removal.
• Healthy Immune System Essential vitamins, chelated minerals and important antioxidants help support the immune system.
• Joint Health Glucosamine helps support joint function and overall mobility.
• Healthy Skin & Coat An optimal balance of Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids helps promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
