Ingredients

Blueberries

Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamins C & E, potassium and fiber, and support antioxidant enrichment.

Chicken Meal

Chicken meal is an extremely rich source of protein, providing pets with supplemental energy and nutrients while aiding in digestion.

Cranberries

Antioxidant-rich cranberries are a great source of vitamins C, E and K, as well as manganese.

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a natural compound found in connective tissue that is particularly beneficial for the joint health of large-breed dogs and aging pets.

Chicken

Chicken is a protein source that supports muscle development and energy.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is a natural whole grain that provides pets essential B vitamins and minerals, and high-quality complex carbohydrates for energy and fiber.

Menhaden Fish Meal

Menhaden fish meal is a protein source that supports muscle development and energy.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a rich source of essential omega 3 fatty acids and is a great source of fiber that aids in digestion and promotes healthy skin and coat.

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.
