Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Healthy Weight-Chicken & Brown Rice - 30 lb

Healthy Weight Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe

Formulated for the health and well-being of dogs, BLUE Life Protection Formula starts with high-quality deboned chicken and features wholesome whole grains and antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies. Formulated without the extra calories from fat, this recipe can help your dog maintain a healthy weight.

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.

Formulated With the Finest Natural Ingredients:

• Real Deboned Chicken First Ingredient
