Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Breed Adult Dog Food - Chicken & Brown Rice

Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe

Formulated for the health and well-being of small breed dogs, BLUE Life Protection Formula is made with the finest natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Starting with delicious, high-quality chicken, it features antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies and wholesome whole grains. Formulated with a precise blend of proteins and carbohydrates, this recipe helps support the higher energy needs of smaller dogs.

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.

• Real Deboned Chicken First Ingredient
