Blue Buffalo Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Large Breed Puppy Life Protection Formula

BLUE Chicken and Brown Rice Large Breed Puppy Recipe is formulated with ingredients chosen specifically for puppies to help address their special needs.  A unique "Small-Bite" kibble size promotes dental health. 

• Puppies love the tasty chicken, and the High-Quality Chicken Protein in this recipe provides is a natural source of Glucosamine and Essential Amino Acids to support healthy muscle development.
• Hearty whole grains like brown rice, barley and oats supply the complex carbohydrates that your puppy needs for energy for their active life.
• Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids promote a shiny coat & healthy skin.
  
• Calcium and Phosphorus are essential for strong bone and tooth development.
• L-Carnitine promotes lean muscle defenses and DHA is necessary for cognitive development.
• Essential Vitamins and Chelated Minerals are included for your puppy's immune strength.
• Healthy Garden Veggies such as whole carrots, sweet potatoes and peas are three of the nutrient-rich vegetables that promote free radical fighters and oxidative balance and are ingredients in every bite of BLUE.

LifeSource^® Bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. These include ingredients that:

• Help maintain a healthy oxidative balance
• Help support a dog's healthy immune system
• Help promote his specific life stage requirements

Importantly, BLUE LifeSource Bits are "cold-formed" separately from the rest of our kibble to help preserve the potency of the ingredients. Other brands that add antioxidants, vitamins and minerals process all of their ingredients together at temperatures as high as 350°F. Heat can degrade the potency of some vitamins by as much as 75%.
