Blue Buffalo Wilderness Puppy Chicken 4.5LB

Product Information:

Inspired by the diet of wolves, true omnivores whose endurance is legendary, BLUE Wilderness Puppy is a grain-free, protein-rich food that contains more of the delicious chicken your puppy loves.

Made with the finest natural ingredients – and no grains.

Deboned chicken, chicken meal and turkey meal supply the protein your dog needs
Sweet potatoes, peas and potatoes provide healthy complex carbohydrates
Blueberries, cranberries and carrots support antioxidant-enrichment

Because puppyhood is such an important stage in any dog’s life, BLUE Wilderness for Puppies features ingredients that support healthy growth and development.


Exclusive LifeSource Bits®:
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 BLUE minimizes 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.
