  Real Meat Is ALWAYS The 1^st Ingredient

  

  The most important ingredient on any pet food label is always the first one. Real meat is always the first ingredient in BLUE, which means there is more of that ingredient than any other in our formulas. Meat protein is the optimal source of essential amino acids, which are vital to muscle development.

  Includes Veggies & Fruit

  

  Fruit and vegetables provide essential phytonutrients, antioxidants and enzymes, plus natural vitamins, minerals and fibers. Proven to promote health and wellness, they are also considered highly digestible carbohydrate sources.

  LifeSource^® Bits
  (Cold-Formed Nutrients & Antioxidants)

  

  A precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants selected by holistic vets and animal nutritionists. LifeSource Bits include ingredients that help support immune system health, life stage requirements, and a healthy oxidative balance. And unlike other brands that add vitamins and minerals, LifeSource Bits are cold-formed to help preserve the nutritional potency of their ingredients.

• 

  

  No Chicken or Poultry By-Product Meals

  

  Poultry (chicken) by-product meal consists of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered poultry, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs, and intestines. These ingredients are commonly lower in cost than fresh meat.

• 

  

  No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or
  Preservatives

  

  Preservatives like BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin and propylene glycol provide no nutritional value and have been associated with possible toxic side effects. Many pet food brands resort to artificial colors and flavors in an attempt to make food look and taste better.

• 

  

  NO Corn, Wheat or Soy Proteins (Glutens)

  

  All of these fillers are incomplete sources of protein and can trigger allergic reactions in some dogs. Grain proteins are used by some brands as inexpensive substitutes for meat protein. These grains do not contain the complete amino acid profiles specific for dogs and cats and are not as easily digestible as more nutritious meat-based proteins.
