For dogs that show signs of being sensitive to some of the ingredients used in traditional pet foods, less may be more. BLUE Basics is a healthy, holistic, limited-ingredient diet formulated to minimize food sensitivities while maximizing the nutritional value that your dog will receive. BLUE Basics contains:
- Turkey, a high-quality protein not commonly used in dog food.
- Potatoes, rice and oatmeal, three easily-digestible and mild carbohydrate sources.
- Veggies, fruit and micronutrients to increase the nutritional value of BLUE Basics and also help in the digestive process.
For dogs with food sensitivities, the ingredients they don’t eat are just as important as the ones they do. Blue Basics contains:
|
• NO corn
• NO wheat
• NO dairy
|
|
• NO soy
• NO eggs
|
And, like all BLUE pet foods, BLUE Basics contains no chicken or poultry by-product meals or artificial ingredients of any kind.
LifeSource® Bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. These include ingredients that have been shown to:
- Help counteract the negative impact of some environmental toxins
- Help strengthen a dog's immune system
- Help support 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°. Heat can degrade the potency of some vitamins by as much as 75%.
