High-Quality Protein
Dogs love our tasty whitefish, and it provides them with essential amino acids they need every day.
Wholesome Whole Grains
Hearty whole grains like brown rice, barley and oats supply the complex carbohydrates that your dog needs for energy.
Healthy Garden Veggies
Whole carrots, sweet potatoes and garlic are three of the nutrient-rich vegetables that your dog will get 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 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%.
 I came across your products at my local pet store. I have three Daschunds and am always conscious of providing them a healthy diet. When I saw your products and saw the ingredients, I bought a small bag to bring home. The dogs loved it. But something else happened that I wasn't even expecting. My female black and tan has always had a thin, brittle coat with balding spots. The vet was never concerned about it. After about a couple of weeks of feeding her the Fish and Sweet Potato blend, I noticed her coat was shiny, full and thick. Her shedding had almost completely stopped. All my friends and family have noticed how beautiful her coat looks.  It's wonderful. I've told my friends and family about Blue Buffalo. And we are definitely a customer for life.
