Puppies love our tasty lamb, and it provides them with essential amino acids they need every day.
Wholesome Whole Grains
Hearty whole grains like oatmeal and barley supply the complex carbohydrates that your puppy needs for energy.
Healthy Garden Veggies
Whole carrots, sweet potatoes and garlic are three of the nutrient-rich vegetables that your puppy will get in every bite of BLUE.

Do you know what is the best food for your growing puppy?
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%.

 Thank you, BLUE. My Doberman puppy, Sara, was on another premium pet food when I got her, but her coat was very dry and flaky. I started to read pet food labels at PetSmart and found your Puppy Lamb and Rice to be exactly what I was looking for. Sara now has a shiny coat with no more flakes! People stop us and ask me all  the time what I feed her…thank you for your excellent food!
