Dogs love our tasty chicken, 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 just wanted you to know how happy I am with your dog food. I put my Australian shepherd on your senior product 2 weeks ago. She had been having serious skin problems from allergies. Within the 2-week time frame, all of her hotspots have disappeared and her fur is starting to grow back in those areas. I view this as a miracle. I have tried many products including monthly steroid shots to no avail.  My hope is that she will live a long life now with your products.
