Exclusive Antioxidant-Rich LifeSource Bits

BLUE's exclusive LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists that help support:

  • Immune system health
  • Life stage requirements
  • Healthy oxidative balance

And LifeSource Bits are cold-formed to help retain the potency of their ingredients. This means that we minimize the amount of heat that LifeSource Bits are exposed to during the manufacturing process. It’s the same concept as when you cook vegetables at high heat — the longer you do, the more heat-sensitive nutrients are lost.

Hates the turkey and potato

a month ago
Tried switching my 18 year old cat to this food snd he won’t touch it. Any suggestions . He usually loves cat food with chicken or Turkey so I thought this would be a great food. Not if he won’t touch it. He is picky. I’m sure it’s a great product just not for him.

Very Pleased with Blue Basics!

3 months ago
My dog loves the taste of Blue Basics Turkey and Potato dry food. It’s also the only dry food he can tolerate. He suffers from food sensitivities so I’m glad that this food doesn’t contain chicken, wheat, corn or soy. We are both very pleased!

What happened?

4 months ago
This is the sixth time I have purchased this product for my golden retriever. However, this bag looked very different from the previous bags as it seemed that the primary ingredient was the small black peas. Maybe something got messed up at the packing plant and the ratio got messed up, but I’m returning the product as I don’t think it’s healthy and the primary ingredients are supposed to be turkey and potatoes peas are the fourth ingredient.

Recipe Change Causing Too Much Waste

7 months ago
My shih tzu used to like this food but he has never been much of a fan of the so-called "life bits." That has never been a problem until I bought the latest bag a few weeks ago. The life bit ratio is ridiculous and though he'll eat some of it, the amount of food I'm throwing away is concerning. I hit my limit yesterday when I pulled TWO scoops that were pretty much nothing but life bits. I hope this is a fluke rather than a recipe change because I'm going to have to find a new food if this is the new normal.

Great food wonderful ingredients.

9 months ago
I bought this food a month ago. My dog was having problems with the food that he was eating, kept giving him diarrhea so I was told to put them on a turkey so I found this food and it has done for his stomach. He likes it. he has not had diarrhea in about a month now, his stools look wonderful. I will continue to use this food because it has everything that he needs and I’ve never seen him more happier with no discomfort.
Length of Use:1-2 months

We love this food!!!!

3 years ago
My Luka has a chicken allergy and a hatd time digesting too much protein as a young puppy age. At 10 months we moved him to the adult version and he's good to go. This stopped me from spend over $100 for a 25lb bag of prescription dog food. We love this food and if I ever get anoth dog, well be using blue buffalo. I just wish you made this food in 30 or 40lb bags.
