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.

My Pittie loves the Beef because the bites are small. She is a very picky eater and the vet recommended this. I like that it doesn’t contain a lot of fillers. We tried the Chicken first which she ate pretty well but she seemed to favor the Beef more.

It is pricey, but worth it!

We switched from Iams because our breeder and other rottweiler owners suggested Blue when I asked for suggestions to help with bad breath and gas problems. We tried Blue and there was an in immediate improvement, so we continue to feed Blue to sour dogs. I will say they do not seem to like whatever the small, dark round pebbles are. They spit them out!
