  • Lamb

    Perfect for pets with limited diets, lamb is a highly digestible protein source providing essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for muscle development, energy and coat condition.

  • Brown Rice

    Brown rice is a natural whole grain that provides pets essential B vitamins and minerals, and high-quality complex carbohydrates for energy and fiber.

  • Flaxseed

    Flaxseed is a rich source of essential omega 3 fatty acids and is a great source of fiber that aids in digestion and promotes healthy skin and coat.

  • Blueberries

    Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamins C & E, potassium and fiber, and support antioxidant enrichment.

  • Cranberries

    Antioxidant-rich cranberries are a great source of vitamins C, E and K, as well as manganese.

  • Barley

    Barley includes the whole grain with the hull and bran and is an excellent source of soluble fiber, plus carbohydrates and B vitamins for digestive health in pets.

  • Menhaden Fish Meal

    Menhaden fish meal is a protein source that supports muscle development and energy.

  • Carrots

    Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium and antioxidants.

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.
