Ingredients with Benefits

Wholesome Ingredients for a Healthy Life

View All Ingredients

  • Chicken

    Chicken is a protein source that supports muscle development and energy.

  • 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.

  • Blueberries

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

  • Glucosamine

    Glucosamine is a natural compound found in connective tissue that is particularly beneficial for the joint health of large-breed dogs and aging pets.

  • 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.

  • Chicken Meal

    Chicken meal is an extremely rich source of protein, providing pets with supplemental energy and nutrients while aiding in digestion.

  • Fish Oil

    Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA, fish oil helps support natural skin and coat health, improves cognitive functions and supports healthy weight and kidney health.

  • Chondroitin Sulfate

    Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally occurring compound that helps maintain and rebuild joint cartilage.

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.
