  • 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.

  • Lamb Meal

    For pets with sensitivities, lamb meal is a highly digestible protein source providing essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for muscle development and energy.

  • 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.

  • Pumpkin

    Pumpkin isn't just a great fibre source, it's also rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help pets with healthy digestion.

  • Cranberries

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

  • Blueberries

    Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamins A & C, potassium and fibre, 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.

  • 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.
