Ingredients with Benefits

Wholesome Ingredients for a Healthy Life

View All Ingredients

  • Duck

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

  • Potatoes

    Whole, fresh potatoes provide easily digestible carbohydrates, vitamins B & C, potassium, iron and magnesium.

  • Duck Meal

    Duck meal is a wholesome source of supplemental protein in a pet's diet.

  • 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.

  • Taurine

    Taurine is an essential amino acid that all pets require, but cats cannot create it on their own. It helps support eye and heart health – making it an important supplement for kittens, growing cats and some dogs as well.

  • 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.

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.
