Blue Buffalo Health Growth Kitten Chicken Dry Cat Food

BLUE^™ Healthy Growth Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe For Kittens

Formulated to support the health and well-being of your feline friend, BLUE for Cats features only the finest natural ingredients:

Delicious, protein-rich Deboned Chicken
Wholesome whole grains and veggies
NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals

And because growing kittens have special needs, BLUE for Kittens is formulated with ingredients chosen specifically to help them grow up strong and healthy.

Exclusive LifeSource Bits^®

BLUE LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists that 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.
