Blue Buffalo Basics Turkey & Potato Recipe Senior Dry Dog Food - 24 lb

Blue Basics Turkey and Potato Recipe is a limited-ingredient diet formulated for dogs with food sensitivities. This chicken-free formula features high-quality deboned turkey and easily digestible ingredients, plus omega fatty acids for healthy skin and coat.

Features

• No Chicken (or Poultry) By-product Meals
• No Artificial Flavors Or Preservatives

• Formulated With The Finest Natural Ingredients

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 Blue Buffalo 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.
