Blue Buffalo Blue Wilderness Red Meat with Wholesome Grains for Adult Dog - 24 lb

Inspired by the diet of wolves who have roamed the American West for centuries, Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe is a protein-rich food that features deboned beef, lamb, and venison to help your dog embrace his wild side.

Features

• Formulated with the finest natural ingredients
• Real deboned beef first ingredient
• No chicken (or poultry) by-product meals
• No artificial flavors or preservatives
• No corn, wheat or soy

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.
