Large Breed Puppy
Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe

BLUE Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe for puppies is formulated with ingredients chosen specifically to help address their special needs with puppy preferred smaller bites.

The Wholesome Goodness of the Finest Natural Ingredients

High-Quality Protein
Puppies love our tasty chicken, and it provides them with essential amino acids they need every day.

Wholesome Whole Grains
Hearty whole grains like brown rice, barley and oats supply the complex carbohydrates that your puppy needs for energy.

Healthy Garden Veggies
Whole carrots, sweet potatoes and peas are three of the nutrient-rich vegetables that your puppy will get in every bite of BLUE.

The benefits of Blue Buffalo Exclusive Lifesource® Bits:

LifeSource^® Bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. These include ingredients that have been shown to:

• Help counteract the negative impact of some environmental toxins
• Help strengthen a dog's immune system
• Help support his specific life stage requirements

Importantly, BLUE LifeSource Bits are "cold-formed" separately from the rest of our kibble to help preserve the potency of the ingredients. Other brands that add antioxidants, vitamins and minerals process all of their ingredients together at temperatures as high as 350°. Heat can degrade the potency of some vitamins by as much as 75%.
