Do you know what is the best food for your growing puppy?
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%.

 "I want to thank you for your wonderful product. Our family dogs, 10 year old Yorkshire terriers Buster and Buddy, have started having declining health in their advancing age. Buster is in the early stages of kidney failure and buddy has had terrible chewing problems. After doing hours of research online, I suggested to my mom we switch them to Blue Buffalo. Even though they are picky eaters, they really took to the dog food. Since then, their health has improved dramatically. According to a recent blood panel, Buster's kidney issues have all but disappeared and Buddy has not been chewing himself. Their quality of life has improved and in return, so has ours! I am very thankful to you and your team for your wonderful product. "
