The Blue Buffalo Basics Adult Grain-Free Limited Ingredient Lamb and Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food is a limited-ingredient diet formulated for dogs with food sensitivities. This chicken-free dog food formula features high-quality deboned lamb and easily digestible carbohydrates, plus omega fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. It's also free of the grains that contain gluten, which some pet parents choose to avoid. The exclusive LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists. These help support immune system health, life stage requirements and healthy oxidative balance. 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. Feel good knowing the dry dog food is made without chicken (or poultry) by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy or artificial flavors or preservatives. Formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
