Exclusive LifeSource Bits
BLUE LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists that 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.
DHA and ARA, important fatty acids found in mother's milk, along with Choline, support healthy development of cognitive learning and retinal function.

An optimal blend of Calcium, Phosphorus and essential vitamins helps promote healthy bone growth.
Special "small-bite" kibble is the perfect size for smaller jaws and is shaped to help promote tartar removal.
