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.

• Healthy Muscle Development - High-quality protein from deboned chicken, plus chicken meal helps build and maintain strong muscles
• Higher Energy Needs - Increased levels of protein and carbohydrates to help meet higher energy requirements
• Dental Health - Unique "small-bite" kibble is the perfect size for smaller jaws and is shaped to help promote tartar removal
• Joint Health - Glucosamine helps support joint function and overall mobility
• Healthy Skin & Coat - An optimal balance of Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids helps promote a shiny coat and healthy skin
• Healthy Immune System - Essential vitamins, chelated minerals and important antioxidants help support the immune system
