Description
Give your big dog nutrition built for a big life with Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Large Breed Adult Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe. Formulated especially for the unique needs of bigger dogs, this dry food always starts with real deboned chicken, then adds wholesome whole grains, garden veggies, and antioxidant-rich fruit — plus glucosamine and chondroitin to help keep large-breed joints moving comfortably.
Key Features
- Real chicken first: High-quality deboned chicken leads the recipe, backed by chicken meal and fish meal for the protein that supports strong, lean muscles.
- Joint health & mobility: Glucosamine (700 mg/kg min) and chondroitin sulfate (500 mg/kg min) help maintain and rebuild joint cartilage in big dogs and aging pets.
- Lean-muscle support: L-carnitine promotes lean muscle mass, while calcium and phosphorus help support strong bones.
- Exclusive LifeSource Bits: A precise, cold-formed blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists to support immune health, life-stage requirements, and healthy oxidative balance.
- The True BLUE Promise: No chicken or poultry by-product meals, no corn, wheat, or soy, and no artificial flavors or preservatives.
