Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain-free Chicken Recipe Kitten Food - 5 lb

Inspired by the spirit of the lynx, this Blue Wilderness recipe for kittens is packed with delicious, protein-rich deboned chicken to help build strong muscles, plus DHA to support your kitten's cognitive development.

Features

• Grain-free
• Formulated with the finest natural ingredients
• Real deboned chicken first ingredient
• No chicken (or poultry) by-product meals
• No corn, wheat or soy
• No artificial flavors or preservatives

Exclusive Antioxidant-Rich LifeSource Bits

Blue's exclusive LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists that help 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.
