About this product

What is Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food?

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food is specially formulated for puppies to promote muscle growth, immune strength, and bone and cognitive development. Formulated with ingredients chosen just for puppies, this recipe provides the nutrition necessary to help your puppy to grow into a strong, healthy adult. What's even better is that Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food includes LifeSource® Bits, exclusive to Blue Buffalo Foods, which provide your dog with a precise blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants chosen by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists.

For:

Puppies

Benefits:

  • Made especially for puppies
  • No chicken by-products, corn, wheat, or soy
  • No artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors
  • Real fruits and vegetables
  • Calcium and phosphorus help strengthen your puppy's bones
  • Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids promote healthy skin and a shiny coat
  • Exclusive LifeSource® Bits help promote optimal health

How it Works:

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food contains real protein, which provides puppies a tasty way to get the protein and essential amino acids they need every day - and this recipe contains extra protein to support your puppy's growth. Whole grains, like brown rice, barley, and oats, supply complex carbohydrates. And real vegetables, including whole carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas, go into every bite of the each recipe. Every bag of Blue Buffalo contains small morsels called LifeSource® Bits that benefit dogs by maintaining a healthy oxidative balance and a healthy immune system throughout a dog's stages of life. LifeSource® Bits are small kibbles that contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. To ensure that dogs and cats get the full benefit of these vital nutrients, LifeSource® Bits are "cold-formed" to help preserve their potency. Blue Buffalo is the only pet food that uses this manufacturing breakthrough.

Storage:

Store in a cool dry place and protect from moisture.

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food Directions:

  • Meal Frequency:
    Blue Buffalo suggests feeding puppies three meals per day until they are 6 months old, then switching to 2 meals per day until they are 12 months old.
  • Transitioning Your Puppy to Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food:
    Start by mixing 25% of Blue Buffalo Food with your puppy's previous food. Gradually increase the proportion of Blue Buffalo over the next 14 days until you are giving 100% Blue Buffalo Food.
Tip:

Digestive upset caused by a diet change can sometimes be prevented by mixing some non-fat plain yogurt in with your dog's food each day during the transition. The live cultures within the yogurt will help balance the flora within the digestive system and minimize flatulence or loose stools that are sometimes associated with a diet change.

Very pleased with this quality dog food
Bubba (pug) was 3 months old when he began eating Blue Buffalo “Baby Blue”. He’s enjoyed eating it for 5 months-small size kibble, tasty with a variety of delicious flavors in every bowl. He’s spoiled rotten and expects his “Baby Blue” to be available whenever he needs a little “pick me up”. Will not be buying any other brand of dog food because Blue Buffalo is meeting ALL his nutritional requirements.

completely changed our puppies digestion issues
We were feeding our puppies pedigree puppy and they were all having horrible diarrhea. I made the decision to switch their food to blue buffalo within a couple of days, the diarrhea was gone. I wish that I could feed all of my dogs blue buffalo. It's an amazing food but too expensive for me to feed this to my large dogs

Bella's Favorite
Was feeding our new 8 month old Aussie another brand of food that was given to her until we adopted her. She would leave most of it in her bowl. Switched to Blue and now she cleans the bowl every time!

Dog had seizure
My dog had a seizure after eating this food for 3 days. She has never had a seizure prior to this change in her diet. I have since read online about other dogs who have had seizures after eating Blue Buffalo food. I will not be feeding this to her again.

Quality product & brand!!
Precious came to us as a stray. The folks who found her had her on another brand. We slowly switch the brand to Blue Buffalo and could see the GROWTH difference within 2 weeks. Very pleased with the quality of the food.
