BLUE Life Protection Formula Senior Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe — Dog Food

For adult dogs in their senior years.

Product Description

Older dogs slow down, and their nutritional needs shift with them — fewer calories for a less active body, and support for joints that have been carrying them around for years. This recipe is Blue Buffalo's everyday chicken formula adjusted for that stage of life, with glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health and a calorie level suited to a dog who isn't running as many miles as he used to.

Protein-rich deboned chicken leads the ingredient list, backed by wholesome whole grains including brown rice, garden vegetables, and antioxidant-rich fruit. Maintaining good protein intake matters in older dogs, who lose muscle mass more readily than they did in middle age.

Every bag includes Blue Buffalo's LifeSource Bits: a cold-formed blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals selected by animal nutritionists and veterinarians, with the antioxidant profile geared toward the needs of a senior immune system.

Made without chicken or poultry by-product meals, without corn, wheat, or soy, and with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Benefits

Joint Support: Glucosamine and chondroitin support joint health and mobility in older dogs.

Real Meat First: Deboned chicken is the first ingredient, supplying protein that helps older dogs hold onto lean muscle.

Adjusted for a Slower Pace: Calorie level suited to the reduced activity typical of senior dogs.

Wholesome Whole Grains: Brown rice and other whole grains provide complex carbohydrates and fiber for steady energy and healthy digestion.

LifeSource Bits: A cold-formed antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral blend supporting a senior immune system.

No Fillers: No corn, wheat, or soy, no poultry by-product meals, and nothing artificial.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed according to the chart on the bag, adjusting for your dog's weight and activity level. Split the daily amount into two meals and keep fresh water available.

Watch body condition rather than the scale alone — you should be able to feel ribs under a light layer of fat. Both unexplained weight loss and steady gain are worth mentioning to your veterinarian.

When switching from another food, transition over about 7 days, starting at roughly 25% new food and increasing every couple of days. Older dogs sometimes need the changeover stretched to 10 days or so.

For senior dogs. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bag sealed for freshness.
