Overview
A 28 lb bag of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken formula dry kibble for adult dogs of all breed sizes. It pairs chicken with wholesome grains and fruit and vegetable ingredients, and is formulated as a limited ingredient, corn-free diet.
This sits in Blue Buffalo's Wilderness line, which leans on higher protein content (39g per the label) rather than a grain-free claim, since barley and other grains are included here. The LifeSource Bits additive and corn-free formulation are the two things that separate it from a standard chicken kibble.
- Chicken plus wholesome grains recipe
- LifeSource Bits nutrient blend
- Corn-free, all breed sizes
- 39g protein per the label
Who it's for
Owners feeding a medium to large adult dog who want a higher-protein kibble without switching to a raw or grain-free diet. Not intended for puppies, since the age range description is Adult only.
