- Is this food suitable for all adult dogs?
- It is formulated for adult dogs of all breeds at the maintenance life stage and meets AAFCO nutrient profiles. Puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, and dogs with specific medical conditions need a different formula or a vet's advice.
- What are LifeSource Bits?
- They are small dark kibble pieces coated with a blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals aimed at immune support. Some dogs eat around them, so you can mix them through the kibble or slightly moisten the food.
- How does it compare with Blue Buffalo Wilderness?
- Life Protection is a grain-inclusive chicken-and-brown-rice recipe for adult maintenance. Wilderness is the grain-free line with higher protein from more meat, so it costs more and suits active dogs or owners avoiding grains.
- Does it contain corn, wheat, or soy?
- No. The formula is free of corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meals, and artificial flavors or preservatives. It does contain brown rice and other whole grains, so it is not grain-free.
- How should I switch my dog to this food?
- Transition over about a week, mixing increasing amounts of the new food into the old. Sudden switches can cause loose stools, and dogs with sensitive stomachs may need a slower change.
- How much should I feed my dog?
- Follow the feeding chart on the bag, which is based on your dog's weight, and adjust for activity and body condition. Fresh water should be available at all times.
