Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Recipe Dry Dog Food is formulated especially with high protein low carbohydrate food that contains lots of chicken, and is patterned after the diet of wolves living in the wilderness. These carnivores demand lots of meat-type protein for their active lifestyle coupled with complex carbohydrates to give them energy and body warmth for frigid winters. The folks at Blue Buffalo hope to emulate these benefits to help your pet stay healthy and active for years to come. They claim their foods are filled with the goodness of nature: real meat, whole grains, and wholesome vegetables. This product is grain-free and gets its carbohydrates from potatoes and vegetables rather than grains.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Deboned Chicken – The deboned chicken is a good source of protein for dogs as well as adds flavor. The essential amino acids help to build and support muscle and organ development.
- Chicken Meal – is chicken that as a whole has been ground and usually contains a concentrated source of protein. Chicken meal is supposed to be highly digestible by dogs.
- Potato Starch – Is a form of carbohydrate—not as good perhaps as whole grains, but better than corn and wheat products which are considered to be a kind of filler.
- Turkey Meal – Is the whole turkey, rendered and cleaned and ground whole. This is considered a high-quality protein source.
- Peas – Peas are a good source of vegetable protein and vitamin A. They also are packed with fiber to help manage colon health, cholesterol and blood sugar.
