Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Deboned Duck – The deboned duck is an excellent 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.

Product Overview
Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck Recipe Dry Dog Food claims to be filled with duck flavor – just like your dog loves – with the nutrition he needs. Blue Buffalo always uses the finest sources for their meat – and meat is always their first ingredient. They claim you can count on them not to use lesser protein ingredients such as chicken and poultry by-products and rendered waste products. This formula also may be beneficial because of their fresh vegetables such as sweet potatoes and whole carrots. This is where the more healthy complex carbohydrates come from rather than grains that can cause allergies in dogs and cats. The blueberries and cranberries provide rich antioxidant support. While wolves eat raw diets in the wilderness, that’s not always practical when you are preparing food for your pet. Blue Buffalo claims that this formula is a convenient replacement, and the next best thing. As a further benefit, this formula contains Blue’s patented LifeSource Bits® which contain additional antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to support overall immune health and well being.
