Grain-Free Chunky Duck Bites in Hearty Gravy Wet Food Topper for Dogs
Product Description
Blue Buffalo Wilderness Wild Cuts Trail Toppers Chunky Duck Bites in Hearty Gravy are inspired by the spirit of the wolf that lives on in your dog. Made with real duck as the first ingredient, these protein-rich chunks are steeped in a savory, irresistible gravy that instantly elevates any meal. Pour them over your dog's dry kibble for a mixed feeding experience or serve them on their own as a satisfying snack. Free from grains, corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meals, and artificial flavors or preservatives, they are a wholesome, convenient addition to your dog's daily diet.
Benefits
- Real Duck First: Duck is the first ingredient, providing a high-quality, novel protein source that supports muscle development and energy, and makes this a useful option for dogs with sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
- Chicken Liver Included: Chicken liver adds additional protein, iron, and vitamin A while enhancing the rich, savory flavour of the gravy.
- Hearty Gravy for Added Moisture: The savory gravy boosts moisture intake and encourages reluctant eaters or dogs who prefer a mixed diet to finish their bowl.
- Grain-Free & Gluten-Free: Contains no grains, corn, wheat, or soy, suitable for dogs on grain-free diets.
- Versatile Serving Options: Can be poured over dry kibble as a topper, mixed into wet food, or served on their own as a high-value snack between meals.
- No Artificial Additives: Contains no chicken or poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
