Performance notes
As an all breed size formula, the kibble piece size is a general medium cut rather than tailored to small or large mouths, and the Limited Ingredient Diet label plus LifeSource Bits are the main structural features noted alongside the 39g protein content.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 1,979 reviews and about 4,000 bags bought in the past month suggest this is one of the more popular sizes in Blue Buffalo's Wilderness Chicken line.
Is this the same recipe as the small breed version?
It's part of the same Wilderness Chicken formula family, but this bag is labeled for all breed sizes rather than being sized specifically for small breed mouths.
What does Limited Ingredient Diet mean here?
Amazon's listing tags this recipe as a Limited Ingredient Diet, meaning it's built around a shorter list of core ingredients such as chicken and wholesome grains rather than a long list of protein sources.
Is it grain-free?
No, it includes wholesome grains such as barley. If your dog needs a grain-free diet, look at a different Blue Buffalo line.
