Some dogs just don't do well with grain-based foods. That's why we created BLUE Freedom canned food for small breed dogs. BLUE Freedom contains none of the grains that some pet parents choose to avoid. BLUE Freedom canned food for small breed dogs is made with the finest natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals - ingredients chosen with great care by our animal nutritionists to meet the special needs of small breed dogs. This is an important difference between BLUE Freedom and many other wet dog foods. Some brands use wheat as a thickening agent in their food, but wheat has been known to cause allergies in some dogs. BLUE Freedom Chicken Dinner For Small Breed Dogs is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
