Overview
A 12-count pack of 3.5 oz cups of Blue Buffalo Basics wet dog food in a lamb recipe, formulated grain-free for small breed adult dogs with skin and stomach sensitivities as a limited ingredient diet.
The Basics line is Blue Buffalo's limited ingredient formula, aimed at dogs that react to more complex ingredient lists, with this recipe specifically excluding corn, soy and wheat. The small cup portions and small breed sizing target dogs that need smaller, controlled meals rather than large-breed portions.
