Black Gold Explorer Game Bird Formula with Turkey & Quail Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

Dog Food > Dry Dog Food > Black Gold

Black Gold Explorer Game Bird Formula with Turkey & Quail Grain-Free Dry Dog Food is hot extruded (which means it's processed under extreme heat and pressure) and made with feed grade ingredients, which are unfit for human consumption. It contains 25 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Peas, Potatoes, and Sweet Potatoes (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 5 other sketchy ingredients, including Canola Oil and Tomato Pomace.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Black Gold recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
