Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food
Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe 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 30 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 5 anti-nutrients including Peas, Potatoes, and Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Caramel Color and Garlic.
Warning
In June 2019, the FDA implicated Blue Buffalo's dog food in at least 10 cases of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
