Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet GI Gastrointestinal Support 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 6 anti-nutrients including Peas, Potatoes, and Pea Fiber (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Apple Pomace and Vegetable Juice for color.
