Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet NP Novel Protein Alligator Grain-Free Canned Dog Food

Dog Food > Wet Dog Food > Blue Buffalo

Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet NP Novel Protein Alligator Grain-Free Canned 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 21 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Potatoes, Pea Protein, and Pea Flour (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Cassia Gum. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

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.
