Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet W+M Weight Management + Mobility Support 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 38 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 9 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Peas, and Tapioca Starch (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 5 other sketchy ingredients, including Garlic and Vegetable Juice for color.
