Blue Buffalo Wilderness Healthy Weight Chicken Recipe Grain-Free Dry Dog Food
Blue Buffalo Wilderness Healthy Weight Chicken Recipe 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 29 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 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Dried Tomato Pomace and Vegetable Juice for color.
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.
