It contains 29 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 3 anti-nutrients including Peas, Tapioca, and Pea Fiber (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 1 other sketchy ingredient, Natural Flavors.

Warning In June 2019, the FDA implicated Earthborn Holistic's dog food in at least 10 cases of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
