FirstMate Australian Lamb Meal Formula Limited Ingredient Diet Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

Dog Food > Dry Dog Food > FirstMate

FirstMate Australian Lamb Meal Formula Limited Ingredient Diet 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 20 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 1 anti-nutrient, Potato (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 1 other sketchy ingredient, Tomato Pomace.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this FirstMate recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
