It contains 16 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 2 anti-nutrients including Burbank Potato and Norkotah Potato (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 2 other sketchy ingredients, including Ocean Fish Meal and Tomato Pomace Chicken Fat (Mixed Tocopherols).

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.
