It contains 22 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 2 anti-nutrients including Yellow Peas and Green Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Chicken Liver Flavor and Natural Flavors.
Warning
Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Hill's Ideal Balance recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
