Hill's Ideal Balance Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Puppy Dry Dog Food

Dog Food > Dry Dog Food > Hill's Ideal Balance

Hill's Ideal Balance Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Puppy 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 22 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 2 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein and Green Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Dried Beet Pulp 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.
