Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food
Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Chicken Flavor 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 25 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 3 anti-nutrients including Soybean Mill Run, Soybean Meal, and Pea Fiber (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 8 other sketchy ingredients, including Powdered Cellulose and Natural Flavors.
Warning
Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Hill's Prescription Diet recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
