Dog Food > Wet Dog Food > Natural Balance

Natural Balance Delectable Delights Chow-Down Chowder Stew Wet 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 21 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Peas, Pea Protein, and Potato Starch (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Natural Flavor. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

Warning In June 2019, the FDA implicated Natural Balance's dog food in at least 10 cases of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
