Natural Balance Duck & Turkey Formula Grain-Free Dog Food Roll 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 3 anti-nutrients including Peas, Pea Fiber, and Sweet Potatoes (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols) and Natural Smoke Flavor. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.
