Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Lamb Formula Grain-Free Dry Dog Food
Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Lamb Formula Grain-Free 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 23 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Chickpeas, and Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 2 other sketchy ingredients, including Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols) and Natural Flavor.
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.
