Natural Balance Original Ultra Whole Body Health Chicken

Dog Food > Dry Dog Food > Natural Balance

Natural Balance Original Ultra Whole Body Health Chicken 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 26 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Peas, Pea Protein, and Potatoes (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 2 other sketchy ingredients, including Natural Flavor and Dried Tomato Pomace.

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.
