Natural Balance Original Ultra Whole Body Health Puppy Formula Chicken
Natural Balance Original Ultra Whole Body Health Puppy Formula 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 25 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Pea Fiber, and Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 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.
