Nutro Puppy Tender Beef

Dog Food > Wet Dog Food > Nutro

Nutro Puppy Tender Beef 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 1 anti-nutrient, Dried Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 7 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Chicory Pulp. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

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