It contains 20 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 1 anti-nutrient, Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 9 other sketchy ingredients, including Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

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