It contains 26 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 3 anti-nutrients including Pea Starch, Pea Protein, and Pea Fiber (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Dried Beet Pulp and Natural Liver Flavor.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Purina Pro Plan recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
