Purina Pro Plan Sport All Life Stage Active 27/17 Formula Dry Dog Food 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 3 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Pea Fiber, and Dried Sweet Potatoes (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Dried Beet Pulp and Natural 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.
