Rachael Ray Nutrish Natural Chicken Paw Pie Natural Grain-Free Wet 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 21 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Sweet Potatoes, and Green Beans (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Caramel (color). Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

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