Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Mature Consult Canned 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 23 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 1 anti-nutrient, Carob Bean Gum (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 6 other sketchy ingredients, including Guar Gum and Natural Flavors. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.
