Victor Active Dog & Puppy Formula Grain-Free 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 25 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 3 anti-nutrients including Sweet Potato, Peas, and Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 2 other sketchy ingredients, including Natural Chicken Flavor and Tomato Pomace (source of Lycopene).

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