Whole Earth Farms Adult Recipe 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 18 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 1 anti-nutrient, Organic Alfalfa Meal (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 1 other sketchy ingredient, Natural Chicken Flavor.

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