It contains 18 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Green Beans, Potato Starch, and Pea Protein (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Caramel Color and Natural Flavor. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

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