NutriSource Grain-Free Large Breed Chicken & Pea Formula 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 24 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including pea starch, peas, and pea flour (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including dried brewers yeast and dried tomato pomace.

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