great dog food
Date: November 14, 2009
"I was looking for a good quality grain-free dry dog food that didnt cost the moon and didnt have protein/fat levels too high for my senior dog.This brand and formula is ideal,and the natural leaness of venison makes it naturally low fat.Protein is 20% and fat is 10%,making it a good choice for an older dog who may have difficulty metabolizing extra protein and fat.Another plus is the limited ingredients.This formula omits unnecessary ingredients like berries,etc.that your dog doesnt need and may not want.Just high quality protein,fats and carbs in realistic balance."

Excellent Food!!!
Date: October 29, 2009
"Excellent food! My Labs love it! Very healthy!!!! The grain free formula has significantly helped my lab's ear infections. Found out the hard way he is allergic to grains. A lot cheaper than more expensive grain-free food (Instinct). More than one grain-free flavor to vary flavors for them. Will continue to buy!"

Natural Balance Dry Dog Foods
Date: August 30, 2009
"The first I used was the Sweet Potatoe and Fish. This is my first time to try this one. I like these dry foods from NB because they are free from the common allergens. My dog has had no GI upsets, and is happy with this brand."

Healthy food at a great price
Date: August 30, 2009
"I love that Petco has so many holistic brands of food that are good for our pets and contain no fillers, by-products or meals, carcinogenic preservatives, wood pulp, added sugars, and many other things that are bad for our pets. They have just found a steady customer in me that's for sure!!!! Before they came into town I had to order all my pet food online from the manufacturer, what a pain. This makes it EASY!!
My dogs, REALLY love this food, they gobble it up. I have two GSD's, so ordering two 30lb bags and getting free shipping was a super deal, and one I couldn't refuse. It's a super product and one I know will not kill my pets later on down the road.
If you have never fed an all natural, or holisitc food to your pet, I would definitely give this brand a try. You will notice shinier coats, less allergy problems, ear problems, behavioral problems will dwindle (to an extent), etc. Stools will become less and less smelly as your dog is eating a healthy product rather than living on "fast food junk" with traditional commercial brands. Older dogs will gain more energy once switched. The list goes on with regard to the benefits..... I am a firm believer that you are what you eat and one's longevitiy is also determined by what we put in our bodies, why should we treat our pet's any different!!!"

LOVE IT!
Date: August 13, 2009
"Ok so the title of this review give it away! I LOVE this food; well okay my German Shepherd Sasha LOVES this food. She dealt with alot of itching and upset stomach issues for about 6-8 months before I found this product. My vet gave me a script for prescription dog food but the price was crazy. I couldn't afford it. The vet told me she probably has a sensitiviity to beef and chicken and feeding her Purina was making her sick. She did tell me that venison would be better for her. So I did ALOT of research and found Natures Balance and read everyone's reviews and thought I'd give it a try. The price wasn't even that bad. Within 4-5 days her diarrhea stopped and I could tell her itching had gotten less. Also, with the Purina she ate it but could take it or leave it. She LOVES Natures Balance and cant wait till I walk away from the bowl so she can chow down!!! I would recommend this product to anyone. I'm so glad I now have a happy healthy dog!!"

I am amazed
Date: August 10, 2009
"WOW...my labrador puppy definitely has a sensitive stomach, has had runny poops with terrible gas on a number of other foods. The people at our Petco suggested I try this dog food and I really cannot believe the difference. I am so grateful (and I am sure Josey is too!) for this food. It has made a huge difference!"

awsome
Date: June 28, 2009
"I've being feeding my Golden Retriever puppy Natual Balance food since she came home. I tried different flavor but they would make her stool very "unpickable". The only one that really works is the sweet potato and venison.
I highly recomend.

Great BUY!!!
Date: June 3, 2009
"Our puppy needed a diet change due to sensitive stomach. He wouldn't eat much at all. Our Vet recommended this exact type. He finishes his servings now. His dry skin is clearing up due to all the Flaxseed oil. No diarrhea. Great Great Great! its affordable!! All natural! And it is for puppies and adult dogs! I recommend this flavor!"

Highly Recommended!
Date: May 26, 2009
"Ok so after a year of dog food swapping and endless ear infections, we have found that my dog is allergic to chicken. This has been a great limited ingredient diet product that I would recommend to anyone having problems with allergies in their pet. Natural Balance has been great because I know exactly what's in it, and no more sitting down in the dog food aisle to read total ingredients in other brands. Natural Balance has been a life saver."

Great for dogs with allergies!
Date: May 23, 2009
"A few months after I got my puppy, she started chewing on her paws all the time. They got irritated and were bright red. I found out this could mean food allergies. This was the first food I switched her to and she hasn't once chewed on her paws since! Her stools have gotten smaller too."

Best Food for Allergies
Date: May 15, 2009
"I started using this when my puppy was 16wks. The vet said he was too young for food allergies, but after two hot spots and constant scratching I switched him to this food. He is so much better, I even give him the same formula treats. Every time I tried other treats, he would itch. He loves it, so this is what we stick to. I think it's the best. I even got my friend to try it and she has switched over to this as well."

"My lab has allergies that manifest in a constant chewing of the feet and ears that are irritated by bleeding sores. The vet told us it was probably a food allergy. its only been a couple of weeks so far and she is getting better. She loves the food and rushes to her food bowl in the mornings now. In addition to helping with the allergies, her gas problem (room clearing smell) is much better and her coat is soft and shiny without dandruff.
It is more expensive than her previous food, but the results are worth it."

So glad we made the switch
Date: April 20, 2009
"We started out feeding our bulldog Eukenuba but after about 5 months he began getting bumps all over his back. The vet gave us all sorts of medicated shampoo vitamins etc. Nothing was working so I researched on different foods and this one seemed like a good choice. We switched and within 3 weeks his skin was healed and hair was growing back. He loves the taste too. I would recommend this to anyone with a dog who has allergies."

Great for allergic dogs
Date: April 15, 2009
"One of my dogs is highly allergic to fish, wheat, corn and slightly allergic to beets and rice. I searched and researched all the dog foods the vet recommended for him, and this one is the best I found. He loves it and since he's been on this diet, his skin has cleared up and his energy has increased. He's gaining his weight back and he's stopped scratching all the time. I would highly recommend Natural Balance L.I.D Venison and Sweet Potato dog food to anyone who has an allergic animal. It sure worked for Buddy!"

Easy switch to allergen free diet
Date: April 6, 2009
"This food is amazing! My aging pittie began to have itchy skin and more recetly digestive issues...most likely a food allergy developed. I was nervous about switching. She's eaten Sciene Diet for 10 years! After much research and comparison between top food brands, including prescription diets, I decided to try this specific NatBal L.I.D. food. I chose it above everything else feeling the balance of protein, fat, and higher fiber would be best for my dog. It's only been 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier! Skin is less itchy and potty time is getting better everyday. Best of all, she loves the taste and there are also matching treats and canned food. If I already see this much of an improvement after 2 weeks, I can't wait to see her at the end of 12 weeks! Come back in 10 more weeks to find out!"

This is the one
Date: March 24, 2009
"We started using Natural Balance last month when our Blue Merle Collie had his fourth stomach disorder that required yet another vet visit. After using antibiotics and steriods, we went on another search (third time) for a dog food that would agree with his sensitive stomach...Natural Balance was the answer!!! He has no gas issues, no more swollen intestines, great and easy bowel movements and of course a lot of energy!! He loves this food and so do we!!! Great, Great Product!!!!!"
