"I have a 10 1/2 year old Australian Shepard who has had allergy problems his whole life. When he was young, we went through a variety of foods after allergy shots made all of his hair fall out. We tried the alternate source protein prescription foods such as fish, potato, venison, kangaroo, and everything else. It wasn't until we found a vegetarian formula (Nature's Recipe) that he showed improvement. About nine months ago, I went into a Petco to buy more food when I was incorrectly told that Nature's Recipe was no longer making the vegetarian forumula and they suggested I try Natural Balance. Even with the vegetarian food, he still had chronic ear problems, with bad allergy flare-ups 4-5 times a year. This almost always resulted in a steroid shot and antibiotics. Since Marley has been on the Natural Balance, he has not had a single allergy problem. His belly no longer shows any hot spots, and his ears have remained perfectly pink instead of always having one with a problem. He also doesn't chew or lick on his paws like he has always done. I am convinced this particular vegetarian formula has taken care of my dog's allergy problems and I highly recommend it. While it is more expensive than everything else you can buy, I have not paid for any shots or antibiotics in about nine months, so I have come out way ahead. This is a great product!"
