Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Adult Dry Dog Food with Healthy Grains, Beef & Brown Rice Recipe, 24 Pound (Pack of 1)

I don't normally write reviews unless I really like something, and I have no idea how this stuff tastes.. butOur lab showed sensitivity to a lot of proteins and it took us a number of foods before we found one that seemed to work (a different highly rated fish-based food). Protein issues aside, she seemed to be in very good health and we thought the food was great. In the meantime, she had some other health issues. Frequent mucus build up in the corner of her eyes, sensitive skin, and she would spit up a small amount of water once or twice a day (a couple of tablespoons usually). She would much less often, spit up a lot more water. It was always just water though, not food, and not more than one time quickly, not like vomiting. This later issue got us taking her to see the vet. They concluded it was likely stomach acid-related and recommended we give her a little food extra before bed and maybe an antacid. This seemed to lessen the occurrence, but it never fully went away.Now just after turning 2, we went on a vacation she couldn't go on and left her with a relative. Just before leaving we were unable to get her normal food and were forced to find an alternative to get her through the vacation (the food from this review). It was also fished based and we wanted to see if adding grain back in might change anything for the positive. Getting back from the trip, the relative reported very few water regurgitation issues. We thought she was being nice so we didn't feel bad. Shortly after we were able to get her old food back and mixed the two to transition her back to it. Her water issue seemed to be more common again. We hadn't been back long though, so we didn't think anything of it. This time though, she seemed to have the issue almost any time she got up from lying down. Putting 2 and 2 together I concluded maybe the food was the issue. After stopping all other treats and switching to 100% the new food, the water issues went away.now a few months later she is back to getting her normal treats and is just eating the new food. I can't recall the last time she spit up water, I want to say it hasn't happened at all. In addition, her eye mucus issue is gone. She gets some on occasion, but at a level I would consider normal for any dog. I wish we had thought of this before now, it would have been great. needless to say, this is the food we use now and I couldn't imagine ever changing it. Her energy and attitude are unchanged and she is doing great.

About a year ago I had switched my dog to the Acana Wild Atlantic dog food since my dog loves fish and I had heard great reviews of it.. After a few months on the food my dog developed a cough/choking disorder and also developed a filmy yellowish later inside her ears (she has never had any ear mites nor fleas or any ear disorder). Since the vet was closed other than emergencies for coronavirus I had to wait for an appointment since she didn’t appear to be in distress). I was shocked when the vet told me the cough/choke and ear condition was due to food allergies. The vet said older dogs normally do not develop food allergies and asked if I had switched her diet recently. (The diagnosis was after a thorough exam of labs/cultures and xrays).. I was shocked to discover that she had food allergies since I had changed brands of dog food almost annually throughout her life without a problem (she likes variety ha). In any event, my vet suggested a lamb and rice formula would be best for her and suggested a few brands to try. In less than a week on this food my dogs symptoms vanished. The price is also significantly less than Acana (almost 4x lower). I highly suggest this dog food!

I have a beagle with serious allergies to food! This all beef, no added harmful ingredients that are harmless, Worked! She can’t have any canned food! I boil hamburger in water in my crock pot until well cooked, add a bag of frozen vegetables, let sit overnight and remove all fat. Put a couple spoonfuls on 1/2 cup of dry add a 2 tablespoons of warm water. She loves it and I have no issues. I also give her a small amount in the morning. Dogs shouldn’t go all day until 5:00 without something. She also loves raw carrots, watermelon, apples as a snack. No issues. If she gets into something like cat food, I have to make her sleep in an outside crate because she will have a major problem !

I like and use this product for my pets, but I do not want to have this product auto deliver, please remove the auto deliver from this product, when I need more I will order it. Currently I have 4 bags and I have small dogs, I have food for approximately 2-3 months. Thank you.

The dogs like it, the quality seems really good.Dick Van Patten, who started this company, is doing great work for animals.I guess I don't mind paying this much for a good product.

Seldomly write reviews. We have a 3 1/2 year old Wheaten Terrier. Started on Fromm as per recommendation of breeder and eventually changed to Hills Science Diet (sensitive skin and stomach) approx 6 months ago. Wheatens have issues. We would always have to coax her to “eat”. Ran into a teenage female on Indian Mound Park in Pompano Beach, FL who info’d they had a Wheaten for 15 yrs and this was finally the food that was the cure all; another older male confirmed as well by coincidence. Tried this. Today is day 3. First day, did a blend. I know I should have progressed with a gradual, increasing blend but didn’t. Gave her full tilt this stuff yesterday and today. All I can tell you is that in 3 1/2 yrs, she has NEVER ‘asked’ for her food; however, today she did. She gobbled this stuff like it was going on the prohibition list as of tomorrow. It’s obviously still too early to ascertain if some issues will clear up. Two observations: a) she has not been continuously been licking her paws as she was; and b) she appears to look like she has a lot of spunk…this far at least. Again, this is a very preliminary review based on very early observations and should be read and processed accordingly.Regards,me

Feeding this kibble has helped my dog loose weight. She is satisfied, doing well, and has good quality stools.

I never noticed that this was a small 10 pound bag.DO NOT BUY.Go to your local store and buy the big bag for the same price.

Good food wish it came in a larger size bag

I am very happy with the Natural Balance dog food, our Doberman has allergies to chicken so it makes it hard to find a good food without all the chicken and other additives that are not needed. Buying at amazon with prime shipping free, I save money and receive my food within two days to my door. This would be very helpful for people that are not able to get out a lot.

Item describes 14 pound bag. It is not! It is only 12 pounds. Where are the other 2 pounds? Also, it is "small bites" not normal sized bites.

great product, dogs looks great
