My dogs have recently developed a chicken allergy. One had a yeast-based ear infection, and the other an inflamed paw. This kibble seems to be doing the trick. Their stools are firmer, and there is less of a yeasty smell coming from their paws and ears. So far no infections. They seem to enjoy this food very much, even though they are small dogs.

I have been feeding this for about 6 months now and am so happy that I found this product. Based on my vet’s recommendation, I began with the chicken flavor. My dog’s GI tract is extremely sensitive, and it took some trial and error to find this flavor which agrees with my dog’s digestion as it turns out that he is allergic to chicken! I highly recommend this brand and flavor!!

Such a relief to see larger formats FINALLY back in stock after approx. 4 months OOS. I had been in touch with the manufacturer to confirm it was caused by supply chain constraints, not that it’s being discontinued, which I feared. My dog has food allergies and our vet recommended single animal protein sources from fish or game meat such as venison. On top of that, she is picky. I’m so happy we discovered this food because it has been successful with her. She LOVES this food! Again, I am relieved that it’s finally restocked.

Natural Balance venison has been the best, for my older dog digestive issues…!!! No more loose stool or upset stomach

My dog has developed an allergy to chicken and needed to find a novel protein he hadn’t eaten. This limited ingredient venison food seems to be helping his tummy troubles and he likes the taste which is the most important thing. His stools have improved tremendously since he has been on this product. I like that it does not have a dog food smell.

good for my dog’s allergies – that is why I pay your high prices for one of the “smallest” large bags on the market. I would only recommend this food if your dog has severe allergies because of the cost and the small size of the largest bag.

Anml_Nrs (verified owner) –
My dog loves the Venison and Sweet Potato. I just wish it was not grain free. I’m having to make rice to add to it so there’s some grain. GF diets were all the rage, as corn is a cheap protein that is used in most cheaper dog food, and some dogs are allergic to it. But GF diets also can be attributed to cardiac issues later in life.
Misty2019 (verified owner) –
My dog was recommended this diet for her skin allergies 2 years ago. After the ownership of company was sold, they changed their formula. They deny any major changes; however, the color is different, the size and shape of the kibble is different, and most importantly my dog is breaking out and itching again. Please go back to the original formula.

The food caused both dogs to have internal bleeding, I am now battling with skin sores that are full of puss. I have been a Natural Balance customer for 11 years and i find i have to return at least 3 to 4 bags of food a year now, so I am finished with the brand. Petsmart has been awesome with exchanging or refunding everytime.

JamieH74 (verified owner) –
Our 2 year old Mountain Cur has some serious food sensitivities. This brand with limited ingredients has been great for her. It’s an excellent source of protein and a good balance of nutrition that she needs. I gave it one less than perfect star because the smell of the Venison & Sweet Potato one is not good. Also she wreaks of the same smell after eating it as well as her feces has the same horrid smell. It smells like cat urine to me. We don’t have cats. I read up on Venison and what I came up with is that is just the smell of the meat. We do not like the smell. Will be trying her on the Bison one once this bag is gone.
Joesf (verified owner) –
I bought this for one of my dogs that for years had spent a lot of time scratching. In the past the vet even gave her a shot which only brings relief for a few months. Once another vet recommended switching foods I have this one a try. The results were amazing. Almost immediately she stopped with the constant scratching and only started again when she steals from her brother’s food bowl. The only negatives are that it seems to lack flavor and my dog is not very interested and only eats when she has no choice. It is also quite expensive.

This was our go to food for over ten years but the last two bags of food are really dry and crumbly. The food itself is a pale brown where as it’s normally dark brown and almost oily. Might try to buy elsewhere next time. Not sure if it’s old bags from petsmart or a manufacturer issue, but at $70 a bag it’s annoying none the less.

I originally bought this brand because my dog has allergies and I was eliminating foods. Unfortunately, it didn’t help with his allergies, but his hair is so soft and beautiful. I am slightly concerned with the price, and am curious as to why it is so expensive. That would be my 5th star, if the price was better.

My dog (basenji) is 13 and has recently had some bladder and kidney issues. His vet indicated he needed to eat a lower protein food. We tried the prescription food from the vet and he refused it. I then did some research and found this food that has nothing in it that can be a problem for my dog. Well, what a find! My dog loves this food, which makes me happy that he is getting great nutrition along with only 20% protein, which at his age is ample. This food is so good that I also use it as a treat for him. He’ll do anything for it, and how now earned his novice trick dog title while getting this food as an encouragement to do some tricks. This is now a staple for him. Thank you Natural Balance and Petsmart!

My vet recommended the venison version for my 8 yr old rescue Weimaraner who had irritable bowel from improper care when we got him. I mix this dog food with BilJac and cooked chicken and 6 years later he continues to thrive as an elder dog! Highly recommend!

The food caused both dogs to have internal bleeding, I am now battling with skin sores that are full of puss. I have been a Natural Balance customer for 11 years and i find i have to return at least 3 to 4 bags of food a year now, so I am finished with the brand. petsupplycanada has been awesome with exchanging or refunding everytime.

I have been feeding this food to my Rescued
Belgian Malinois for many years . Great product with limited ingredients. I really appreciate that it is venison based . The kibble size is perfect. I have never had a issue with it .

I tried literally 7 different dog food brands and types and nothing worked besides this dog food. My pup went from pooping semi-formed liquid poo (or worse!) to totally solid, nice turds after switching to this food. The backyard has never been easier to keep clean!

My dog (basenji) is 13 and has recently had some bladder and kidney issues. His vet indicated he needed to eat a lower protein food. We tried the prescription food from the vet and he refused it. I then did some research and found this food that has nothing in it that can be a problem for my dog. Well, what a find! My dog loves this food, which makes me happy that he is getting great nutrition along with only 20% protein, which at his age is ample. This food is so good that I also use it as a treat for him. He’ll do anything for it, and how now earned his novice trick dog title while getting this food as an encouragement to do some tricks. This is now a staple for him. Thank you Natural Balance and petsupplycanada!

Unfortunately my 2 dogs did not like it at all would not even eat 1 piece. And one pup eats anything. I am hoping they will let me return it

Our 2 year old Mountain Cur has some serious food sensitivities. This brand with limited ingredients has been great for her. It’s an excellent source of protein and a good balance of nutrition that she needs. I gave it one less than perfect star because the smell of the Venison & Sweet Potato one is not good. Also she wreaks of the same smell after eating it as well as her feces has the same horrid smell. It smells like cat urine to me. We don’t have cats. I read up on Venison and what I came up with is that is just the smell of the meat. We do not like the smell. Will be trying her on the Bison one once this bag is gone.

My dog didn’t really like the food but it did firm up her poop! So I will try another flavor.

There aren’t many products that don’t have any type of chicken in its ingredients. This is one and this is one that my dog actually likes to eat and it doesn’t cause her allergy breakouts because it doesn’t have any type of chicken in it.
dhcteacher (verified owner) –
Both my dogs are allergic to chicken so I’m very careful about dog food ingredients. My dogs love this brand & flavor. It’s good quality food compared to other dry food I’ve bought.

Tucker is a finecky eater but not with Natural Balance! This mini- schnauzer can’t eat this food fast enough at meal times now. The kibble size is just right for him too.

My dog loves it! We like the variety of flavors and that it’s grain free.
Buddy2 (verified owner) –
This has been brand of choice for years. No chicken or chicken byproducts.
MistyMooch (verified owner) –
My dog was recommended this food by a veterinary dermatologist. It has worked wonders for my dogs skin. Her coat is full and glossy. The one down side is as a grain free diet, it lacks taurine. My dog started to develop Dilated Cardiomyopathy. We added a taurine supplement as recommended by her cardiologist. Now she is doing great!

I am a proud bulldog mom! That being said, they are very high maintenance! This is the only food that I have found that keeps her digestive issues under control! We were very happy to retire the baby wipes and will never buy her another food! Thankfully she seems to enjoy it

My dogs have allergies for most dog foods that make their eyes weep blank gunk. This LID does not. Their eyes aren’t itchy and weepy.

I have two dogs and one of them has severe allergies-she can’t have chicken, beef, or lamb. Natural Balance limited ingredient food has been a great choice for both my dogs. I add a few tablespoons of the canned food to their dry food, and they both love it.
Anml_Nrs (verified owner) –
My dog loves the Venison and Sweet Potato. I just wish it was not grain free. I’m having to make rice to add to it so there’s some grain. GF diets were all the rage, as corn is a cheap protein that is used in most cheaper dog food, and some dogs are allergic to it. But GF diets also can be attributed to cardiac issues later in life.
Lin25 (verified owner) –
No unnecessary ingredients. Dog never has upsets or diarrea. I buy this and their Salmon/sweet potato LID.

This is the food I feed my dog. He has a sensitive stomach and this works well for him . He is 6 years older and does very well with this formula.
Pitterpat29 (verified owner) –
I originally bought this brand because my dog has allergies and I was eliminating foods. Unfortunately, it didn’t help with his allergies, but his hair is so soft and beautiful. I am slightly concerned with the price, and am curious as to why it is so expensive. That would be my 5th star, if the price was better.
RebsH (verified owner) –
This was our go to food for over ten years but the last two bags of food are really dry and crumbly. The food itself is a pale brown where as it’s normally dark brown and almost oily. Might try to buy elsewhere next time. Not sure if it’s old bags from petsupplycanada or a manufacturer issue, but at $70 a bag it’s annoying none the less.
