I have purchased this dog food for my bulldog for over 5 years now, my most recent bag was completely different than any time before. I have noticed a change in the look of the food pellets before but this time the pellets were very light in color, and the pellets are covered in what looks to be ground up food! My dog doesn’t enjoy it now and it’s very messy and greasy.

Do you know how hard it is to find a dry dog food that does not have peas or pea protein as an ingredient? It is hard to find. No peas or pea protein in this food. My Cosmo happens to be allergic to peas.

This is the third large bag of Natural Balance dry food I’ve gotten for our very active 6 year old lab who developed a wheat allergy and other sensitives resulting in diarrhea. Her veterinarian suggested this brand, and it clear up a messy situation immediately. Of course we stopped all treats with wheat. Happy dog, happy life! And she loves the Duck & Potato formula.
Gidgit (verified owner) –
My dog can only eat this specific formula. At least they carry the food. However I wish Natural Balance still made the smaller cans of wet food. The bigger can is wasteful for my smaller dogs

This is the dog food our baby was it on. She loves it. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.

My dog started to loose hair, it was itching a lot and until blood started coming out. Do not buy this food
Casper80 (verified owner) –
Thanks to the limited ingredient formula, this has been a lifesaver for Casper, our 80 ld White German Shepherd. Before the sales representative at the petsupplycanada store recommended we give it a try, the poor guy wasn’t able to keep anything down.

When my dog was a puppy, she’d constantly have itchy skin problems (golden retriever) and was a picky eater. We tried all sorts of brands and foods and found this one she liked the best, and she no longer has skin issues. She’s 4 now and seems like of bored of this flavour, but I’m afraid to try something different and risk her having issues. I’ve been adding little pieces of boiled organ meats (mainly liver) and sweet potatoes to her food for flavour and she loves it!

We’ve been using the LID GF Duck & Potato dog food, for over a year now and it’s really helped my Pitbull Mix with her scratching.
Cber (verified owner) –
Our two golden retrievers dog love eating this brand of dog food.
possumdad (verified owner) –
Our Silver Lab has skin allergies and has a restricted diet. We are fortunate Nature Balance LID fits her nutritional and dietary needs. We are also lucky because she LOVES the taste of both the duck/potato and the venison/sweet potato flavors.
DJ7244 (verified owner) –
I buy this dog Natural Balance every month. It’s the only dog food that my German Shepherd can eat. Others cause skin problems. He love this stuff but the price is way to high. One dog is over 120.00 a month. Two 24 bound bags.
Mrminsky (verified owner) –
The last two bags (Lighter colored kibble) have been an issue with my dog (Soft stools). petsupplycanada has been great in exchanging the bags. The dark-colored kibble has worked wonders. But due to the inconsistencies, I am now trying the Merrick Limited Ingredient food.
jjd0523 (verified owner) –
We’ve now used this on four different fosters that have come into our home for short/long stays. In all cases, it has helped stop an allergic type reaction and stopped the incessant licking that turns a coppery color on white bichon frise’s We have used the kibble and the can and mix it 50-50. Usually see results in about 2-3 weeks.

The Vet actually recommended Duck for our mixed pit bull. Both dogs love the food, and look at the can version as whipped cream on their entree. They both had their yearly checkups and they maintained their weight, and digestion is not an issue.
JamieLeeH (verified owner) –
My dogs absolutely love this food! One has horrible allergies! She was eating another salmon brand but I had to mix with soft for her to eat it! This extra small bite duck is the ticket! They love it and want more!

The only thing about this produce, I wish it came in bigger bags
Gidg (verified owner) –
1 of our dogs is on this specific formula. Since being on it her stomach has been better. Only problem with this product is there are not a lot of treat options with this formula.
Molly B 1 (verified owner) –
After my dog went two days without eating even her previous food that was mixed with this, I’ve decided I will donate it and put her back on her previous food which she eats with no problem.

Background: I had to change my cats to a novel protein and chose Natural Balance for the limited ingredients; I chose duck for the cats and had to change my dogs from chicken to duck as well, just in case the cats ate some.
The dogs LOVE this food. I started with the Duck and Brown Rice, but the store was out, so I got Duck and Potato this time. They scarf it down. And a bonus–their excrement is solid, which it was not with the rice formula.

Food is good, my dog seems to like it. It’s just gone up in price a lot in the last few months.

petsupplycanada is only selling the 12 lb bag as their largest size but at a very expensive price . They no longer seem to offer the 24 lb bag. The product is good but the petsupplycanada pricing is too expensive.

I found this 4lb bag at PETCLUB for $19.99. vs petsupplycanada’s $27.99 – YES – $8 savings!
Max and Miley Mom (verified owner) –
As soon as we switched to this food the change in my dog’s coats was noticeable- softer, less shedding (I have a Rottweiler and a husky mix). Dogs both love the food. Love that petsupplycanada delivers. So glad I switched.

We’ve been using this food for months since discovering that it worked for our dog. He has allergies that lots of other foods irritated. We’re happy to have found something that works for him that he loves eating.

We have4 dogs different breeds, after years of feeding them cooked food and a different brand of kibble one of my pups started to have problems I did a allergy test and she wasn’t able to have any poultry I needed to find a kind of food they would all eat. This fits the diet my vet ordered and all my dogs like it! I still cook for their main meal but they have the kibble for day snacking
18erika (verified owner) –
My dog loves this food. The Vet wanted her off all chicken products so I got the duck and potatoes and she eats all of it each time.
MJolly (verified owner) –
Both of my dogs are on a special diet for their allergies. Duck & Potato are one of the few foods they can have. If not for natural balance, I would have to get my food from the vetenarian.
MAC4Freedom (verified owner) –
This food has a fishy smell, which could be a duck thing, but it’s unpleasant to serve. Also, my dog with food allergies seems to react to it. Not sure what ingredient is the offender, but it would be nice to see all ingredients listed on the site so we don’t get surprises when the dog eats the food.
SmashMantis (verified owner) –
My lab/pit mix has a chicken allergy and needed something that was high in protein and had low/no grains. So much success with this food!!!
Imat (verified owner) –
I bought this for my dog who has multiple allergies. Works well and he likes it. However NB has a similar limited diet food in the same color package , also duck and potato and the kibble looks identical in shape and color. I accidentally bought it and one meal later had $750 dollars later in vet bills, I was not so happy. Make sure to buy the Reserve limited diet and not the regular limited diet…check carefully. That one has cassava in it which is related to soy and legumes. Hey, NB, make the package a different color!

Wasn’t the biggest bag 24 lbs? Now it says 22 lbs. And the price has gone up so much! Unfortunately, we have to buy it for our Golden boy who has so many food allergies and it does seem to help.

Bowser junior (verified owner) –
Each time I go to purchase this food for my dog the price increases and usually there at NO specials I am aware of that would reduce the cost at checkout besides my reward points I use for products I already purchased. It is similar to Menards 11% rebate that can only be reused at Menards……here is an idea, how about a sale every now and then on Natural Balance dog food??????
Skull14 (verified owner) –
This food has been good to my puppy who may be dealing with good allergies. Biggest concern is the price. It’s so expensive and you don’t get no more then 22lbs for $80. It’s too expensive My dog is over 60 Pounds and our other dog is 30lbs whom is eating the food too so we are not dealing with buying 2 kinds of dog food. Like your product but may have to choose something else because of how expensive it is.

I have finally found a good my dog can tolerate with all her allergies.
