We really like this dog food and so does our Bichon Frise. We trust the ingredients. And we appreciate being able to buy it in the small bites for small dogs. We feel that is much better for our small dog.

My 2 dogs have been eating this exclusively for a few years and they love it. When the vet asked what they were eating, she reviewed the ingredients and gave her full approval to continue with this food for healthy weight and nutrition.

One of my dogs likes this. She nibbles on it throughout the day and seems to do well on it. She also eats limited ingredient wet food from another brand daily.

This product is the only food my little Yorkiepoo’s system can digest. He has been very intolerant of other food but duck and potato is perfect. They also make treats, so I can take some with me to the vet, groomer and other stressful places to reward good behavior.

Bought for my Boston Terrier. Iggy has a sensitive stomach. She has been doing great on this dog food. Its limited ingredient and It seems to be the only food with no peas or legumes which enlarge dogs hearts.

My little dog Timmy loves this stuff! While it is on the pricier side, it is difficult to find good dog food without chicken(he’s allergic) he eats this stuff and every-time he licks the bowl!

My Yorkie Poo is 12 years old and has digestive issues. Natural Balance Duck and Potato is the only food that agrees with him. If he eats anything else it is ugly.
No more moths please (verified owner) –
I have returned at least six bags due to moths or moth strings in this food. Quality is low!!! Not only do I waste time returning food, but sometimes the store can’t replace the item because all the dog food bags on their shelves also have moths. Returned to 3 different stores, so it’s the brand and manufacturer. Do not buy.

It showed up on time but the product was old and had gross spider web looking particles and white larva crawling in the food. I took the product back to our local store and it was replaced without hesitation. That was very nice of the staff at the Brenham TX location.

My 12 year old French Bulldog loves his natural balance kibble and he loves the small breed size of it. Been feeding it to him all his life

Dog loves it! But Pet Smart online shows ONLY LIMITED INGREDIENT and I ordered it using the BUY& Pick curb services. When I opened the bag I noticed in FINE PRINT GRAIN FREE which I actually did not want due to it can cause HEART ISSUES! I figured my pup can eat one bag without effecting her heart! I will not buy this GRAIN FREE Product and petsupplycanada needs to List this product as Grain Free not just limited!

I bought this for my dog since this is the only thing she will eat.

My 6lb Yorkie like the 1st Bag but she is now on the 2nd bag and hates it! WAY too expensive for a 4lb bag at $28! Price went up for a little 4 lb bag!
18erika (verified owner) –
My dog absolutely loves the Duck and Potato food! She eats everything single piece and licks the bowl clean.

Great product recommended by my animal rescue group. Natural Balance has a quiz on what type of dog you have and it works! It’s been two years and my guy is healthy & happy.
