Natural Balance Dry Dog Food Limited Ingredient Diet for Large Breeds, Lamb Meal and Rice, 28 Pound Bag

Life changing dog food! We have a 13 year old Black Lab with very sensitive skin and allergies. We've changed her food soo many times and nothing got rid of her skin problems. The doctor told us she had a poultry allergy and we told them we changed to a poultry free product years ago. Or at least we THOUGHT we did. It turns out the label on the other food was very misleading. The front cover said no chicken by product meal on the front in big letters so we thought it was safe. It actually had poultry fat listed as one of the ingredients on the back. The doc pointed it out to us and suggested we try Natural Balance. I drove to the Pet Supermarket immediately and picked up a bag and have been ordering it from here on subscribe and save ever since. Her skin looks soo much better and her ear infections are gone. No more head shaking due to food allergy induced ear infections. She's one happy dog now and we couldn't be happier to have our dog back to herself. She LOVES eating this food too. The first time we gave it to her she scarfed it all down and looked up at us like she wanted more. It's definitely pet approved! BONUS: 3 weeks after we got this food we added a new puppy to our family. She is another black lab mix. This food is the only food we will ever feed her. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that this food is good for puppies all the way up to adults and the quality is absolutely amazing. I only have to buy one kind of food instead of two because both of our dogs eat it... the geriatric dog and our puppy. The puppy has been eating this food since we got her and her hair so soooo shiny. We get lots of compliments on her hair and always tell everyone what food we feed her. I recommend this food to ALL dog owners, especially to those with food allergies and skin problems. It's also the ONLY food you will ever need to buy for the life of your pet.

This stuff is THE food for our Great Dane. It contains the right amount of protein/fat ratio's needed for our fast-growing beast dog. Very healthy & high quality. It's expensive, but definitely worth the investment. We were originally using a different flavor & I wanted to switch to a more bland one or grain-free food & I found this one. Also, the kibbles are double the size of the normal kibbles which really slows down our dogs eating habits! Anyone with a Dane or dog the wolfs down his food & can get bloat... or just get sick... will love the benefit of the larger kibble! We had mixed the other Natural Balance flavor (Venison & Lamb) with Purina Dog Chow, about half & half lately (he's been eating & growing like a weed!)- what a terrible decision! Our Dane has the smelliest gas & behind- YUCK! After mixing in this food & making the "switch" between flavors, the Natural Balance is about 80% to the Purina Dog Chow now again... and WOW major difference. I had no idea that lower quality dog food could impact our dog so dramatically. Lord, we could smell him laying across the room. We will keep the 80%-20% ratio for good & never stray from Natural Balance. Anyway, AMAZING five star product. Who wouldn't wish it was cheaper, but I will NEVER sacrifice money-saving when it comes to our Dane now!

Our black lab Sirius gets intestinal distress (I'll leave that to your imagination) with any poultry products added to his food. We were feeding him Nutro Ultra for a while, but then they started adding chicken meal to it and it didn't sit well with our pup. He didn't do well on Iams or Purina dog food when we first adopted him, so we decided to find a truly limited ingredient dog food. I initially found this at Petsmart for about twenty bucks more per bag, but it was still cheaper than some of the other brands, like Wellness. I love our dog, but we are still on a budget, so we've stuck with this food for the past 8 months or so. He's 70 lbs and only gets 1-1.5 cups a day, so the bag lasts us a good 5-6 weeks. This food is great quality, it tastes good (according to our dog!), and it doesn't break the bank. It's a winner!

Great dog food for my Aussie Shepherd Mix! My dog doesn't have any known food allergies, but this dog food keeps him lean and healthy. He hasn't had any tummy issues with it all and has not grown tired of it (then again, my dog will eat pretty much anything). Natural Balance is a fantastic brand for owners who want to give their dog high quality food with the majority of it being made up of what type of food it's indicated to be (i.e. lamb and rice). The first three or so ingredients usually comprise the larger percentage of the food. Sometimes I mix this dry food with Natural Balance's Ultra Premium Beef Canned Dog Formula as a treat for my dog, which he goes mad for. I highly recommend this brand and flavor of dog food!

My Golden is allergic to so many foods for dogs - from peas, to fish, to potatoes - and most of the brands use these ingredients as fillers and binders. It's not a grocery store brand, and I'm trying to use an affordable, quality food to keep her healthy. One well known "dog food brand" reviewing company gives it 3 stars out of 5 possible - for this formulation only (other formulations are 4 stars) because it could use additional protein. So I supplement the food with boiled chicken to increase her protein intake. I'll rate it 4 stars because I appreciate Natural Balance for being aware of customer needs and producing a limited ingredient formula that meets my pup's allergy requirements. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I have to add protein for it to be truly balanced, according to a reputable source.

My golden retriever has significant food allergies. After trying many different foods and proteins, I decided to try Natural Balance Lamb and brown rice formula. I noticed the difference within days! My dog's stomach issues and allergies disappeared! Her coat was much softer and she was noticeably happier. NOTE: if your dog has allergies to the more popular dog food proteins this product is worth a try, but of course every dog is different. You may have to try many different foods before you find the right fit.

My dogs love this food

Packaging was an enormous waste of resources - oversized box stuffed with kraft paper enough to fill a recycling bag. The dog food was as expected.

Dogs seem to like it and I don't have to lug it home from the store. I agree the product came overpackaged.

Dogs love it! No problem changing over from their old food. They are anxiously waiting for the next feeding time.
