The first L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® for Large Breeds!

Specially designed kibble to help promote clean teeth and healthy gums for large breed dogs.

This formula has been made specifically for large breed dogs and puppies prone to allergies based on our unique blend of a one premium protein and one highly digestible carbohydrate.

What are L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets®?
Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® are diets designed for dogs with sensitivities to common pet food ingredients. Limiting the number of ingredients offers a unique alternative for pets with special dietary needs. Scientifically formulated to provide high quality nutrition and help maintain your dog’s skin and coat, L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® are complete and balanced for all breeds and life stages.

Digestion Starts in the Mouth for Your Large Breed
Because digestion begins in the mouth, larger kibble encourages dogs to eat slower and promote proper chewing. Plus, slowing down will allow your dog to enjoy, appreciate and savor the taste of every bite.

Dental Health for Your Large Breed
The size, shape and texture of our kibble is specially designed to help promote clean teeth and healthy gums for large breed dogs with bigger teeth.

The Food For A Lifetime™
Natural Balance has taken the same great formula that has proven successful for puppies through adults, and tailored it to the needs of your large breed dog. Your dog will benefit from eating the same food during all stages of life, and you'll enjoy the convenience of feeding Natural Balance according to your dog's life stage - puppy, adult or senior.

Quality Ingredients
We carefully select ingredients of the highest quality. Wholesome formulas, including lamb, provide the nutrition your large breed dog needs to lead a healthy, naturally balanced lifestyle. No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors or Colors.

Puppies Large Breed puppies can begin nibbling on moistened Natural Balance® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Large Breed Bites™ Dry Dog Food before they are weaned. Feed up to 2 times per pound of body weight over adult levels. From six weeks to six months, feed three times a day. After six months, it is recommended to feed twice daily. 

The Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Formula Large Breed Bites™, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended in the Table. Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions, temperature and activity of your dog. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your dog’s needs.

Pregnant Females (See Our Feeding Page for More Details!)
Minimal increase needed during first 6 weeks. 
Weeks 7, 8, & 9 increase up to 25%.

Lactating Females (See Our Feeding Page for More Details!)
Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal meals per day.

Working Dogs Based on the work your dog will be asked to perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly. As the work load increases, the demand for protein and fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training will generally require twice the maintenance levels.

The Older Dog As your dog begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for less active dog.

We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. When switching your dog's diet, the change should be made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Large Breed Bites™ dog food. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
