REASONS YOU SHOULD BE FEEDING YOUR DOG NATURAL BALANCE®:

Fresh Chicken, New Zealand Lamb Meal, Duck Meal Premium quality meats (no by-products) and New Zealand Lamb Meal are combined to provide the most natural balance of proteins for your dog.

Brown Rice A superior rice grain with the nutrient-rich bran portion intact. This bran layer holds nutrients of vital importance, such as fiber and essential oils.

Fresh Carrots An excellent source of vitamin A and beta carotene.

Oatmeal An exceptional source of: carbohydrates, fiber, thiamin and vitamin E. Not widely used in pet food because of cost, it does not contain the allergy causing glutens found in other grains.

Fresh Potatoes Rich in potassium and an excellent source of highly digestible carbohydrates for energy.

Taurine Fortified New studies show that dogs need Taurine for cardiovascular health. Read more on this.

Skin and Coat Linoleic Acid, Whole Ground Flaxseed, Vitamin E, Biotin and Kelp are used in the correct ratios required to produce an excellent skin and coat condition for your dog.

No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors, Colors, or Bleached Ingredients.

We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. 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!

The Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Dry Formula, 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 adjustable 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.

FEEDING MANAGEMENT

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® Ultra Premium dog food. The change should be completed after 3 to 5 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!
