DICK VAN PATTEN'S NATURAL BALANCE® PET FOODS AT WORK. "Little" Mushroom is a Mastiff who was adopted by a Natural Balance® associate when she was ten weeks old. She was given a full check-up and began getting a balanced diet with Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Dog Food.

She was fed only Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Dry Dog Food. With all the proper vitamins and minerals included in our Ultra Premium Formula, there was no need for any other supplements to help Mushroom grow.
