I would like to let you know we have tried so many different brands as our dog seemed to be allergic to most dog foods out there. We shop at a feed store called come see come save and my husband noticed your brand and thought he would like to try it. We noticed it was Dick Van Pattens and we were excited to see if Ginger would like it. She loves her food now and seems to not have a reaction. Thank you for making such quality food which counts the most to us. We love your product and thought we should share with you. The type of food we bought was the Natural Balance® Sweet Potato & Venison Formula.Thanks again, Camille
DEAR Mr.Van Patten, I currently work for a pet store in Ontario, Canada. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the quality of your food. On more than one occasion I have switched a customer over to one of your brands. These dogs or cats have had allergy problems or skin issues. It is amazing how many owners come back to tell me how much better their dog(s) are doing! It's wonderful to know that there are still people out there who care unconditionally for the little guy. Sincerely Melissa Beckett - p.s. I use to love watching "Eight is Enough"
Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with Natural Balance® Potato and Duck Formula. My Old English Sheepdog had such digestive problems. He was constantly having bowel problems. My vet recommended I switch foods until I could find one that suited Winston. Someone at my place of work told me about your product. Winston has been on the dry Duck & Potato diet and canned foods, as well. He has not been sick since the start of his new diet. I have now switched my Yellow Lab over and he seems to have more energy and his digestive systems seems to more balanced. I just wanted to thank you for helping me keep my dogs healthy and active. Your product is great!!! Tina Milkovits - Bath, PA
I rescued a Boston Terrier/Bulldog mix. He suffered from chronic nausea and required a high daily dose of Reglan and Non-Allergy Science Diet, still throwing up at least once a day. I thought he might not be digesting all the dry food in his stomach so I switched him to a mostly wet foot diet with great results. Being vegan myself, I decided to try Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula for my other dog, a pit bull mix. He liked it and of course my Boston mix got into it. I was afraid the nausea would return but it did not. In fact, the chronic nausea has been completely reversed and he no longer requires Reglan or wet food. He can eat as much of the Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula as he wants with no stomach trouble at all. Now we BOTH feel better. Thank you for such a superior product. C. Schilloff
I wanted to let you know that your Natural Balance® Sweet Potato& Venison Formula dog food literally saved my dog's life. We have a 2 yr old Golden Retriever that has been sick since the day we purchased her. Having gone through many tests and exploratory surgeries, it was determined that she was suffering from severe food allergies. After trying many allergy free foods with no success, we were told to try one last food "YOURS". Without much confidence, we did and it worked!!! Our baby, is growing and finally gaining weight. No more vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. She is finally getting her beautiful golden coat. We cannot "Thank You" enough for making the food that saved her life. At present, she eats the canned with a supplement of the dry. We have since told everyone who knows about our struggle for nearly two years and hope that they to will see the difference that your food has made in Sadie's life. We have since switched our kitty over because we believe that she to will benefit. Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. We now are able to look forward to many years with our girl... Penny Therien
I just have to say that I'm thrilled to have found Natural Balance brand foods. I have 4 cats who eat the Natural Balance® Reduced Calorie Cat Formula and get all flavors of the 3oz. cans as treats. They all have beautiful coats and are all at a perfect weight. When we adopted our first dog, I immediately knew to start her on Natural Balance. We adopted a recing greyhound who had been on the track for a long time. When we got her, she was shedding, flakey, and smelled. 7 months later, her coat is soft and shiny, she very rarely sheds, and her flakes are getting to be less and less. We soon adopted another greyhound and they both now go crazy for a mixture of Ultra Premium, Sweet Potato and Fish, and the Organic formulas. Their favorite treats are the Bison, Pearled Barley, and Blueberry biscuits and they've recently been introduced to the wonderful food rolls. We're big fans of Natural Balance and I just wanted to say thank you for such great products. - Lindsey Macomber
Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the Natural Balance® Green Pea and Duck Formula for cats! My two male cats (ages 3 and 16) had both been having chronic stomach problems, and we'd switched them from food to food -- Science Diet, Royal Canin, etc. Both were regurgitating partially undigested food. The sixteen-year-old was starting to vomit every other day and losing weight. So we switched them to Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck formula dry food. They're both happy with it, and it appears to have ended their stomach issues. Thank you for making our home vomit-free! And I would swear their coats are getting shinier by the day! My only suggestion is that it might be useful to print hypo-allergenic or allergen-free in large print on the bag. At first, I was unsure what "limited ingredients diet" meant. I'll be sure to tell my sister about it - she's a veterinarian and typically recommends Science Diet prescription formulas. It now appears that my cats are both allergic to all those nasty "filler" ingredients that even the pricier brands contain. - Jackie, Los Angeles, CA
We have 3 cats ages 15, 15, and 19. After switching to the Natural Balance Ultra Premium Cat Food. The oldest is gaining weight, which she desperately needed to do and the other 2 are losing weight. All three cats are more active and their coats have improved.They look and act healthier. Even their litter habits have improved. You have 5 very satisfied customers, me, my wife and 3 much happier cats. - Joe Zinich
I just thought that i would write and tell you guys that I love your dog food. It has done wonders for my dog that has had ear infections all her life from allergies. Ever since I changed her dog for to NB, No more ear infections, also she is back to her normal playing self. Your dog food has made a major change in all our lives at my home. I just want to say thank you so much. Sarah
I want to say thank you for having such a great safe product. I wish I would have known about Natural Balance years ago. It has helped our 3 dogs more than any other product. Especially our American Bulldog Lucy who until we found Natural Balance could not eat any food except an expensive prescription food. I cannot express how grateful we are to you. Not only that it helps all our dogs but that we no longer have to worry if it's safe or not. THANK YOU. I also currently work part time evenings at a Petco. Anytime someone comes into our store and asks me about food I always head right to Natural Balance. If I see someone looking at another brand I always suggest Natural Balance and then I explain why. Thank You for your products and time. Moose, Toady, Lucy and Jayne and Paul Short
My otherwise healthy Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix started itching like mad last summer and developed a number of hot spots, especially on his neck, legs and ears. The vet diagnosed an allergy, prescribed steroids and anti-inflammatories, and predicted that whatever was "bugging" my dog would go away with the freeze of winter. We are now well into winter and problems with his ears and itching have persisted, leading me to consider that my dog might have a food allergy. We have always just given him commercial store brands of food and he has mostly eaten them, sometimes with gusto and other times, not. Many times when he has been in a finicky stage, I've had to jazz things up with table scraps, gravies, etc. Finally, I decided to make the plunge and buy a better dog food to see if this would help his allergies and appetite. After doing a little research, I decided to try Natural Balance food which is available at the Petco right down the street. Can I just tell you that in this short time), my dog has gone from being a touchy eater to actually licking the bowl so clean you can't even tell he was just fed! I am simply amazed! It is fun to feed my dog again. Now I can't wait to see how a continued diet affects his itchy condition. I'm hoping it will make all the difference and will keep you up to date on the results. Jill R. Powers
Your Natural Balance® Potato and Duck Formula is like a miracle drug. I have 4 dogs, 3 are rescue dogs. One has severe skin allergies. She was suffering to the point that she would make herself bleed. After 2 weeks the change has been out of this world. I wish her vet had recommended this years ago. She is no longer a sad looking dog, she no longer bleeds and we can now enjoy her for who she is. How do I thank you? Ivonne and Penny Dangelo
We have two dogs, an English Labrador and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, both of which are our babies. Our English Lab suffers from severe intestinal allergies to Lamb and our Cavalier is just flat out a finicky eater. Both of our animals suffer from hypo-thyroidism. For the last year we have been switching foods, going from one brand to another trying to find a food that our Lab, Morgan, is not allergic to, and that our Cavalier, Dobby will also eat... what a challenge this has really turned out to be. Not only does Morgan suffer from allergies to Lamb, but if he isn't on a quality food, his coat doesn't shine, and he develops dandruff. And our Cavalier, as a side-effect of his thyroid disorder has severe seborrhea (extreme dandruff). Enter Natural Balance® Potato and Duck Formula. Our veterinarian initially put us on a prescription diet of Hills science diet ZD ultra, where our Lab turned completely around. After we got him turned around, we have kept him on Natural Balance Potato & Duck... what an extreme difference!!!! Both the Lab and the Cavalier have beautiful healthy, shiny, glossy coats, the dandruff is almost non-existent now.... and the best part.... the Cavalier who used to be a VERY finicky eater GOBBLES up the Natural Balance Potato & Duck Formula. I just wanted to take a moment to tell you our story and let you know that your product has really made a difference in our animals... Thank you very much! The Thomas Family!
My cat was diagnosed with allergic bronchitis and the vet suggested I feed her grain-free dry food. I tried a number of brands which were met with indifference. That changed when I brought home Natural Balance® Green Pea and Duck Formula, which was the recommendation of the manager at my local Petco. I didn't have to introduce it gradually; Glory went right to the bowl and that has been her food of choice ever since. Even my other cat Easter Egg, who doesn't particularly care for dry food, has no problem eating the grain-free Natural Balance. I thought you'd like to hear from more two- and four-legged satisfied customers. Regards, Alison Jacobs
We switched our dog, Bridget to your Natural Balance Dog Food after she had been on Purina One for many years. At age 15 she developed a huge mammary tumor and after many trips to the veterinarian, we had to make the decision to leave it. We had a fine needle aspirit done and after 2 weeks they let us know that it was indeed a mammary tumor. But because it had gotten bigger and because she was the age of 15, they decided they couldn't remove it. We were very discouraged, but we decided to do what we could to make Bridget comfortable. So we switched her dog food to Natural Balance and pretty much immediately, we found that the tumor had shrank in size. It wasn't as big as it had been, plus she had more energy and was doing much better. So we kept her on your product. We do give Bridget and Honey, our 18 month-old poodle, your Natural Balance® Dog Food Rolls, Healthy Bones treats and the dog food. They especially like the snacks and about run my husband down when he comes home at night from work. I appreciate that Mr. Van Patten has formulated such a exceptional good dog food that we don't have to worry about what is in it and that it is actually good for our animals. Thanks again, Kathy A. Freeman
RockyI would like to say that I have had my dog Rocky a Yorkshire Terrier for going on 2 years now, and I have tried so many different high quality brands of food but none compares to your food. I started him off on the Potato and Duck formula and he liked it but I noticed that he would not eat it as often not that it was bad in any way. So I moved him to the Reduced Calorie formula and he loved it as well, but I then noticed you carried an Organic formula and Rocky is my baby so I want nothing but the best for him. So I continued to feed him the Natural Balance® Organic Formula and he is a very happy camper. I also feed him the wet food from time to time to give him a variety he loves the Chicken and the Beef Canned Formula of the wet food. So overall I would just like to say that I am so happy that your products are in the market because I would never feed my Rocky nothing that was not good for him. Your products are great they look good and smell good and he also loves your Roll Around Treats, overall your products are great and I will definitely recommend them to all my friends that are pet owners. Thank you, Elisandra Castro
OzzieWe adopted a 4 month old puppy that was severely underweight. He would not eat the food that we were given by his breeder even when I tried to feed him 1 piece of kibble at a time by hand. Our vet suggested putting chicken broth over it. The puppy caught on quickly and ate the chicken broth and left the kibble. On Christmas Day we were visiting friends and talking about our puppy and his eating problem. A friend with dogs that are picky eaters suggested your dog food. We picked up some the next day and ... our puppy ate the entire bowl!!! In 10 days our emaciated puppy went from 3.8 pounds to 6 pounds :o) . Thank you so much for creating a dog food that our puppy gobbles up. Here's a picture of Ozzie ... if you look closely you'll see his smile. Thanks to your food he is now not only an adorable puppy he is a HEALTHY puppy too. Cheri Komaiko - Frisco, TX
TopperI changed over to your dry food about 30 days ago. I have been feeding my dogs Nutro Natural Choice and then Ultra when they came out with that. They have been on Nutro for 8 years. They had nice coats, but for the last year I have been having to add more and more things to get them to eat it. I use to buy your Natural Balance® Dog Food Rolls for my dogs that were in the show ring at the time so they would eat and maintain a good weight level, as everyone loves the meat roll. So I decided to go with your Natural Balance Ultra Premium Dog Food and quit with the Nutro and guessing of what I need to add in so they will eat it .I must say in the last 30 days since my dogs have been eating your food exclusively the coat has come back so shiny and silky and my 10 year old lab has all of her energy back again. All of the cavaliers are eating just the dry and polishing off the bowl. I can't thank you enough. I was so tired of trying to guess what I could mix into there old food so they would want to eat it and still they would pick out the goodies and leave the dog food. Sparkland Cavaliers will be feeding Natural Balance only and recommending you to our loyal puppy buyers and show friends. Thank You, Thank You ,Thank You!!!!!!! Tiffany Neely - Sparkland Cavaliers
My two dogs have many, many food allergies and I have searched for a food through trial and error and ingredient comparison. I have finally found your Natural Balance® Potato and Duck Formula foods for which I would like to thank you. I hope you are not planning on followng suit of other companies and making the product "better" by changing ingredients because that has been the problem I have had with other foods. The simplest change to add Rosemary have sent my dogs into bouts of illness. Your food is the ONLY one I am able to feed to my dogs without seeing their allergies flare up. They haven't been so "white" and free of pink spots in a very long time. So once again I thank you! And hope to purchase you product for years to come. Sincerely, Lesley Z. - Spruce Grove AB
I just wanted to tell you how much my 3 dogs and 1 cat love your food. We have 2 Bichon Frises and my 2yr old male was constantly itching. We tried everything and then switched to your food. Within 2 weeks his itching is down to what would be considered normal. My cat that is 15 loves both the dry and canned food and is much healther and is much happier. And last but not least my 13 yr old Poodle Maltese mix is doing great. And by Bichon puppy is the healthiest puppy my Vet has seen in a long time. Keep up the great products. I will never feed my pets anything else. Thank you so much for creating pet food that is safe, healthy and tastes good. Robin Barauskas, FL
