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" |

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

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.

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

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. -

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.

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. -

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,

| 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

| 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?

| 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,

| 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

 I
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 |
 We
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

 I
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

| 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 |

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
