I want to thank you for your products! My recently adopted Cocker Spaniel, Rodrigo had many health problems including food allergies. It was hard to find a venison/grain-free food. He loves your Natural Balance® Sweet Potato & Venison Formula dry kibble and treats! I am also glad to hear that you do not do lab testing on animals! Thank you again! Regan, KS

Just wanted to tell you how much better my mixed terrier, Daisy, is doing since going on your Natural Balance® Sweet Potato & Venison Formula about a year ago. She had pancreatitis and itched all the time even with flea medicine regularly. Coat is beautiful, no itching, and her pancreatitis gone. Love your product. Diane, NC

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your Natural Balance® Green Pea and Duck Limited Ingredient Cat food. I adopted a rescue kitten with chronic diarrhea. I tried many different homeopathic treatments as well as the vet recommended prescription foods and medicines (which she hated getting and I hated giving). After 6 months of no improvement my vet gave me a list of tests we could start running on my kitten to try to find the cause of her diarrhea. I'd done a lot of online research and thought she had either IBS or a food intolerance. The allergy testing alone was around $300. I saw your product online while researching natural cat foods. I read the reviews and saw others' success stories and decided to try it. I am so glad I did! My kitten's diarrhea resolved in just a few days - nothing short of a miracle! Zoey and I thank you so much for taking the time to develop this food. We are both very, very satisfied customers. I'm also thankful to the folks who took the time to write a review and shared their stories.THANK YOU! Catherine Scott and Zoey

I just wanted to tell you how much my dog Heidi loves the Natural Balance® Eatables Irish Stew. She is an older dog we adopted from a elderly lady who had to go into a nursing home. She is a very finicky dog and eats like a bird. We finally tried your food and she loves it and cleans the bowl and does not leave a drop. It smells so good my husband took a bite the other night and said it was very good! Tammi, WA

I just want to say that I started feeding Natural Balance Original Ultra® Cat Food to my cat and Natural Balance Original Ultra® Dog Food to my two Boston Terriers just about a month and a half ago. My cat is 7 years old and has not looked this healthy for years. His coat is shiny and sleek and his eyes are so clear and bright. I had been noticing that his coat looked dull and he frequently had "gooey" eyes. I thought he was sick. This food has made such a difference for him! My two boston terriers are eating Natural Balance Ultra for dogs and they have so much energy. Both of the Boston Terriers are five years old. One is from a rescue and she is looking fantastic! She has had some digestive issues and she is doing great with this food! Thanks for making such a great and affordable product for our beloved pets! Lisa, NE

Recently, my Sheltie gave birth to a litter of four girls. She refused to eat for the first few days afterwards, and it was getting to be a major concern for the health and well being of the new pups. I have always used the Natural Balance® Dog Food Rolls for all my training treats and had been giving her snacks of the same rolled food. Then it came to light that I needed to just start feeding her the rolls exclusively for all her dietary needs for her and the new litter of pups. Today when I did the weigh in of the week old pups they are fat and happy. I am so happy with the nutritition that your food has provided and the results, that I thought you should get a big THANK YOU!!! Barb, TX

My dogs are golden retrievers and have had a host of medical problems that has cost me a lot of money over the past 10 years! Someone referred me to your dog food and I began to use it. All issues have stopped! Your dog food has saved their lives! Thank you for taking the interest in the health of all dogs nationwide. Bow-wow to you!! Brenda, IL

Just wanted to let you know that my eight year old, mixed breed sheepdog-lab mix, Patches, was experiencing problems with his skin. He was getting hot spots that were opening up and getting pussy on his legs and elbows as he was getting older, and dragging his bottom on the grass frequently. He also was shedding excessively. I took him to the vet's office a few times and we decided to limit his diet. So I went for a trip to the pet store to look for an allergy-free diet. There were many to choose from, so I really took the time out to read the labels carefully. I ended up purchasing your product because it seemed to have the most simple ingredients and no fillers. The label on the front with the allergy free symbol was a no-brainer. I took Natural Balance® Sweet Potato & Fish home and he loved it! I also purchased the treats for small dogs - allergy free. He has since tried the duck and loved that too! The cans also are a treat for him every now and then. He was overweight and is now on target. His skin has cleared up too. No more sprays and antibiotics! He no longer is dragging his bottom! I told my neighbors about it and they have switched their dog food to Natural Balance also. Previous to this, my husband and I were purchasing pet food from the grocery store. Just wanted to thank you! Joyce, PA

I recommend your high quality pet foods all the time, both in online pet-care forums and to friends. In fact, just this week, a friend is gradually switching to your food, and already she is seeing improvements, because I recommended it to her. Her new kitten was having pretty dramatic digestive upsets, even on the expensive but not so high quality prescription food. I told her that corn and wheat just do not agree with some cats, and pointed out your Natural Balance® Green Pea and Duck Cat Formula as a good alternative to others with those terrible fillers. So she compared your ingredients to the prescription food, and immediately saw the difference. That's just to tell you how much I appreciate your excellent products. My cats appreciate them, too. In fact, my eleven year old male cat is sitting on my desk, purring up a storm as I type. I feed my cats as wide a variety of high quality canned foods as possible. I have noticed that 13 oz cans tend to be more economical than the smaller cans, and was wondering if you would consider bringing out your line of cat foods in that size. Thank you so much for your excellent products, andd your time in reading this email. Andrea, MN

Just wanted to thank you for your products.I have discovered as we grow older, our bodies have a harder time digesting food.So we changed our diets and feel better. This has happened to our dogs. I had noticed it was getting harder for them to digest their food. I went to Petco and found the Natural Balance® Reduced Calorie Formula for our french bulldogs, age 10 1/2, and Sweet Potato & Fish for our german shepherd,age 13. Folks are shocked when we tell them how old there are. Your products are the best natural meds for Them. Bless you for keeping our family healthy! Carol Lynn, CA

Just want to let you know that we have started feeding both the dog and cats your food and they love it !! The cats used to eat Purina Indoor and throw up ALOT and now not at all !!! Thank you so much for a wonderful food!!!!! You have a very happy customer!!! Michelle, MO

I was writing to share a very good example of how amazing your food is. My brother in law and his girlfriend just had a baby and they are struggling like any young parent would. Unfortunately their 1-year-old Pit Bull suffered and they couldnt afford to feed him good food. He was very allergic to his food and had rubbed himself raw on his belly, his eyes were swollen and his ears were red and scabbed as well. I have been feeding my dogs your food for 4 years now and I would never switch. I decided to get him a large bag of the Natural Balance Lamb and Brown Rice Formula. Being a PetCo associate helped because I get the discount. Within 3 weeks of eating NB, Max's skin began to heal and he looks like a brand new dog. I just wanted to thank you for putting out such a great food. I couldn't stand to see him suffer anymore and I'm glad I was able to get him on the right track! George

What an amazing product! Our 2 Silky Terriers, Max (2 year old) and Ralphie (7 month old) both developed allegies as pups. We first thought Max would grow out of it but he got worse every year. Ralphie developed allergies, so we thought it was the breed. The doctor kept prescribing pills and sprays with no real results. An aunt recommended Natural Balance because her dog also suffered from allergies but is doing great now. As skeptical parents we thought we would try a small bag of the duck and sweet potato food because Max has always been picky about his food. They both love the food and treats! It has helped them tremendously. After 2 weeks they both have stopped scratching, biting, digging and sneezing. Their eyes have stopped watering and their coats are shiny and soft. Overall, they are healthier and happier. Thank you for providing a natural food alternative for pets. Our "boys" thank you! If anyone is looking for a natural, healthy food for their pet, please give Natural Balance a chance. Your pet will love it and you won't regret it! Thanks again, Jim, Martha, Max and Ralphie. Clermont, FL.

My cat is about 15 years old and it wasn't until just recently that I learned the scabs on his neck were due to food allergies. I was told to go grain/wheat free and found your cat food/kibble. Since starting Bubba on this new food, he's reverted back to his ol' younger self and is now behaving like he used to. In other words, he's out "socializing" with his neighborhood feline "peeps". He's been housebound for years because he didn't feel good and I thought it was because he was getting old! It's great to see his spunk back! And as for my dogs, having them on the potato and duck has kept them out of the veterinarian's office. So for that I'm VERY grateful! Anyway..."Thank you!"Keila, OR

I just wanted to write and say thank you. Thanks for making such a wonderful product! I love you guys! Really I do. You've made it possibly for me to literally sleep better at night. I have a white English Bulldog, and she's been having allergy problems, I took her to the vet and we were able to narrow down the issue to wheat! Since the discovery of this problem, we've been feeding her your allergy free formula dry dog food and it's made a world of difference. She is no longer itching herself til she bleeds, no longer whining in the middle of the night, which allows me to sleep better and she's no longer covered in hives and bumps from the allergy to wheat. Your dog food has helped her make a complete turn around. I couldn't be more happy with your product and I'll be buying it for the life of my dog. I don't know what I'll do if my Petco stops selling it. When it goes on sale I am going to buy in bulk! Anyway, thank you! Please keep making such a wonderful dog food. Your friend and animal lover, Matthew Tiemann

My 12-year-old standard poodle had a chronic problem with his nose, it was red, cracked and very sore to the touch. After feeding him your Natural Balance® Sweet Potato and Fish Formula, his nose returned to its normal color, is moist and no longer sore. I tell everyone about how wonderful your product. Suzanne, WI

I have a Pomeranian who has been diagnosed with a skin condition. He lost a great amount of hair and had sores all over his small body. I switched to Natural Balance approx. 2 months ago using the non-wheat formula. What a difference, his sores have healed and now his hair is beginning to grow back. Both of my dogs now eat Natural Balance. It's worth every penny! Allison, CT

Thank you for making a cat food without corn of anykind in it AND THANK YOU FOR NO ANIMAL TESTING. My pink cat Dusty Rose (pink as I call him )is allergic to corn of any kind. While on your food he is happy and healthy playing and running around the house.Thanks for my Pink Panther! Sherry, PA

I just wanted to send an email on how wonderful Natural Balance Dog Food is. I have a one year old black pug who just loves her NB Dog Food. Everywhere we go, honestly, people always walk up to us and compliment on healthy and beautiful her coat looks. I tell everyone how they should try NB, because of all its benefits. I just want to thank your company again for all of the wonderful things it offers, and for the food that keeps Gracie, beautiful!! I am a grateful customer, and keep up the GREAT work! Regards, Tish Wilson

We have an Irish Wolfhound, Lia, since June 2008. She had loose stools, poor appetite and slow weight gain. A young man at our local Petco suggested your pet food. We had tried many others, without success. Yours was the first she ate, and ate hungrily! We added some of your canned food, and she has now grown beautifully! She'll be a year old on April 14th; she has to bulk up, but she is a tall and sweet and healthy wolfhound. Thanks for making such a great product; she is thriving now - such a happy, sweet girl! The Fay Family

I have a Golden Retriever, Kenai, who has was always sick with intestinal problems and was diagnosed with Micro Vascular Dysplsia. His vet told me about your Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Formula and he has not been sick at all since we switched. Thank you for making such a wonderful product for these precious animals! Thank you! Stacy, NV
