want to thank you for making such a wonderful food. I
am a breeder of Devon Rex cats and have had several cats
with allergies, one kitten in particular refused every
other food and was only surviving by nursing (he was 10
weeks old) we ruled out all other medical issues and decided
to finally try allergy tests. Your Natural Balance®
Duck and also Venison
Allergy Cat Food literally saved his life!
I am considering changing all my breeding and show cats
onto your food and would like to be able to tell all my
clients to buy this food also. I am so grateful to you
for making an exceptional cat/kitten food! Thank you not
only from me but from some very happy Devons! Patrice,

| Four
years ago we adopted a rescued English Pointer as a companion
for our Doberman. Obviously a hunter had left her in the
field as she has bird shot in her head and a BB in her
elbow - why are people so cruel? Anyway, "Abby"
has a wonderful home with us, sleeps in our bed, goes
to the dog park everyday to play with her buddies and
run off that energy!! I was feeding her Nutra for a few
years, then switched to Science Diet. She seemed to not
enjoy her SD after a year or so, and I was given samples
of your product at a charity fund raiser for a new police
dog. Abby loves your Natural Balance® Sweet
Potato & Venison and Potato
and Duck Formula! She doesn't need to be
encouraged to eat - when the food goes down, she's right
there. Thank you for making a HEALTHY dog food, without
all the junk. I feel so good about feeding her the 2 cups
a day, even though it's more expensive. We've loved every
dog that we've had as much as we love our kids. So I'm
glad we can give Abby her Natural Balance! She's so healthy,
shiny and active! Thank
you!!! Phyllis P. - South Carolina |
| First
of all, wanted to say thank you for the Natural
Balance® Potato
and Duck Formula - my yellow lab is allergic
to ALL grains, rice, and soy, so finding this food (and
at an affordable price) was fantastic! We have been using
it for two years, and I get compliments on his coat all
the time--he no longer looks like he has mange, as he
did when I first rescued him and didn't know about his
allergies... However, I would like to suggest that Natural
Balance make a light version, with BIG kibble. Thanks
for taking the time to read this, and again, thank you
for making this great allergy food! Best
wishes, Karen |
| WOW!
I am a owner of one dog and a cat. I have never seen them
empty their food bowls, I had to look twice. I was given
samples of Natural Balance® from
Petco at a dog rescue. I have changed brands of food for
my pets. My dog loves the Natural Balance®
Dog
Food Rolls, it smells like a summer sausage.
I tell my friends and family members about Natural
Balance®. Lynette,

| I
feed Natural Balance® to all three
of my dogs that I have rescued - a full blooded Siberian
Husky, Red Doberman Hound mix and a Golden Retriever Hound
mix. I also use it in my store for passing out treats
and I feed all the Humane Society Cats at my store since
I am working with the Humane Society and I house all the
cats we are now up to 23 kittens and 8 adults. It gets
quiet interesting. Thanks so much for such a great food
it has helped my Husky so much I feed all the Treats
and Rolls
too. I have just recently switched them over to the Natural
Balance® Sweet
Potato & Venison, but may have to check
out the Natural Balance® Lamb
Meal & Brown Rice too! They will eat
all of the flavors of this food, before they turned down
everything - Eagle Pack, Wellness, Merrick, Eukanuba,
etc. We have so many brands in my store but I have most
of my customers on Natural Balance they are seeing what
a difference it made in mine they all come to work every
day they are behind the cash register area. It is over
12,000 sq ft pet shop. I do have customers wanting cat
rolls too and cat treats. We just recently held our third
annual cancer dog walk with the relay for life in our
town. We have the most amazing rep Joe Dryer and our Wolverton
rep is spectacular too we could not ask for better people.Thank
you so much for all you have done. Ginger

just wanted to let you know that after 10 years of suffering.
My Chocolate Cocker Spaniel Joey is not having allergy
problems anymore. I started him on your grain free products
about a 2 months ago. His hair is coming back and his
skin is no longer black and crusty. He does not itch all
the time and is actually starting to be playful again.
I've tried everyting in the past. He has been on antibiotics,
steroids, enzymes, other holistic foods and nothing worked.
I also just took some to a friend that was having the
same problems. And I've told my sister about it. It's
hard to believe that his problem all along was grain.
I feel so bad that he suffered all these years. But, I
just didn't know. Thank you for this product. I have all
3 of my dogs and my cat your products and they are all
very happy! As a single mom trying to make ends meet it
is expensive for me to purchase. But, I love my pets and
want them all to be healthy and happy. I beats having
to pay for trips to the vet and for prescriptions that
don't work. Thanks again. W.

| I
have eight dogs, Five Chinese shar-pei and Three English
Bulldogs. I put them all on Natural Balance®
Potato and
Duck Formula. I was spending so much money
and time at the vets office with ear infections, skin
issues, etc. They have been on your food for 8 months
now, and all look wonderful! The best part is they all
love the food and are very excited to eat! The gobble
it down quickly every time. Thanks so such a great product! |
| I
have an eight year old Chocolate Lab named Buster. He
has had recurring skin allergies. I was concerned with
the constant treatment of steroids and their effects.
My vet, Dr. Kevin Brightbill, suggested a vegetarian dog
food. After 3 weeks on Natural Balance® Vegetarian
Formula, I was able to take Buster off steroids
and his allergies have cleared up. My vet was amazed and
pleased. We will both recommend your food to other pet
owners with the same problems. Thank you so much for this
wonderful product. I have also purchased some of your
dog treats and Buster loves them. Sincerely,
Martha Dressler |
| This
is a Thank you note. My 15 yr old cat Oliver, looked very
skinny & lethargic. After $300 worth of blood tests,
vet suggested going back to Oliver's regular diet! Natural
Balance Ultra Premium
Cat Food!!! I truly thought I was going to
lose my old guy, but putting him back on Natural Balance
worked. He was back to his old self again within a very
few days. Keep up the good work! Your product worked a
little miracle. Thanks again! >..< R.M.

represent Tillman,
the Skateboarding Bulldog, (as seen on all
the Apple I-Phone commercials and on YouTube) Please tell
the rest of the Natural Balance "family" that
Tillman is a big fan of YOU! Thank you for keeping him
healthy and happy. He is truly a dog on the go! Keep up
the great work! Mike |

want you to know how much my dog loves your products!
I have a 2 year old chihuahua that was a bit overweight.
I never understood why we was plump. My husband and I
walked him regularly and we thought his diet was fine...we
realized how wrong we were. We had been feeding him Royal
Canin chihuahua food. We thought that since it was breed
specific that is was the best for him. A friend told me
about Natural Balance and I got it right away. He loved
it from the start! I use the Natural Balance®
Ultra
Premium Reduced Calorie and a bit of the
Beef meat roll. He immediately starting to lose weight
and have tons more energy-it was amazing! My chihuahua
(Murphy) and I want to thank you! You have made him a
happy (and healthy!) dog! Charity,
Newport Beach |
| I
wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I love your
dog food. My dog developed a severe ear infection that
was a result of a food allergy. Initially I was feeding
him prescription food, until someone recommended your
brand. I buy the Natural Balance® Sweet
Potato & Fish Formula dry food and my
dog LOVES IT! Not only does he love it, but he looks great.
His coat is shiny and his weight is under control and
healthy. He will be 8 this August and he looks and acts
like a 2yr old. Thanks
a bunch!! Denise Purzycki |
 I
have a 4 year old female Bichon Frise who has had to live
her life walking a thin line between health and illness.
She has celiac disease, pancreatitis, colitis and gastritis
(to name but a few) and has suffered since 8 weeks of
age from almost constant diarrhea and/or vomiting. We
have tried (vet supervised) every kind of food out there
- "prescription" diets that are supposed to
be formulated for her "conditions", premium
dog foods, organic dog foods, grain-free dog foods and
even chain store brands of dog food only to have our dog
become ill (and, more than once, hospitalized) after consuming
even just a spoonful of these foods. We were left with
making her food ourselves which, as you can imagine, is
time consuming and frustrating. Because she has food allergies
as well as her other GI conditions, she has been eating
a diet of boiled rice and chicken with dietary supplements.
I am constantly researching and testing new foods but
never with any luck. I had all but given up when, as a
lets-give-it-one-last-try, I discovered Natural
Balance Canned
Chicken Formula. It was one of the few chicken
formulas out there that did not contain turkey as well
(our dog is allergic to turkey) and it did not contain
wheat! I took home a can and gave our dog a spoonful in
her regular dinner.....she loved it and it did not upset
her GI system! Over the next two weeks, I slowly increased
the amount of Natural Balance I gave her with each meal
until finally that was all she was eating. EUREKA! We
had finally found a food that her delicate system could
tolerate. All I want to say is thank you! Thank you for
being so focused on the ingredients and quality of your
product and for making it possible for our little girl
to thrive on commercially prepared food for the first
time in her life! Thank you for freeing us from the work
involved with home cooking. And, thank you for helping
my dog live a healthier, more enjoyable life. Yours
truly, Janet Casciato, Ontario, Canada |
 Logan,
my ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback, turned 5 years old this
past March. When he was 1 and 1/2, he started exhibiting
an allergic reaction... itchy mouth, ear infections, skin
rashes, rectal bleeding, vomiting, and food refusal (unheard
of for a ridgeback). With consultation from our vet, we
went through several longterm doses of metranidazole,
which helped only temporarily, and several diet trials.
The diet trials included beef/rice, turkey/rice, and several
*allergy formulas* of other dog foods. My poor dog was
suffering, and my instinct was that it was an allergy
to chicken, eggs, and rice. My vet kept putting him on
chicken-based allergy formulas, so I took a second opinion,
where Logan had full bloodwork, x-rays, and a full checkup.
Nothing. I went with my instincts. I informed both vets
that we would be trying Natural Balance® Sweet
Potato & Fish Formula, and he's been
on it ever since. I just want to thank you a million times
over for saving my dog's life and saving me countless
vet expenses. Please don't ever stop making this food!
To all the other dog owners out there with allergy problems,
don't give up! One thing that took me a while to figure
out is that allergic symptoms can continue to occur up
to six weeks after exposure, even if the allergen is no
longer present. I did a lot of food research to determine
what the best food for my dog would be, looking at insoluble/soluble
fiber ratios, omega 3/6 counts, calcium phosporus ratios,
and % protein. Sweet Potato and Fish formula fit the bill,
and I wish I could express how healthy he is on it. His
coat simply glows. He still gets a hold of chicken or
egg-based tidbits, mostly through other people, and his
latest reaction is a mad case of hives. However, his reactions
are considerably less severe on the Sweet Potato and Fish
formula, than they were on other foods. I don't know how
so many dog food companies get it wrong, but I am so glad
that you are getting it right. It's time we take a serious
look at why the allergy rate for dogs (and people) is
skyrocketing! I suspect a good deal of the blame lies
on food source and preparation quality. You guys need
to get into the vet clinics to stop them from selling
the cheap, filler dog foods labeled as 'prescription diets.'
If it wasn't for Natural Balance, my dog would be on one
of those formulas with a lifetime of drugs and possibly
steroids ahead of him. You have a lifelong customer here!

 I
just wanted to thank Everyone at Natural Balance for donating
to our club The Mohawk Valley Pug Club. Not only was your
kindness appreciated but... I myself tried the Natural
Balance® Dog
Food Rolls on my 7 year old blind, diabetic
pug whom by the way never moved only to eat and ask to
go out. After just one week on the meat rolls she is a
new pug running, walking, alert, and this is such a new
dog that I wanted to thank you for a new baby!!!! your
product is amazing and i will continue to use it on ALL
the rescue dogs we take in. We are up to 14 at this time
and they love the food and we love how healthy they have
become, thanks to you and your wonderful product. Thank
you for the miracle, Miss Pheobe (thats the pug), and

can't thank your company ENOUGH for literally SAVING my
cat's life! My 14 year old has had horrible IBS and vomiting
for over 6 months. NOT ONE VET, prescription or prescription
diet has been able to calm his issue. He was dying!! I
have used the Natural Balance®
Green Pea and Duck
Formula for a week and not ONE issue!!! I
CANT THANK YOUR COMPANY ENOUGH FOR SAVING HIS LIFE!! He's
slowly gaining his weight back. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THANK
YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Kelly,

| Slick |
Little
Missy & her babies |
Slick
was an abused cat that we rescued 10 years ago. He ate
Science Diet for years. Every bowel movement was diarrhea
& he was vomiting once or twice a day. We tried several
of the Science Diet foods for cats but he didn't get better.
This went on for over 6 months. The vet said we would
probably have to keep him on steroids. I weaned him off
of the steroids and started giving him Natural
Balance Ultra Premium
Cat Food and he is a new cat. He is almost
13 now with healthy bowels and maybe vomits once a month.
Last year we adopted an abandoned momma kitty, Little
Missy, and her kittens. Little Missy was very scrawny
and now she is a very healthy cat. We are so very thankful
to have found Natural Balance. Living in a rural area,
we either order online or wait until we drive over 100
miles to get this food. It is worth every mile! Thanks,

| Dear
Natural Balance, I simply have a comment - actually; it
is a plea. I beg of you to keep your Natural Balance®
Potato and
Duck Formula the same! My four dogs suffered
immensely and I researched and tried things endlessly
until I found this food. Their lives have changed and
I can finally get some rest from the non stop worry and
searching. Thank you so much for what you do for those
that cannot speak for themselves. I will go to the ends
of the Earth and back for my fur angels and you have made
that possible... Thank
you Natural Balance, Bailey |
| I
have been feeding my dogs your food for two years now
and they have done very well on it. My cats like your
food too, and I especially want to thank you for developing
the allergy Natural Balance®
Green Pea and Duck
Formula for cats. My older female cat Olive
was losing weight and throwing up after developing an
allergy to something in the regular cat food. She hasn't
been sick since she went on the duck and pea formula and
she has not lost any more weight. So thank you because
I was worried about her and now she is doing well. Sarah

| We
rescued a 6.5 month old beagle end of Jan. We struggled
for 2.5 months to find a food that she would eat. She
would even refuse the home cooked recipe that friends
feed their beagles. Can you imagine, a healthy beagle
refusing to eat!!!! Our pup would go 1.5 days without
eating, constantly throwing up bile. Until we tried your
Natural Balance® Potato
and Duck Formula. She now eats both her daily
meals. I can't tell you how relieved we are. We had been
treating both our beagles with the Natural Balance®
Potato
and Duck Treats. At times that is all she
would eat, hence my trying the dry food. Thank you so
much for the good quality, and TASTY food. Susan |
| I
am so happy to have found your Natural Balance®
Potato and
Duck Formula for my Golden Ret. He has always
had ear and skin issues. But after being on your food
exclusively, he's like a new dog!
Kristy, Liberty Lake, WA |
 About
over a year maybe longer we started on Natural
Balance® Potato
and Duck Formula just a 5 lb bag just in
case the dogs did not like it but we soon figured out
that it was a big hit in our house. When I would feed
my dogs before I discovered Nature Balance my dogs just
picked at their food, sometimes it would take two days
to empty out the food. One day I was at Petco and picked
up some sample bags and haven't looked back. I had my
sister change her dog food when she came to visit with
her pooch she said, "You try to feed him but he only
eats lunch meat." My eyes lit up with amazement that
my sister would do tha. She said she had to or her dog
would not eat. I put a small bowl in front of this Dachshund,
and she and my sister are still happy they came to visit.
Again, thank Mr Van Patten for putting out a quality dog
food. Sincerely
yours, Pamela Boatwright |
