What does limited ingredient dog food mean?

While there is no official industry definition of what a “limited ingredient” is, at Natural Balance, our Limited Ingredient line is specifically made with sensitive pets in mind.

Natural Balance has great options for limited ingredient dog food. Natural Balance® Limited Ingredient recipes use a single, high-quality animal protein paired with wholesome carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes or brown rice. This approach helps make it easier to identify and avoid potential food sensitivities, while still providing complete & balanced nutrition. Fewer ingredients doesn’t mean less nutrition, it means a greater focus on what matters most for your dog’s health. At Natural Balance, less is always more.

Natural Balance pioneered the Limited Ingredient Diet and continues to lead the industry in Limited Ingredient dog and cat food. That’s why veterinarians recommend Natural Balance Limited Ingredient recipes for dogs with dietary sensitivities.
