| Dick van Patten's Natural Balance I used to feed our Yorks Innova until they suddenly got sick from a contaminated bag. I have since settled on Dick van Patten's Natural Balance. They seem to love it and the ingredients seem pretty good. Anyone else like this for their Yorks? |

| Buddy has been on Natural Balance Orgainic for almost 4yrs and doing well with it. The ingrediants are very good. I add some home cooked chicken and veggies daily to it. There has not been a recall on this brand so far. |

| We use Natural Balance and my girls love it. We have used all of the different kinds except the Venison. They like all of them except the fish and sweet potato, that one is not their favorite. I have also used the rolls for treats. I have even used the vegtable formula.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | We switched to NB a while ago & Bella Loves it! We tried small bites Duck/Potato and Venison/Sweet Potato (which is her fav)!! Love that the kibbles are round and flat! Also, Love the smaller canned food!

| Nstural Balance (NB) The "Boyz" have been on NB kibble and Merrick canned since we adopted them Jan/Feb 08. I have had no problems with NB. The list of ingredients seems reasonable. NB also makes good dry treats (personally tasted them, not bad at all), rolls/logs.

| I had my crew on NB for a few months but their stool was soft and and they pooped several times a day. I just switched them back to Innova and 'things' are back to normal. |

| I dont' feed kibble- but if i did i think i would feed NB- i like their ingredients- i like that they have allergy and sensitive tummy formulas and i like that you can enter your bar code on their website and see the quality control tests that bag went through. |

| Milo Loves NB, I had him on the organic but a few weeks ago we were in the store and they were giving samples of the limited ingredient Lamb and he just gobbled it up so I switched him over he loves it. |

| I had my little guy try out Duck/Potato and Spotato/Venison and he barely ate any of it. Whatever he did eat caused weird poops, like little pebbles, not tootsie rolls. He would always eat some and spit some out and eat enough just to get by....on EVO he eats like a COW. I also always felt it did not have enough meat in it since meat is not the 1st ingredient item on their list. I am no expert though by any means...

| Mine are not on NB kibble ( they are on wellness) but I do use the NB L.I.D. canned to mix with their kibble sometimes because they like Venison and wellness doesn't make a canned venison. They seem to really like it.
