The animal nutritionist at our local pet supply store suggested Natural Balance because it has only a few ingredients. Here is the list:
• Fresh Sweet Potatoes: Single premium quality carbohydrate rich in potassium and a highly digestible energy source.
• Fresh Venison: Premium quality protein source not commonly used in pet foods.
• Canola Oil: Low in saturated fat and high in monounsaturated fat. Excellent Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid profile.
• Flaxseed: An excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
• Grain Free
No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors, Colors or Bleached Ingredients.
Does anyone else feed this? Does this seem like a good dog food even if you don't feed it?
Thanks!! |
Are you talking about the sweet potato formula or the duck and potato formula? My boys are on the Natural Balance Ultra Premium Small Bites and it's GREAT! Champ has always has back problems and since we made the switch he's had no spasms. And his coat has improve and less itching. Also, Rowdy had a cough we he was 12 weeks (mild respitory infection), so we went ahead and switched him from teh eukanuba small breed puppy to the NB and his cough went away (without any meds). They said they think he was allergic to the grain. I love the NB...couldn't have asked for better results and they LOVE it too!
One thing though...the lady at our pet store told me to stay away from the products that the main protein source is duck for small breed. Don't really remember the reason, but she's very knowledgable (she's a retired vet asst.) so I figured there was some truth to that. I would check that out before switching to the duck formula. Good luck!
