We have a 3 yr old large mutt, a 9 yr old shih tzu, an ancient (he's a rescue so we don't really know age but seriously geriatric) schnauzer, and a 2 yr old yorkie. NB has a life stages formula that is supposed to be for all ages so for the last 3 months we've been using it. All of the dogs have gained weight so I had been wondering if that was good or not but Grandpa (the schnauzer) has had quite a good experience.
Before I was feeding NutroPro. Grandpa came to us with a gross skin problem. He had scabs ALL over. I took him to the vet and they said it was a bacterial infection we did 2 rounds of antibiotics and special shampoo every week. This went on for about a year. I switched to the Natural Balance and his skin condition is GONE! His breath even smells better.
Maybe it was a food allergy but I'm impressed if it was the food. Just thought I would share that. Aside from the slight weight gain I'm happy with the food.
Take care,
BeccaD
