We feed the boys 2 or 3 varieties of NB and some of their treats. No problems and if I remember correctly none of the NB products were recalled last year.

Well, I had been feeding my babies Wellness and after noticing my female had been itching I decided to switch to Natural Balance. Although it took awhile for her to love it she does eat it and I have noticed she is not itching anymore so I am very happy with it!

I have a picky eater and Krissy wouldn't eat the NB. She had a bad Hypo attack and we were desperate to get her to eat anything. We tried a ton of stuff, dry and canned. We finally have her on canned Nature's recipe and a mix of dry royal canine (she came fromt he breeder on this) and nature's recipe. She will pick out all of the RC and eat only it out of the dry food.

I wanted to stick with the NB because of what I read here but for me it was just important to get her to eat.

i had the hardest time with bella for a while with her scratching and chewing her hair off her back side. it was pretty bad she was nearly bald back there!! i tried so many foods and switched her so many times it was crazy!! when she was a puppy she was on bill jac and then i switched her to royal canin and the itching would not stop. so i tried wellness and just before i changed her to natural balance she was on a food from the vet. when i mix the wet with the dry she picks the dry out, i am trying to get her to eat it also by heating it up.

Bella is an extremely picky eater. I tried Natural balance Duck and Potato with no luck, I keep putting it down once or twice a week but she just wont eat it. I wish the Pet store sold small sample bags. I hate having to buy the big bags and then she doesn't eat it. She does like the NB rolls though. I would like to try the NB canned to see if she likes that.

You can ask the company to send you samples or my pet store says you can return the bag if it does not work out.

Bailey's been on the Ultra Premium for 2 months now and loves it. I also chop up a little of the beef or turkey roll in it from time to time.

Yes, some of the food companies will mail you a small sample to try.

Just an after thought....if you ever have food that your pet doesn't like and won't eat please think about donating to your local animal shelter. Also if you have coupons for pet foods you don't use you can donate these as well.

Just an idea!
