Use to love it. But it's now made by Proctor and Gamble - one of the most cruel companies I know of. The quality control has massively declined, I would never feed ANY product made by Proctor and Gamble!

My yorkie is now 3 months old. I have feeding him the NB Small Bites Ultra Premium Dog Food and that make me scared to feed him with NB anymore.

I would like to switch to Now!. Should I choose NOW! FRESH Grain Free Small Breed Recipe or NOW! FRESH Grain Free Puppy Recipe to him?

I do not know what is the different between this

Natural Balance LID Sweet potato and venison is the only food that has not caused my Jada to itch or to have tummy issues IDK what I am going to do now..it took two years to find a food that she would eat and that wouldn't cause flare ups with her allergies.

My 5 month old Yorkie is on Blue Buffalo Life Protection Puppy. Has anyone tried this? I was told by many people this is a very good brand. Have you heard otherwise? I'm a little nervous after reading about Natural Balance!

Same with me. This is what I have for Bentley because of his allergies. It has worked for him.

Michelle, if you find out anything for Jada please let me know what you decide, ok? Dyan

Nature's Variety has a limited ingredient formula that they came out with about six months ago, you might want to give that a shot if your pup has allergy problems.

I will Dyan..I just bought and opened a new bag of the NB last week. I store my kibble in a vittles vault so I buy the big bag We havent had any issues with the food and I put an email into Natural Balance about the plant in SC ..so far have not heard back from them

Some of you might remember that Levi had a little "flu" awhile back and we didn't know what it really was. I called my vet because Levi was on the Natural Balance when he got sick. Interesting coincidence, I think not this food was probably the culprit. We are feeding Now Grain Free small bites with no problems at all. No itching, no paw licking both seem to be doing very well on it. Petcuren seems like a good company. crossing fingers.

you always wonder if it's the food making them sick, I had mine on NB fish and potatoes Teddy was just real uncomfortable acting (maybe gas) and Wicket was itching terrible, they had been on SD Nature's Best with no problems but SD quit making it so I was on hunt for new food and then I ran across this info and now I don't know what to feed. I did stopped the NB and everyone went back to normal.

This is just an idea, but I know Royal Canin RX diets have a Venison and Potato and also a Rabbit and Potato. It obviously would be more expensive but I know Royal Canin is big on their Quality Control. And, if your worried about ingredients, those diets are actually really comparable to NB.

Just a thought..

I agree. Royal Canin isn't my favorite but their quality control is good - and I find their foods extremely palatable. I use their "fussy dog" formula available at Petcos when I have a dog that isn't eating, and my little Martini with her multiple problems has had alot of GI issues. I keep her on the Royal Canin prescription gastrointestinal food - anything else she starts having GI issues again!

I too have been feeding my babies NB Duck & Potato. I noticed a difference in the kibble on the last 2 bags I have purchased. They were so different in color and in smell that it made me a little nervous. I am also having a terrible time trying to get them to eat anymore. They don't want to play as much and they just act different. I thought maybe it was because they just turned a year old and aren't puppies anymore but thanks to this thread I know different now! I am so upset and hope I haven't done any permanent damage to them by feeding them this food. They have such allergies and it took me so long to get them on a food that didn't make them bite and scratch and now this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am about to go to the Natural Balance website and complain. But first I have to get to Hollywood Feed and get them some food. I guess I will switch them all at once, not sure what else to do, don't want to ever feed them NB again! I even took a picture of the difference in the foods and am glad I did. Thank you for posting this and good luck to everyone that is about to make the switch. I hope we all can find something that agrees with our little angels.
