These feeding guidelines are suggested only. Feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate. Amounts are recommended for an average dog with normal activity. Adjust feeding guideline according to your dog’s age, activity level, and environment.
Adult dogs: Feed either once or twice a day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® Vegetarian Dry Dog Food, we suggest starting with the amounts recommended in the table. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your dog’s needs. Working dogs: Based on the work your dog will be asked to perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly. As the workload increases, the demand for protein and fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training will generally require twice the maintenance levels. Older dogs: As your dog begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for a less active dog.
We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals, or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
When switching your dog's diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 7-10 day period. Replace 25% of the current diet with the new diet, every 2 - 3 days until they are fully transitioned.

Riley, my German Shepherd has allergies and out of desperation I decided to try vegetarian food. He loves it, as does his sister, Annie. It was a very easy transition, as they both loved it from day one. Still early to say whether or not it helps Riley’s itching, but it does seem to be not as bad as before. Do not hesitate to try this food for your dog, big success in my home!

My dog has dealt with allergies her whole life - bad ear infections and redness / itchiness of her skin. I’ve tried prescription diets, cutting out certain foods, supplements, medication, etc., and nothing has worked. This food has been what has helped her most. Although her skin issues and ear infections haven’t gone away completely, I know switching to this food has helped significantly. She’s also very enthusiastic about eating now, which she never has been before.

Vegetarian Diet. Great for a senior dog; my senior has liver issues, so we keep her protein a bit lower then the average adult dog. Seniors tend to be less active

Our dogs love this!
This is the most easily accessible and affordable plant-based kibble I've found. Our 13.5 year old Golden mix has perfect bloodwork, and still acts like a younger
This is the most easily accessible and affordable plant-based kibble I've found. Our 13.5 year old Golden mix has perfect bloodwork, and still acts like a younger dog. Our two younger Goldens love this, too. I love that it meets the AAFCO nutritional standards so I don't need to worry about any missing nutrients.

Cooper has been eating this food for the last six years. I do give him supplements as well but he’s doing great as a vegetarian.

Our friends had to pet sit our dogs for a week and they couldn't have any meat products in their home, so we tired these and it was an excellent substitution. Our dogs didn't notice any difference.
Our pups favorite kibble
We tried two other brands before settling on this one, then tried to switch to another, but they revolted. So we can strongly recommend Natures Balance Plant Based!
We tried two other brands before settling on this one, then tried to switch to another, but they revolted. So we can strongly recommend Natures Balance Plant Based! Dogs are doing great on it too. The older one used to have recurring ear infections, and remarkably they haven’t come back in their two years on this food.

We have 2 JRT's. This vegetarian recipe has been instrumental in lessening the incessant scratching and chewing. Always good to check everything else health-wise overall, but as for the food itself... this has been a winner for the past year now.
