The amounts in the table are intended as guidelines only. The food intake should be adjusted according to the age, weight, breed, temperature, climate and activity level of your dog. Consult a veterinarian for specific weight recommendations.
Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Synergy Dry Dog Food, we suggest starting with the amounts recommended in the table. Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions, temperature and activity of your dog. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your dog's needs.
For pregnant females: A minimal increase is needed during the first 6 weeks. Increase the amount fed up to 25% during weeks 7, 8, and 9. For lactating females: Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal meals per day. For 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. For 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. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog.
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 5-7 day period.

I'm glad we switched brands
By tink09 on Dec 12, 2020
I have 3 large breed dogs, ages 1, 7 and 11. I have had them on a grain free diet for years. During the past 6 months I noticed excess gas, diarrhea and so I started reading the labels more closely. I decided to try the Natural Balance Synergy formula and all of their issues have gone away.

Torn bag with food spilled out
By Nick on Jan 18, 2021
Bag arrived torn in the box. Otherwise I’ve never had a problem with chewy orders. I had to tape the bag so no other food spilled out.

Welcome Back!
By Mama on May 3, 2020
We were "off" this brand for the first month of the pandemic and my 80 lb. gal hard the hardest stools imaginable. One week bringing her favorite food back in (slowly) and she is all better! Even with an added probiotic the other (expensive) brand was not the right fit. Ingredients in Natural Balance or great for her.

The search continues
By AngryMom on Mar 31, 2020
I dont know why it's so hard to find a food for dogs that I can trust, and that they'll actually like. I saw good reviews for this food and my dogs seem to like it, but ever since I started them on it exclusively, they have been eating grass every chance they get, and their poops have been consistently pasty and unhealthy. I did a search on this food causing nausea and apparently it used to be a good food, but they changed something and now owners whose dogs used to do really well with it are reporting the same issues I've been seeing.

Eats it up!
By kmar on Apr 11, 2020
My Aussie 12 mos. loved it and eats his food right up which he did not do with his previous brand. His poop looks healthier also. This is week one so we shall see.

HELPED WITH DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
By Beaniesmom on Jan 7, 2020
My rescue dog had problems with diarrhea for a year or so after I got him. After going for bunches of vet visits with bags of his poop, I started experimenting with different foods. Some very expensive brands like a Acana still gave him diarrhea. This product he loves and ( with a combination of a few other brands) his stool became normal.

not a favorite
By GiGi on Dec 28, 2019
We bought this because I hear good things about Natural Balance and because my dog’s litter mate likes it but my guy didn’t like so much. He preferred the puppy kibble I had been getting earlier on.
