Pretty good food for my picky eater

My boy is a very picky eater. It is so hard to find a food he enjoys (that isn’t someone else’s). He does not always eat it but it is the first kibble he has willingly

My boy is a very picky eater. It is so hard to find a food he enjoys (that isn’t someone else’s). He does not always eat it but it is the first kibble he has willingly tried without toppers. 7/10 times he will eat it plain. Love the ingredients too!

The quick delivery. We looked at each other when it came and said WOW.

It’s our usual limited ingredient. But it came very fast!

Food for my Dog

My dog eats crayons, so I don't think he's a picky eater. I don't eat the stuff, so I couldn't give a proper food review. If my dog starts talking, I'll let you

My dog eats crayons, so I don't think he's a picky eater. I don't eat the stuff, so I couldn't give a proper food review. If my dog starts talking, I'll let you know what he thinks about the product. But, I can say that it came and he ate it.

Nature Balance Health Protection Dog Food

I’ve been feeding my dog Nature Balance Health Protection, and honestly, it’s been great! My dog loves it, and I’ve noticed his coat is shinier and he’s got more

I’ve been feeding my dog Nature Balance Health Protection, and honestly, it’s been great! My dog loves it, and I’ve noticed his coat is shinier and he’s got more energy. He used to have some tummy issues, but this food has been super easy on his stomach. The ingredients are all-natural, which I love, and it doesn’t have any weird additives or fillers. It’s a nice mix of protein and grains, and he seems to really enjoy it. Also, he’s been itching a lot less, probably because of the healthy fats they put in it. One thing I’d suggest is switching to it slowly if your dog’s not used to richer food. But after that, it’s been all good! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but I feel like it’s totally worth it for how much it’s improved my dog’s health. Definitely recommend trying it out!

Great ingredients and size

Natural balance really caught my eye with their list of ingredients. It’s not often that a meat source of protein and not a “meal” of some kind is listed first

Natural balance really caught my eye with their list of ingredients. It’s not often that a meat source of protein and not a “meal” of some kind is listed first. I do also like the size of the kibble. With a 15lb terrier mix, she has issues with chewing some kibble, even if it’s listed as small breed. She’s a picky eater and does seem to enjoy the taste. She does really like pumpkin so that might be a reason! The smell is not too overwhelming or dog foody, the bag is really easy to open, but i do wish it came with a ziplock seal.
