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 Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diet 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 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.
Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
When switching your dog's diet, the change should be made gradually by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Sweet Potato & Bison Dry Dog Food. The change should be completed after 5 - 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog.

Recently, my 2.5 year old Lab started having incontinence (involuntary peeing) issues. The urinalysis results from the vet showed he had crystals in his urine, which can make it uncomfortable to hold pee/pee. Crystals developing in urine is typically caused by high phosphorus in dog food. Upon conversation with my vet and much research, phosphorus should be .9% MAX, his previous food was 1.4% and sadly 1% and higher is common in dog food. My vet also informed us this could later turn into kidney issues if we don't address it, first step was change the food. I found Natural Balance and I could not be happier right now.

I believe the website shows this bag as having .9% phosphorus, but the bag says .7%, so I assume it is between there, which is great. This was the only non-senior dog food I could find with the levels I wanted and ingredients I like. I have seen a major change and he has only been on it for roughly 5 weeks. He is no longer dribbling pee or leaking pee in his sleep!! This is a great sign! He has another urinalysis coming up, but I hope and feel it will be good considering I have not seen him lose control of his bladder since week 2 on the food (I will update with the results)! To add to it, my hound had AWFUL breath, it got so bad we couldn't let him give us kisses on the face anymore because it would linger... his breath isn't terrible anymore! I didn't see that coming, but I am so happy since I love his sweet kisses. I was shocked when I realized I didn't have to hold my breath when he gave me my morning kisses! They both get so excited to eat this food. I love it. It's a little more expensive, but it is extremely worth it to me. My babies are healthy and very happy! I highly recommend. … more

Not worth the price! My dog likes the food & digests it well but I cannot recommend it due to the price increase from just over $55 to just below $70 in less than a year seems like price gouging & is more than I'm willing to pay. We're switching dog foods with our next order.

We started off with a premium, grain free puppy food when we got our Sheltie puppy. We noticed him sneezing frequently and had a hard time getting him to eat. I literally had to train him with treat rewards if he ate all his food. He would throw up his breakfast about 2-3 times a week and burped frequently. The vet suggested trying a lower protein diet, and recommended this one. He loves it. No more bribery to eat, and no more throwing up, sneezing or burping. Sounds like it was allergies.

I adopted 9 yr. old Pogo 2 years ago but could never identify the dry food she'd been eating, couldn't find one she liked, and so was feeding her high-quality canned food. While visiting a friend, she was fed this dry food and loved it. So I transitioned her over to it and she is livelier, has healthier and more regular bowels and seems to love it. Years ago I fed my dog Natural Balance and that dog also did well on it - so I'm glad to be "back" to it. I trust it and Pogo loves it.

I have an 8yr old black lab/shepherd mix. He has been plagued with chronic ear infections and allergies since he was 2. He recently received a radical Total Ear Canal Ablation (removal of ear canals) to eliminate the infections. As for his allergies, I have searched for a kibble (in addition to his wet food) that was a healthier choice and something he and his sister would actually eat. We are on our 2nd bag and although they were reluctant at first, they seem to have accepted Natural Balance as their choice. Here's to hoping the eating continues :-)

I have a 2 year old German Shepherd who was recently diagnosed with EPI. His food needed to be changed and I gave this a try hoping he would eat it and not realizing I added the enzyme to it. So now I give him the bison and sweet potato dry food with a heaping tablespoon of the buffalo and sweet potato wet food. I add 1/2 -1 teaspoon of raw beef pancreas with some water and put it in the blender. The dog now follows me everywhere. He was 100lbs before he got sick and went down to 78 lbs. Within 10 days of being on the new diet he gained 9 lbs. As of 2 weeks ago his weight went to 94lbs. I was hesitant when picking a new food and this was the 1st I tried and he absolutely loves it so there's I have a 2 year old German Shepherd who was recently diagnosed with EPI.

This product is a bit expensive and doesn't seem to go as far as Pro Plan pound for pound (I don't know why, but that's my impression) but my 4 yr. old Boxer loves it! I used to mix a bit of Pro Plan dry and canned food together but now only serve a cup of Natural B. 3x a day (with a bit of human food here and there) and my boxer girl seems to thrive on it. I will spend the extra money in the future as my impression is she feels better and likes it much more! I only hope she doesn't tire of this food product.
