Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Duck & Green Pea Formula Grain-Free Canned Cat Food

Yes, this will sound superficial: I got this at vet's suggestion because my cat has chronic loose stools and we thought a limited ingredient diet was worth a try. Black Bart loved this. (He loves all food, including the occasional bug that he manages to catch; he's not fussy.) But it didn't help his gastrointestinal issues. I found the food texture disagreeable....it clings to the spoon, it clings to the dish, it clings to the can and is hard to remove for trash or recycling where you don't want food residue. Your experience may differ. We're going back to Bart's old favorite, from Wellness.

My Siamese had FHV and now that she is 13 it has become cronic. She was losing weight due to an outbreak and would only eat dry food. When my vet told me we needed to get her on wet food I knew I was in for a nightmare. Cats are so finicky so I went to the pet store and bought several small cans of different brands and flavors. All were snubbed except Natural Balance and Wellness Core in the venison,duck, turkey, beef and lamb. Wellness Core is double the price of Natural Balance plus I find that the Natural Balance seems pastier and not as wet. So I tried mixing the 2 brands in relative flavor to see what would happen and both my Siamese and Ragdoll love it.

My cats loved this food for the past few years, but we have recently gotten several bad batches - they will turn up their noses at a can from the bad batch, but if I replace it with a can from a different batch they are still excited.

I have ordered this food in the past numerous times and my two cats were always fans. However, this recent order has been a completely different experience. They will not eat the food at all and it just goes to waste. The food is entirely too expensive for that and we have our first child on the way so chasing after the cats to eat the food is not possible. I am also disappointed that Chewy’s customer service has no way to report a product issue, I only see the option to send the product back which is not happening while pregnant during a pandemic.

I tried this for one of my cats who is a puker and a very picky eater. The vets could not figure out why, but suggested duck. It actually helped and he loves it and the crunchy of this flavor too. Not a single clean-up since the switch and his coat seems healthier. My three other cats have come to prefer this over the Wellness chicken that I had been feeding so I am in the process of switching them all. A big surprise from this as well is that one of my Bengals who has had a problem with a swollen belly is no longer swollen. The vets could not figure this out either but it seems that the duck and pea recipe has been a relief for the puking and the inflammation. I'm so happy we found this!

Vet recommended this as an alternative to a too expensive allergy formula. Unfortunately, I ordered a case and my cat won't touch it. She will even eat around it if I add to other food.

Weird black-moldy looking substance in one can (photo attached). Another can had a weird white powder. I will not be buying this brand anymore.

this was prescribed for an older cat who had lost a startling amount of weight but was too thin to have a biopsy; vet thought it was probably peritonitis. he seemed to like this food, but took a turn for the worse and died. i still have quite a few cans of THREE different "duck" foods, and my other cats seem to l \ike this one the best.

My cats usually love anything with duck in it, but not one of my four cats will touch this food. I have tried it with their favorite toppings, and hiding it under other food, but no. It seems they would rather starve than eat this. Very disappointed!

Chewy bent over backwards to except a return of food my cats would not eat and helped me find the food they would. My cats are happy and I'm happy.
