The amounts in the table are intended as guidelines only. The food intake should be adjusted according to the age, weight and activity of your dog. It is important for your dog's health to maintain a proper body weight. Consult a veterinarian for specific weight recommendations. Puppies, and Pregnant or Nursing Females, require 2 - 3 times the Adult amounts. A reduction in food intake is recommended for less active and older dogs. Serve at room temperature. Any unused portion should be covered and refrigerated. Fresh clean water should be available at all times!
When switching your pet's diet, we recommend transitioning from the current diet to any new Natural Balance Formula over a 5 - 7 day period.
Day 1 - 2: 25% Natural Balance Formula, 75% Current Pet Formula Day 3 - 4: 50% Natural Balance Formula, 50% Current Pet Formula Day 5 - 6: 75% Natural Balance Formula, 25% Current Pet Formula Day 7: 100% Natural Balance Formula
If you do not have any of your current formula to mix, reduce the amount of formula fed for the first few days, feeding smaller more frequent meals over time. If your pet is more sensitive to change, please allow 10 - 14 days to fully transition onto the new formula.
How can I limit the ingredients my pet is exposed to?
Feeding formulas with limited ingredients is a great way to minimize their exposure to ingredients. Limited ingredient formulas have a restricted number of protein and carbohydrate sources.
How should I go about trying a limited ingredient diet for my pet?
Food trials on a limited ingredient diet should take place over at least 12 weeks using a novel protein and carbohydrate source that the pet has not had before. No other treats or food items should be fed during these first twelve weeks.
How else can I limit my pet’s exposure to certain ingredients?
Pets that can benefit from a limited ingredient diet should not have unsupervised access to human foods, garbage, or outdoor areas where they can ingest plants.

I really like the L.I.D brand and the quality ingredients in this product. BUT, my Kodi wouldn't eat it :( he buried it with rug lint! lol he kept pushing what ever he could find to cover it up so he wouldn't have to eat it. I'm sure other dogs will love this food. I thought it was worth a shot to try because this is a really good brand and great quality.

After trying several different foods, I am so glad to find one my Corgi mix will finally eat. Since she suffers greatly from allergies and refuses to eat what she doesn't like (she will go days without eating if she doesn't like it), the venison and sweet potato formula is the one she loves. Our vet recommended using venison to help with her allergies. Now she licks her bowl clean every day until she makes sure there is absolutely nothing left in her bowl. Please continue to offer this formula.

I have one dog who has a allergy to poultry so it is hard to find food that doesn’t have it . most say they don’t but have a small portion in the poultry by products. So that being said this food doesn’t have any poultry but my dogs do not like it and they are not picky eaters

I ate and enjoyed this stuff for three months, but they changed something or lost control, because now I will not eat this stuff. My owner tried three lots and they were all horrible in smell and taste! Natural Balance called my owner and told him it might vary from lot to lot because they didn't use any preservatives. Chewy.com replaced one lot for which we are thankful, but something just doesn't sit well with me. I won't eat it.

We feed our dog and have been feeding her Natural Balance dry food and like to mix a little bit of canned together. She has been fine with other flavors, but this and the liver have given her runny bellies. I was looking forward to trying the L.I.D. though I guess it didn't help!

I bought these to try with my dog and im glad I did! I only give him a half of the smaller can as a treat every now and again. It doesn't mess with his allergies, so that's a plus!

I have used this brand before, but not the venison. My 3 dogs just loved it. Added bonus is that it is good for them. This product isn't full of all kinds of fillers. It is good to feed to my fur babies.

I've had my dogs on Natural Balance LID line of wet food for years. Venison is a protein that they can safely tolerate. We've been through several venison shortages & have trouble finding food sometimes but the companies that produce these foods have no control over that. Through the years NB's LID venison wet food has gone through several changes. Most recently, I could swear it's all sweet potato - smells & looks like mashed sweet potato. I checked the ingredient list & saw that venison juice is the second biggest ingredient (the first being sweet potato) & the mystery of the new color & consistency is solved (its now very juicy as well - used to be like a drier pate). My dogs love it still I've had my dogs on Natural Balance LID line of wet food for years. Venison is a protein that they can safely tolerate.

My dogs love it still tho I can't help but feel I'm basically buying canned sweet potatoes. Either way, it's safe for them to eat, the LID food prep process is just as important as the ingredients (designated areas in the factory so there's no cross contamination from other proteins). My dogs aren't picky - they'll eat almost anything - they love sweet potatoes & venison is safe for them so as long as they safely enjoy this, I'll keep ordering! Pro Tip - it's great to load into a Kong Stuff A Ball & freeze - dogs go bananas for that fun & challenging treat activity. … more

My two maltese are very picky eaters, we have tried lots of foods, this is by far their favorite! Like the consistency of it as well, no nasty gravy to get stuck in their beards.

My two dogs are not overly picky eaters when it comes to wet food. In fact, they pretty much like it all. There was a great deal on this food and it looked like a great healthy option. But, neither one would touch it, whether by itself or mixed with dry food. I'll just donate 2.8 cases I have remaining, I suppose, since I don't see a way to return it. I love Chewy.com, my dogs just didn't like this wet food!
