Adult cats: Adult cats should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Green Pea & Chicken Dry Cat Food, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended in the table. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your cat’s needs. If you would like to provide a special treat for your cat, you can add small amounts of Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Chicken & Green Pea Canned Cat Food. Gestating and Lactating Queens: Gestating and lactating queens will consume more food, usually an additional 1/2 - 2 daily. Older cats: As your cat begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for your less active cat. Older cats are sometimes more reluctant to eat hard foods. Adding larger amounts of Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Chicken & Green Pea Canned Cat Food will help the most "finicky" eater enjoy their daily meals.
These feeding guidelines are suggested only. Feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate. Amounts are recommended for an average cat with normal activity.
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 cat’s health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your cat. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
When switching your cat’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® Green Pea & Duck Dry Cat Food. The change should be completed after 5 - 7 days.

Natural Balance LID Duck
By Milo on Jun 4, 2019
This is one of the only foods that keep my cat from getting explosive diarrhea. IBS or food intolerances-I don't know why he gets it. He loves the food and it doesn't make for a normal poop but it makes it much much closer to normal. The only thing I wish is that it would magically stop him from having hairballs but that seems like a lot to ask. haha.

Solved our problems
By bernedoodlenamedcharlie on May 2, 2019
I have a 3 year old cat with a chicken allergy. He would itch the hair right off of his ears at any sign of chicken. I attempted to switch him to a fish based diet but he refused to eat it and was losing weight. After some research I found that a single source of protein may help to avoid any future food allergies and this brand came highly recommended. Thank goodness we tried it because our cat LOVES the duck and has not had an itching problems since the switch. He is even starting to gain weight again.

So far so good.
By Retro on May 6, 2019
My 3 cats recently switched to this dry cat food and seemed to have no problems at all adjusting to the new taste and smaller size pieces. I've only been through one bag though, so there's a chance they might need me to update this review, but hopefully that's not the case! I love the small ingredient list and knowing that my cats aren't eating grains and fillers.

Skin condition improved!
By joanncat1 on Jun 18, 2019
Our Cornish Rex has had itchy bumps behind his ears and over his back. Our vet recommended trying limited protein ingredients, and the Duck and green pea has been the key to clearer skin!

our old cat vomits much less frequently on this diet
By taoseno on Mar 20, 2019
A local vet here in Taos comes to the house to care for our 2 cats. She diagnosed inflammatory bowel syndrome in our 13-year-old female cat, and recommended this food. Since switching some 6 months ago, our older cat is no longer vomiting frequently. For 2 years before that, vets at a conventional office had claimed there was nothing wrong, despite her weight loss, low energy, and frequent vomiting. Both cats love the food, both this dry version and a canned one, which they get only a little of, in the evening. The vet also prescribed a special version of prednisone, but it took 2 tries to find one we could get into her system. Our cat seems to have a better appetite and more energy since A local vet here in Taos comes to the house to care for our 2 cats.

Cats love this food and we love chewy customer service
By Mike on Apr 15, 2019
We buy this for our two cats. One needs the limited ingredients because she has asthma and the other has swallowing issues and this food is the perfect size for her. Some other dry foods that have pieces that are too small and make her cough a lot after eating.

Cat won’t touch it
By Barb on Apr 21, 2019
I heard great things about this food so I got it for my cat and she won’t even touch it. She sniffs it and walks away. She’s not a picky cat so I’m not sure why she won’t eat it or even try it but now we have a bag of food to donate to the shelter...lol.

Cats usually like Natural Balance
By ChickenMeal2ndIngred on Mar 23, 2019
I feed my cats the Natural Balance green pea and duck canned food (they love) and usually the salmon dry food. They seem to like both. This month I tried the duck dry food for the first time. My cats don’t want to eat it, so I picked up another bag of food and am mixing the two together. I’ll go back to the salmon next time.

Not for my pre-diabetic cat
By Kara on Mar 8, 2019
The carb count in this is too high 35% for a diabetic cat age 13. I wasn't aware of this when I purchased Natural Balance until I knew she had to be on a low carb dry food, so I've since changed to Wysong. I think it's really important to make sure the carbs are not too high for any cat who's growing healthy and wants to remain healthy in old age.
