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® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice 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.

My German Shepherd Dog had been on California Natural Lamb Meal and Brown Rice for most of his adult life (he's now 7) when the company went out of business. I started looking frantically for a company that manufactured a similar recipe and this food was closest in content and price. My German Shepherd, if anything, is doing even better on this formula than on the California Natural. He carries perfect weight, his coat is glossier and in better condition and his poops are regular and perfect. Hopefully, Natural Balance won't mess things up by changing the formula.

We first got this brand for our first dog that had serious food allergies (chicken). I reviewed multiple brands including blue Buffalo and this one just seemed the best. He was able to eat it without any issues, gastric or otherwise. Our current beast is always enthusiastic to get a bowl full (granted he's excited about any food) and we haven't had any issues from him yet... well, gastric at least.

I love Natural Balance products. I have fed my little Shih/Tzu, Gus, their Lamb Meal and Brown Rice Formula dry dog food since I received him from a rescue group 9 years ago. I have recently supplemented his diet with the same formula in canned food. And I buy their treats. He thrives on them all. A friend recently introduced me to Chewy and I am so happy to be able to place an order and have it delivered to my front door. Great service.

Our vet said I Dog was overweight and was on a “McDonalds” fat diet. So we chose this perfect dog food with Lamb and Rice with limited ingredients for her health. It’s wirking beautifully and she loves it. It’s smaller pieces and natural ingredients without corn or cornmeal and added ingredients are just what she needs.

But then again, she's a German Shepherd, so she always acts like she's starving. I bought this because it's a little cheaper than the AvoDerm I was feeding them, but now I have to feed my dogs separately because the shepherd eats all hers and then kicks our other dog out of the way and eats the rest of hers, too!

My dog has had digestive issues since I adopted him, and the limited ingredients really seem to help. He actually likes this dog food and seems excited to eat it. Fingers crossed the brown rice formula helps to mitigate any digestive distress in the future.

My dog has numerous food allergies and I've been feeding her Natural Balance LID foods for over 8 years. I've purchased all the different flavors save the one or two she's allergic to and she hasn't had an allergic reaction to the ingredients.

My vet has prescribed the Lamb and brown rice for my dog and it's worked out very well. I did received in the mail a 15.00 coupon to apply to purchase which was very nice, plus shipping was free and ahead of time. Thank you Chewy

Slow process as he isn't used to being on a Limited Ingredient Diet dog food due to being recently diagnosed by the vet as allergic to chicken beef venison and bison. He does fine every now and again with some Swanson's 100 % Veggie Broth mixed in it and given some time to soak to help entice, interest or encourage him to eat it when he starts getting aversions. He is almost finished with his Probiotic Prescription from the vet, too. It's been a rough start but, I think we are getting him back on track. Now it's just a matter of addressing his recent diagnosis of stress induced anxiety or aka Emotional Stress issues (trapped emotions).
