Formulated for Ingredient Sensitivities 

Developed with veterinary and nutrition experts, each Natural Balance Limited Ingredient recipe is made with a single animal protein source and limited carbohydrates to help dogs with food sensitivities avoid specific ingredients.

Why Single Animal Protein?

The #1 most common ingredient sensitivity is protein, so these recipes feature real meat, fish or poultry as the #1 ingredient and a single source of animal protein. Explore a variety of Natural Balance offerings to help feed a single animal protein diet.

Helps Support Skin & Stomach Health

All Natural Balance Limited Ingredient recipes feature balanced omega-3 & 6 fatty acids to help support healthy skin and a shiny coat. Plus, brown rice or sweet potatoes provide a healthy fiber blend to support your dog’s healthy digestion.

Veterinarians Recommend Natural Balance

Perhaps the most palatable food that my dog will eat from Natural Balance. She readily eats this most often without persuasion. I almost dropped a star because it's more expensive and you get 2lb's less than the non-reserve limited ingredient flavors, but the quality is there and it's hard to find comparable dog food! I will be including this food in the regular rotation of kibble.

Good Ingredients

I have been searching for a while to find a dog food for my babies that did not have something they were sensitive to. This fit the bill...AND they love it.

Limited ingredients with single novel protein great for allergies

My senior dog has only been on this for 2 weeks so we'll see how it goes long term. He's has some skin issues with chicken and fish based food so we are trying this

My senior dog has only been on this for 2 weeks so we'll see how it goes long term. He's has some skin issues with chicken and fish based food so we are trying this out to see if the protein change makes a difference. The food has really good ingredients and is within the nutrition perimeters for senior dog nutrition. I wish it had some pre/probiotics in it but I can order those from chewy later.

She loves it and looks and feel so good. My vet asked me what she was eating. He was going to recommend it to other patients.

It isn't the food in guess, but tyson won't touch it, or the blue duck and potatoes can food. He was on hills perscription zd that the vet prescribed but the formula was changed and tyson has a very bad reaction to it. I am now trying to find something he can eat, but I am not figuring it out.

Mold!

I was wondering why my dog wasn't eating. Today while scooping a cup of food from the bag I realized the food in the middle of the bag was moldy.
