Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions


Is this suitable for large breed puppies?

Answer by ChewyApr 02, 2020
This variety is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages including growth of large size dogs (70 pounds or more as an adult).

Carb percentage?

Answer by ChewyMar 08, 2021
This recipe contains 45.77% Carbohydrates on an as fed basis and 49.45% Carbohydrates on a dry matter basis. These values are based on their typical (average) analysis of the product, so natural variations can and do occur.

Why are they in the shape of a cheerio? Is it so that the pups don't choke?

Answer by ChewyOct 12, 2020
This kibble size and shape is specifically formulated for puppies in mind.

How big are the kibbles? My puppy can’t eat anything that’s bigger than eukanuba small breed puppy food kibble.

Answer by ChewyMay 08, 2020
Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Salmon & Brown Rice Puppy Formula Dry Dog Food's kibbles are similar in size and shape to a piece of cheerio cereal. However, Natural Balance formulas vary in moisture content from batch to batch which can cause a difference in density and diameter of the individual kibble. This variation can be caused by the cooking process as well as the natural moisture variation in the ingredients.

Great food BUT...

Any food dry or canned by Natural Balance is top quality. But I think I am going back to the Chicken because both of my dogs like it.

My puppy had liquid poop and diarrhea everyday for the past 2 weeks on this recipe. Even though we gradually changed the food. We had fed her Lamb and Brown Rice before and it was fine. Please beware and only get the small bag for your pup to try out before committing to it.

Our new Bichon puppy has doubled in size after eating this for two weeks. The breeder that we purchased her from recommended this mixed with the wet salmon and sweet potato made by the same company. They said it would help with tear stains. It has helped with that and puppy is healthy and happy!
