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.

Took 14 total days to arrive, shipper used was not FedEx, sat in NJ for more than a week. I had two orders delivered in the interim. I have never had a complaint with Chewy until now . Hopefully this was a one off.

We bought this as a replacement for the chicken and barely ultra original small bites. There wasn’t a small bite option so we took a chance for our medium sized dog. Not sure if it’s the kibble size or the brown rice but our dog has regurgitated or puked several times. We are trying the checking and sweet potato, hope it’s better. Bummed that the ultra original was discontinued.

Great for dogs with sad tummys

My foster dog came to me bloated and with the worst gas I’d ever seen. Tried various foods but not till this one did anything work. Highly recommend
