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.

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.

Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions


I see the third ingredient is "lamb meal." What is lamb meal composed of exactly?

Answer by ChewyJun 16, 2018
Lamb meal is ground up lamb meat that has been carefully dried. When meat meals are made, the meat is cooked until all the excess water in the whole muscle meat evaporates, leaving you with highly concentrated protein.

What is the “natural flavor”? Is there chicken fat?

Answer by ChewyAug 01, 2021
Natural flavors are used to create the flavor profiles for Natural Balance formulas. However, information regarding specific natural flavor components is considered proprietary to their recipe. This recipe does not contain chicken.

Where is this product made?

Answer by ChewyApr 15, 2020
This recipe is made in the USA.

Is this puppy food AAFCO certified?

Answer by ChewySep 01, 2022
This formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages including the growth of large size dogs (70 pounds or more as an adult).

Thought would be better

I purchased this lamb and brown rice limited ingredient for my puppy as I transition her from lamb and brown rice puppy formula through Diamond Naturals. Considering they're both lamb and brown rice and the diamond Naturals has tons of added ingredients I was quite surprised that my puppy got extremely soft diarrhea like stool from The Limited ingredient. That was with mixing only less than a quarter with the new food. I am now going to order something else because I can't continue putting my puppy through that. I tried it for 3 days and it wasn't improving it was getting worse. Maybe it's great for others but my Corgi didn't take well to it.

We fed our previous 4 Cavaliers Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Venison, but since I didn't see it as an option, I selected a small bag of Natural Balance Lamb & Brown Rice. He liked the first dish, but then wouldn't eat more. Not sure what he doesn't like about it. Glad I tried a small bag.

puppy loves it!

I wanted a puppy food that was not chicken. Found very few without it but came across this Natural Balance and thought I'd try it. My puppy, who is 6 months old, chows this down just plain. I normally add some canned food as topper for my two adult dogs then mix it all up. They love this kibble just plain old dry. Will keep buying it. It arrives quickly with chewy. A win-win.

Puppy blew his whole undercoat

Our Golden is dealing with food allergies and multiple ear infections. This is one of the few single protein foods on the market and was recommended by our vet

Our Golden is dealing with food allergies and multiple ear infections. This is one of the few single protein foods on the market and was recommended by our vet. We transitioned slowly as required but it caused our puppy to blow his entire undercoat out of season. His coat also became course and straw like. We have switched to Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and stomach and his coat has returned to its normal soft texture.

Our dog suffers from food allergies and would shed like crazy and get ear infections. Since we started him on this food, no issues anymore. He is a 95lb mix, mostly pit bull with German Shepherd. Highly recommend if you’re dog suffers with food allergies!

I fed another brand for years until they changed the formula. After trying several others I found a keeper with this one. Ive fed it to all my puppies and they did very well on it. I just got a new bag and Ive had the likes of a crime scene since. Imagine 6- 5 week old puppies with very soft stool round the clock. I don't think I will add a photo. You're welcome. lol.
