Questions & Answers

37 Customer Questions


Where are the ingredients sourced and where is the food manufactured?

Answer by ChewyMar 14, 2018
This food is manufactured in the USA. The manufacturer will source their high-quality ingredients within the United States depending on availability. However, certain ingredients will need to be outsourced (i,e: Lamb, Venison, Duck, Rabbit, Vitamin Packs, etc.) to ensure top quality and freshness while meeting a reasonable price point for pet parents.

Are any ingredients sourced from China?

Answer by ChewyApr 04, 2022
All of the plants that manufacture the Natural Balance dry formulas, canned formulas, treats, and Platefulls pouches are located in the United States.

Is this large breed kernel size

Answer by ChewySep 15, 2020
This recipe has been formulated for small, medium, and large breed dogs alike.

Answer by ChewyApr 14, 2024

After suffering with allergies for some time now, we decided to change her food to a limited ingredient- grain free option. We wanted something with the fish for the omega 3 and remove chicken altogether, along with barley. We slowly introduced with her old food, and then fully converted. She likes it, it has not caused any digestive issues, and its healthy kibble. We've tried those "human grade" food brands, and they wreaked havoc on her stomach. For now, this will do, as we've also noticed a decrease in her scratching, and her coat is looking better. We're satisfied.

Was searching for a more natural dog food for my dog. After much research, I chose to invest into this brand. Today, I was feeding my dog and found a white piece baked into the kibble. I removed it, couldn’t figure out what if it was something that was soft for consumption. I decided to chew on the white piece, because if I expect my own dog to eat this, I should also be able to eat thing or at least break it down with my teeth? It did not break when I chomped down on my back molars. Was it a bone? Was it plastic?

We switched to this food last year. Didn't think anything of the food when our dog started having seizures a couple weeks later. He went on medication then they got worse in August. We realized in November that rosemary extract can cause seizures in dogs!! I called the company and found out they actually changed their formula over the summer, which is probably why he started having more seizures in August! We cut out this food and all other products that contain rosemary and the seizures stopped!

Lulu does not like the food.iv

We are starting to give something else. We used to give her Hill's Science Diet Salmon for Skin and Stomach, but, Hill's Science Diet changed the formula to Pollack and Fly Insect Protein and she didn't and I didn't care for the change. Why did Hill's Science Diet change? She liked the Salmon version for years. Now they only have Salmon for Puppies and Ages 1-6. ???

Did you change the formula of the dry food. ?

The new bag (same dry food as always) I ordered (he and his mom visit us in Carson City, NV for holidays etc.) had dry food that looked slightly darker than the previous ones. Grover does not love the food. He will eventually eat it, but I wonder if you made a change of some sort in the composition. I can't explain why he is not eager for it and it is slightly darker in color.

Too fiber-rich

If your dog didn’t have issues with pooping too much, this dog food has you covered. Even with the same volume of food that he used to eat of the “duck and potato”

If your dog didn’t have issues with pooping too much, this dog food has you covered. Even with the same volume of food that he used to eat of the “duck and potato” formula, my dog has gone from pooping just once a day to three times if not four times. This isn’t even a joke anymore I have no idea where all this poop is coming from it’s like what it was before just 4 times more. He’s a good, well-trained, housebroken dog too, and I’ve come home to him pooping in the house since he can’t hold it with how much he needs to go all of the time. So very odd, will be switching back to duck and potato, hopefully that formula hasn’t changed.

Maybe it is made for bigger dogs, but the kibble is hard as a rock. I didn't want to take a chance on my dog breaking her teeth. I may pulverize it and use as a topper or give to someone with a bigger dog.

Bags smell stale

I believe Natural Balance changed their formula a while back and their bags smell awful. My girl stopped eating it so I changed to a different Limited Ingredient

I switched from Arcana. It was a terrible experience. Even introducing a little bit mixed into the old food gave my dog diarrhea. I tried introducing a little bit over a week but it did not work. Going back to Arcana. Basically I wasted the whole bag.
