Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

Formulated for Ingredient Sensitivities

Developed with veterinary and nutrition experts, Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Vegetarian recipes are made with plant-based sources of protein to help dogs with food sensitivities avoid specific ingredients.

Why Plant-Based Protein?

The #1 most common ingredient sensitivity is animal protein, so these complete and balanced Limited Ingredient Vegetarian recipes feature plant-based protein and a superfood blend of oatmeal, flaxseed, spinach and cranberries.

Supports Skin, Stomach & Heart Health

Balanced omega-3 & 6 fatty acids help support healthy skin and a shiny coat. Brown rice, potatoes and oatmeal provide a healthy fiber blend to support your dog’s healthy digestion. Made with added taurine to support a strong heart.

Veterinarians Recommend Natural Balance

Natural Balance Limited Ingredient helps dogs with ingredient sensitivities live happy, healthy lives. For over 30 years, they have crafted recipes without compromise—no corn, wheat, or soy ingredients—to provide your dog with high-quality nutrition.

About Natural Balance

Excellent Dog Food

I have a 6 year old chihuahua/Yorkie mix. She has been on a high quality chicken kibble since 6 mos. old, but the older she has gotten, the more she licked her paws ....sometimes aggressively. So, I decided to try this vegetarian high quality food. I switched her "cold turkey" & she loved the food the first time she ate it. She's doing so much better on her new kibble. Thank you Natural Balance.

Our girl is allergic to ALL animal protein, so it’s been a challenge to find a quality dog food for her. Out of all the other vegetarian dog food (we tried at least 5 brands) she does best on this one. She really likes this food and as a bonus has perfect BM’s !

I contacted chewy to help me while on vacation so my dog food would not arrive while I was gone. The rep canceled my order and placed a new order for me to arrive later, but the rep did not replicate my order; I was charged for and received 3 bags of food instead of my normal autoship order of 2 bags.

Bag doesn’t seal shut.

Very inconvenient that bag doesn’t seal shut to keep kibble fresh and dry. Other companies provide sealable bags. This one doesn’t. It ends up being a negative in

Very inconvenient that bag doesn’t seal shut to keep kibble fresh and dry. Other companies provide sealable bags. This one doesn’t. It ends up being a negative in my book. Otherwise, small size bits for a little pup. Glad to find a vegetarian food though I know there are others, which I’ll try when the time comes.

Great for allergic dog

My dog is allergic to all fish and fish oils. This is the only kibble that has algae oil in it. My dog is doing fantastic on this. No more skin allergy issue
