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.

Veterinarians Recommend Natural Balance

Finally found a brand my dog loves

So far this has been one of the best dog food for my dog, she battles with allergies and learning poultry being one of causes of her break outs. It was challenging

So far this has been one of the best dog food for my dog, she battles with allergies and learning poultry being one of causes of her break outs. It was challenging . My dogs was raised with cats and she loves their food and if you know dog food is made bigger in kibble , so this made it challenging but this brand for small dogs has the perfect size not only does she eat she asks for more.

The kibble is smaller than I expected.

I didn't realize the kibble would be so tiny. The previous bag (which I thought was the same kind) had kibble 4 times as big. I like him to chew rather than inhale

I didn't realize the kibble would be so tiny. The previous bag (which I thought was the same kind) had kibble 4 times as big. I like him to chew rather than inhale his food. Can't donate an open bag of food. :( So I'm trying to use it up, but the weight of the bag matches his weight.

Susie and Sookie up set tummy

I do not taste the food personally so I take Susie and Sookie's personal options about their food. This is not a winner. We will go back to their old food Halo

Perfect sized kibble

I was looking for another beef limited diet besides Koha (yay, Chewy carries it now!) Perfect sized kibble for my smaller foster pup, but unfortunately this formula

No more tears

So glad to find something for my Biewer Terrier that doesn’t have chicken and has a good balance of added nutrients. She likes it so much that we use it as reward
