Highly Satisfied
By mollys on Jan 28, 2021
We adopted our kitten from the Animal Alliance and they feed this dry food to their cats. I researched and found it to be a good food so I bought a bag. Our two cats both love it. When we took the cats to the vet, they stressed the importance of feeding a quality food. When I told them I feed Natural Balance, they were happy. I like that the kitties are healthy and have healthy, shiny coats and they like the flavor.

Good Health Comes from Inside Out
By VirtualZoo on Feb 10, 2021
My cats go nuts over this food! I have 3 cats and all of them love it. If you look at the ingredient list, you can tell by the first five ingredients that this is healthy stuff. It has given my cats the softest coats of any food fed in almost 30 years of having cats. If they're healthy on the insides, it shows on the outside!

Great food
By connimari7 on Jan 16, 2021 Top 250 Contributor
I am feeding this again, not sure why I had switched in the past and my kitties from 2months to 10 years old all love it! They’re doing great, shiny coats and no stinky poops or diarrhea. I am going to stay with this and hopefully it won’t be changed or discontinued.

Go to for my cat
By claire on Jun 18, 2020
I've been feeding my cat this food for years now, I am not a cat food expert but he seems healthy on it and has a good coat. The price is good and he has always liked it. Recently had blood work at 7 y. o. and it was good. Overall recommended. Strays go nuts over it too. My cat is juuuuust a little chunky but since he's indoor outdoor I have sort of let him eat his fill, since I'd rather he be satiated when he goes outside.

Natural Balance
By Earl on Jun 19, 2020
It is not easy to write reviews;at least for me, my two are eaters as long as you give them what they want! This was a new one and fed them a little every other day so they could get use to change. Since they can not write this review I am tasked with giving it my best shot. They ate,but not with great gusto. I am ordering another bag,because I feel it is a good blend of eats for them Pat

Love this Brand
By Lisa on Apr 9, 2020
I have my dogs on this brand of food because the fish flavor is the only food out there that doesn't cause their crazy skin allergies to flare up! Same with the fish biscuits. Wish they made their soft treats in that flavor actually. Anyways, my cat is old and is on steroids daily to live because a lobe of his lungs shut down due to severe asthma about a year ago. Because of this, I just had him on a cheaper purina he liked because the vet said in his case it wasn't going to do much to spend the money on a high end brand, might as well let him eat what he likes. With this stupid pandemic all Purina was sol out when i went to check on my next autoship so I looked into cat food in this brand and I have my dogs on this brand of food because the fish flavor is the only food out there that doesn't cause their crazy skin allergies to flare up!

With this stupid pandemic all Purina was sol out when i went to check on my next autoship so I looked into cat food in this brand and saw this not only in stock but on SALE! for the same price about as the Purina and heavier in pounds! I was ecstatic! He actually seems to enjoy it too! The only downfall is the pieces are extremely tiny! Normally I like smaller pieces for him because he seems to like that better, but these are like really small lol so he has a hard time eating what's at the bottom of the bowl. Would definitely purchase again though depending on the price when not on sale! … more

Bigger Kibble for less choking, cat loves it
By Tucker on May 18, 2020
First time with this formula, usually use another brand with same protein structure but harder to find. With stay at home, thought to try this and seems to be another produce line that I can now trust. I really like the kibble size so much better. Cat didn't think twice about going for it even though it was different.

Cats know what they like...
By Brenda on Apr 29, 2020
I recently ran out of my 3 year old cat’s food. I went to a local pet store and purchased a small bag of Natural Balance food. It evidently was not the same. He pouted and barely ate his dry food. Once his Chewey bax came I opened his bag of food. I guess he could smell it and he ate until his bowl was empty. Many thanks to Chewey employees for getting my order to me with all the world us going through.

Did not go over well
By Notyet on Apr 10, 2020
Unfortunately this did not go over very well. My cats ended up vomiting all over from this product. Which is very strange to me. But, this was the only change. Adding this food to their other food. Since I stopped feeding this food they have returned to not vomiting!
