Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Dry Dog Food, Lamb & Brown Rice Formula, 26 Pounds

Seldomly write reviews. We have a 3 1/2 year old Wheaten Terrier. Started on Fromm as per recommendation of breeder and eventually changed to Hills Science Diet (sensitive skin and stomach) approx 6 months ago. Wheatens have issues. We would always have to coax her to “eat”. Ran into a teenage female on Indian Mound Park in Pompano Beach, FL who info’d they had a Wheaten for 15 yrs and this was finally the food that was the cure all; another older male confirmed as well by coincidence. Tried this. Today is day 3. First day, did a blend. I know I should have progressed with a gradual, increasing blend but didn’t. Gave her full tilt this stuff yesterday and today. All I can tell you is that in 3 1/2 yrs, she has NEVER ‘asked’ for her food; however, today she did. She gobbled this stuff like it was going on the prohibition list as of tomorrow. It’s obviously still too early to ascertain if some issues will clear up. Two observations: a) she has not been continuously been licking her paws as she was; and b) she appears to look like she has a lot of spunk…this far at least. Again, this is a very preliminary review based on very early observations and should be read and processed accordingly.Regards,me

I don't normally write reviews unless I really like something, and I have no idea how this stuff tastes.. butOur lab showed sensitivity to a lot of proteins and it took us a number of foods before we found one that seemed to work (a different highly rated fish-based food). Protein issues aside, she seemed to be in very good health and we thought the food was great. In the meantime, she had some other health issues. Frequent mucus build up in the corner of her eyes, sensitive skin, and she would spit up a small amount of water once or twice a day (a couple of tablespoons usually). She would much less often, spit up a lot more water. It was always just water though, not food, and not more than one time quickly, not like vomiting. This later issue got us taking her to see the vet. They concluded it was likely stomach acid-related and recommended we give her a little food extra before bed and maybe an antacid. This seemed to lessen the occurrence, but it never fully went away.Now just after turning 2, we went on a vacation she couldn't go on and left her with a relative. Just before leaving we were unable to get her normal food and were forced to find an alternative to get her through the vacation (the food from this review). It was also fished based and we wanted to see if adding grain back in might change anything for the positive. Getting back from the trip, the relative reported very few water regurgitation issues. We thought she was being nice so we didn't feel bad. Shortly after we were able to get her old food back and mixed the two to transition her back to it. Her water issue seemed to be more common again. We hadn't been back long though, so we didn't think anything of it. This time though, she seemed to have the issue almost any time she got up from lying down. Putting 2 and 2 together I concluded maybe the food was the issue. After stopping all other treats and switching to 100% the new food, the water issues went away.now a few months later she is back to getting her normal treats and is just eating the new food. I can't recall the last time she spit up water, I want to say it hasn't happened at all. In addition, her eye mucus issue is gone. She gets some on occasion, but at a level I would consider normal for any dog. I wish we had thought of this before now, it would have been great. needless to say, this is the food we use now and I couldn't imagine ever changing it. Her energy and attitude are unchanged and she is doing great.

dogs love it.

My dog has been on Natural Balance food for years now but tired of the previous flavor. I switched her to this one and she is doing very well on it.

I have a very finicky dog who will only eat this particular flavor of feed. I have tried the other flavors in this brand and he will not eat them. This is very expensive dog feed, smells like fish that has gone off, but keeps well and is liked by my Labrador Retriever. If Buddy didn't like this feed, I would get something else. However, I believe in treating my dog as a member of our family, so his likes and dislike do not go unnoticed. If you have a dog that is picky about his dry feed, try this one. Be warned...your dog might just like it!

My dog has a sensitive tummy. Veterinarian thought the lamb would be better for her.Gradually introduced her to the food, after about a week she started throwing up.I went back to her previous food a d the vomiting stopped .Something in the ingredients didn't agree with her. We are back on Natural Balance L.I. Salmon and sweet potato and she's doing just fine.

My Greatdane has a sensitive stomach and this is the only food I have found he can eat. A little pricey considering my dogs size but he’s worth it

I am very happy with the Natural Balance dog food, our Doberman has allergies to chicken so it makes it hard to find a good food without all the chicken and other additives that are not needed. Buying at amazon with prime shipping free, I save money and receive my food within two days to my door. This would be very helpful for people that are not able to get out a lot.

Item describes 14 pound bag. It is not! It is only 12 pounds. Where are the other 2 pounds? Also, it is "small bites" not normal sized bites.

great product, dogs looks great

Good food wish it came in a larger size bag

No wasted packaging this time. Food was as expected.
