Q: Do you feed your dog Natural Balance dog food?
If so STOP RIGHT NOW and get you dog to a vet we have lost two dogs and it is all because of the food vets at Texas A&M did an autopsy on one of the dogs and they found it was the food that caused the deaths. Natural Balance dog food was added to the list yesterday.

A: lol they are more of a natural feeding group so there is a chance it was the game animal used in it.

What in it caused the death? Your vet could be like some I have seen claiming that even Innova was added to the list.

Thanks though. It was a side food I fed.

EDIT: Ok so I got this from the site.

NOTICE:
We are receiving consumer complaints regarding the Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods. We do not know what is wrong with the food at this time, but we have heard that animals are vomiting and experiencing kidney problems. Although the problems seem to be focused on one particular lot, as a precautionary measure, we are pulling all dates of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food from the shelves.

Please discontinue feeding all Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison and Green Pea Dry Cat Food.

We are working closely with the FDA.
We will update this website today, as more information comes available.

NO OTHER NATURAL BALANCE PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED.

So maybe it is the fish (or w/e venison is) that was infected

Q: Do you feed and like Natural Balance dog food?
I was looking at Natural Balance dog food it looks pretty good.
Does anyone use it if so which flavor?
Do you like it ok?
I also feed Royal Canin and she loves it I tried Canidae but she didn’t like it so I went back to Royal Canin.I am thinking of feeding the Natural Balance wanted to see what others say about it also..

A: Its too expensive for me. I used to use the Venison and Rice until the poison (melamine) scare last year. Natural balance made a deadly mistake while trying to cut costs. While trying to add new ingredients that artificially made the protein % appear higher they suspected they had poisoned some dogs. They made an immediate recall of all food contaminated, and reformulated several of their foods.
They are safe, but you can buy better foods for less money. Unless you “NEED” a single source protein food for a dog with allergies- I would find something else.
I switched to Cadidae All Life Stages. It too has been recently reformulated, but it is still a real good food for about $1.25 per pound in a large bag.

Q: Which dog food brand is better, Wellness or Natural Balance?
Hi Everyone, I work in a pet shop, and each month I get a free bag of either Wellness or Natural Balance dog food. I was wondering which brand you think is better quality for my Dachshund/Beagle mix. And if you could please tell me which flavor/type is the best of either brand. Thank You!!

A: Our breeder sent our Dachshund puppy home to us with a bag of Eukanuba puppy food. Our vet and puppy trainer both commented it was the best. We have recently changed to the Eukanuba Dachshund food since he is 9 months old now.

That is good enough for me.

Q: Is Natural Balance good dog food?
I am thinking about switching my dogs food again. I tried it once with Merrick and she got bad diarrhea from it so I stopped using it, but she does still like the merrick sausages. So I was reading people reviews about natural balance dog food and they all love it and also love the natural balance rolls. Does any of yous feed it or have good comments about it. I did read this one thing about how it was tainted the venison and brown rice dog food but it was from like 2 years ago. Thanks to everyone!

A: Yes, NB is one of many good dog foods.

Choosing a brand of dog food can be such a headache! Do go to the dog food analysis site someone else mentioned.

Over the years I have fed so many brands! Eagle Pack Holistic, Chicken Soup, Wellness Fish and Potato, Innova, Evo, Solid Gold, Honest Kitchen, Canidae, Premium Edge…..and our prior dogs did quite well on all.

My current dog came down with colitis and long story short, after diddling around for around 8 months I chose NB Duck and Potato (novel protein, novel carb and has least number of ingredients) and she has done extremely well on it.

Every dog is a bit different

Q: Natural Balance dog food, & Canidae?
Hi, I’m looking to switch my dog’s food brand sometime in the near future. I’ve been looking at a few different brands. Natural Balance food is a little cheaper than Canidae, but I have also heard that Canidae is a little higher quality food.?

I guess my question is, have you fed your dogs either of these foods, and how do they work for you? Also, wondering about opinions on whether the Canidae is worth the extra money or if either would be fine?

Thank you.

A: I have a Brittany and I have fed her both Canidae and Natural Balance. She seemed to like the flavor of Natural Balance better however Canidae made her coat look wonderfull. I feed her Solid Gold now and am much happier with that than either Natural Balance or Canidae. It is a little more expensive but in my opinion well worth the money. Her coat looks much better even when she was on Canidae. We struggled to keep her wieght down for a while but when i put her on solid god she has lost about 7 pounds. She also loves the flavor. So if you are looking for a more holstic or more natural food you might consider Solid gold if it is available to you. Other than that i would rather give my dog Canidae than Natural Balance. Good luck!

Q: Natural balance dry dog food?
Is this good dog food? I think I bought the original Natural balance dog food with Chicken in it. I wanted to try and feed my dog “healthy food with no fillers” for once to see if they like it, but they don’t seem to like it. When I feed them Purina dog chow, they seem to like that more. I guess my dogs like the cheap stuff because it taste better like some people who like fast food better than expensive/fancy food.

A: Natural Balance is an excellent food. Try it.
My dogs like Canidae and I have picky eaters. They also like Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul, another good food.

Q: We have an older dog that is on Natural Balance Dog Food Rolls Lamb Formula?
What do you think of it? He is an older dog that is have tummy problem with vomiting. Can I had water and dog food to this product? When you are cutting the tub VERY thick it like cutting meat. Please pass on as much info as you can. I am just wanting my do to get better….

A: A senior dog should be on a senior dog food, plus glucosamine/chondroitin. Talk to your vet about a good choice. I feed Pro Plan Senior

Q: CANADIAN DOG LOVERS- Did NATURAL BALANCE DOG FOOD REALLY GET RECALLED OVER THERE?
Somebody told me that (AUSTRALIAN-MADE) NATURAL BALANCE dog food was recalled there. Is this true?
DRY food (kibble)
DRY food (kibble)

A: only the wet food (canned) the dry is ok.

Q: is Natural Balance dog food on the recall list.?
Does anyone know what Natural Balance prouds were recalled and if not many is it a good brand of dog food for mixed dogs? Also does anyone give their doggies the Natural Balance dog food rolls? I have been told dogs like them and that Natural Balance is good on them.

A: It was all recalled, but the stuff on the shelves now is okay

Q: How long do Natural Balance dog food rolls last?
After opening the package and kept refrigerated.

A: I’ve kept Natural Balance Roll in a sealed zip-lock in the fridge for a month with no problem. It also freezes very well. Sometimes I buy the big roll, use 1/3 & freeze the rest in 1/3 parts. I’ve kept it in the freezer for 2-3 months.

Q: Cheapest place to get Natural Balance dog food?
anyone feed their dog natural balance? where is cheapest place? Im currently paying $50 for the 28lb bag…
Im not going to wal mart and buying ole roy dog food…if you feed crappy food it shows through their coat and nails…my doberman is very well taken care of so ill just keep feeding natural balance
every petsmart ive seen doesnt carry natural balance…..

A: I find that the locally owned (independent) feed/supply stores have more reasonable prices. In my area, they generally run about $1 or $2 less per bag than Petsmart. That adds up! In my experience, I’ve always had better service at the smaller stores, and have encountered more knowledgeable staff.

Good luck!

ADD: Here is the “store locator” from their website. Just follow the drop-downs and find the stores in your area, then call around for prices.

Q: Which is the better dog food: Natural Balance or Wellness?
I use to feed my puppy Wellness when I first got her. Then I switched her to Natural Balance Organics. I have noticed that she eats my parents dogs Wellness Super5mix food. I don’t like switching her food so much but I guess I don’t know which is better.. probably whatever she likes I imagine… hard to know what she likes!

Anyone know the difference between the two brands?

A: Both are premium dog foods. If both are available to you and your dog does well on both, switch back and forth. It’s an old wife’s tail that dogs should only eat one brand of dog food forever. Most dogs do best if they are switched to a couple or more premium dog foods. No dog food is complete in all the amino acids and nutrients your dog needs. So, to be sure he is getting everything feed a few different foods.
I feed Canidae, Wellness, Innova. I’ll buy the large bag, which lasts a month and then switch to the next and the next and then back to the first, or I’ll try a 4th just for variety. My dogs never get sick and one is 16, the other 12, and the 3rd 6.

Q: Is Natural Balance Dog Food high quality dog food?
Would you feed it to your dog? I know it says ultra premium but of course all types of dog food say their brand is the best.

A: ~ Its a good food, much better than some of them. I think the main concern I would have is there is not a high meat content in this food. Also the calories per cup is lower than some I use and so you have to feed more which plays into the cost per dog. Overall it is definitely not a bad food. Also, they don’t do any laboratory testing on animals!!

Q: Where is Natural Balance dog food made?
It used to say MADE IN USA on the package but no longer does. I also noticed they removed all claims that it was made in the United States from their web site.

A: I just looked all over their website and couldn’t find the answer. I’d call them or email them and ask!

It sounds as though they have changed manufacturing plants, and may have even outsourced their processing and packaging to so me other company. I’d be careful with that new package–it’s probably a new formula as well!

Q: Natural Balance-dog food?
I`m giving my miniature schnauzer aged 1 and a half year new dog food,natural balance the fish and sweet potato diet.It`s a very new brand to me but I heard it`s a good brand and it doesn’t contain grain. Anyone know about this brand?

A: it’s actually manufactured by the same company as diamond pet foods. diamond was involved in the BIG pet food recall a few years ago. so, i stay away from anything manufactured by them including canidae, taste of the wild, chicken soup, and others! i’m switching by dog from canidae to innova now. i would trust anything made by natura pet foods (http://www.naturapet.com). evo is grain free. wellness is also a good dog food and the wellness core is grain free. they are more expensive, but much more digestible (because they have no fillers or by-products) so the dog eats less and they’ll also be less waste!
