His partners and Dick started Natural Balance® Pet Foods in 1989 with the intention of developing the finest, healthiest pet food on the market. They wanted a pet food based on sound scientific principles and truth, not marketing hype. They did it! Not only for dogs & cats, but for large carnivores, such as lions, tigers, polar bears, and wolves in zoos and animal reserves worldwide!
Natural Balance® Pet Food is the finest food you can buy for your pet, and no matter which of our products you use, you can be assured that it is truly The Food For a Lifetime™.

Today, all Natural Balance® products are used and respected worldwide by top trainers, breeders, veterinarians, kennels, and caring pet owners who want the best for their animals. They hope you have noticed that their Natural Balance® has given you and your pet not just many "varieties" but many "categories" of food and treats to meet you and your companion animal's needs. They know that one type of food won't work for all animals, so they keep working to give you the best possible choices in every category. They want to make available to you The Food For a Lifetime™ so that you know that your pet is getting the best food, no matter which Natural Balance® Pet Food you choose.
Natural Balance® was built on the premise of helping animals, and they have never nor would they ever allow any testing that would be considered harmful to an animal. They do not conduct laboratory testing on animals, whatsoever. All of their feeding trials are conducted in the animal's own environment, in conjunction with veterinarians, kennels, breeders and pet owners, to ensure that all Natural Balance® products are extremely palatable, nutritious and the best possible formulation for the health of your pet. Their feeding trials are a positive experience and enjoyable for animals!

Our Vegetarian Formula combines special non-meat proteins along with effective natural ingredients to help rebuild the dog's immune system.

Note: These feeding guidelines are suggested only, feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate.
We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. When switching your dog's diet, the change should be made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Vegetarian Formula. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
The Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended in the Table.

The Older Dog As your dog begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for less active dog.

I am so pleased to have discovered Natural Balance vegetarian formula. I give it to my dog mixed with the bison and sweet potato formula. Together, they keep my dog healthy, and I do not contribute to the cruelty of factory farming of animals.

My companions never felt better!
3. Johnnye on 5/27/2010, said:
It's taking my dog longer to adjust to this new food than she usually does when just changing brands. I'm still putting a few pieces of regular kibble (till it runs out, which it nearly is all gone)in with the new veggie formula because she's having looser stools. I'm confident her digestive system will adjust to the new veggie formula. She seems to like the taste okay, but doesn't act overjoyed by it. I'm hoping that by the time her old formula is completely gone and she's 100% on the veggie formula, she will both like it a lot and her tummy will be accustomed to more fiber. It's a major change, but a necessary one.

It's the perfect blend for our Berneise Mountain Dog. He loves it and it keeps his weight down when he doesn't get enough exercise because of the heat.
Also the free shipping and quick delivery are great too. Thanks
