Natural Balance Limited Ingredient, Dog Food, Salmon & Sweet Potato, 4 lb

I have been feeding my dog Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Fish since he was a puppy, and it has been a consistent winner for almost 13 years now. Early on, we discovered he had a poultry allergy, which made finding a food he would actually eat a real challenge. This formula was a lifesaver. Not only did he love the taste, but it also agreed with his sensitive stomach. When he was a puppy, we started with the easy-to-eat bites (Natural Balance makes a puppy version of this), which made transitioning to the adult version of this food simple. As he grew, we moved him to the adult kibble, and he has continued to enjoy it without any issues. Over the years, I’ve noticed he maintains healthy energy levels, a shiny coat, and good digestion, all signs that this food really works for him. It’s also convenient because it’s easy to store, measure, and feed, making mealtime simple. I’ve tried other brands, but nothing compares to how reliably he enjoys this food and how well it suits his needs. For any dog with sensitivities or just a picky eater, this is a fantastic option. Five stars without a doubt. It has been a staple in our household for over a decade and we couldn’t be happier with it.

I’ve been really happy with this Natural Balance Limited Ingredient dog food. One of my dogs has sensitive skin, and this formula has worked well for him. The limited ingredient formula is a big reason I chose it because it’s nice to know exactly what they’re eating without a lot of unnecessary fillers. The ingredients seem high quality and the kibble size is good. Both of my dogs eat it without any issues and seem to enjoy the flavor. I’ve also noticed their coats look healthy and they tolerate this food well. Overall this has been a great option for dogs with sensitivities, and I like that the ingredient list is simple and easy to understand.

When my large older dog who's a terrier breed was diagnosed with early signs of possible kidney issues and elevated protein levels showing in his urine, I knew it was the right time for me to consider making changes in the type of dog food I was currently feeding him. The question posed before me was which brand to choose as a substitute. My dog always had allergies to chicken including wheat and soy which is why I always in the past purchased a grain free dog food anyhow. Natural Balance fortunately still met those same requirements and it also doesn't irritate his stomach which is a common problem occurrence when you feed a senior pet. I especially like the fact that this formula is also lower in protein at 24% compared to his previous brand of dog food which was rated at 35% or even higher. Typically, anything going over 30% could be considered a high protein dog food. A level of 24% is only considered moderate and a considerable reduction even by my vet's strict standards. I've also read somewhere how sometimes giving your dog peas in their diet can also upset their stomach and I was happy to see that peas are not listed in the product ingredients anywhere. Finally, I needed to choose a dog food that has a lower level of phosphorus per serving to possibly help his kidney function and surprisingly many other brands don't even list the phosphorus level which for me was a bit concerning. That's why I'm so glad the the Limited Ingredients version sold here by Natural Balance has a phosphorus level of only .60 min. Very few brands if any out there in the marketplace appear to list phosphorus levels on their bags as being any lower. Trust me I cross- checked dozens of other major brands and I couldn't find any. Last of all, my dog really loves the taste of this Salmon formula and it doesn't leave him with a fishy breath smell afterwards like other brands sometimes have a tendency to do so. Some reviewers expressed concerns about their dog's stools being somewhat darker or even firmer. That's a typical characteristic of most grain free dog foods and my vet assured me that it wasn't anything I should be overly concerned about. This is the second bag here at Amazon that I've bought just recently and I highly recommend it. I couldn't be any happier and I wish all dogs Happy Tails and Bone Appetit.

My dog really loves this flavor. He gets excited every time it's mealtime and always enjoys eating it. It's great to find a food that he likes so much, and I would definitely consider buying it again.

The item appears to be okay, although there is a hole in the bag. It was not in a box this time. Looks like it might have been run over.

Our dog loves this food. It is perfect for his food sensitivities and he seems to love the taste!

We have a Shiba Inu. The breed is prone to chicken allergies. She ended up in the hospital after eating a food with chicken. We tried this salmon based food, and she has eaten it for 6 weeks. This limited ingredient food containing fish and no grains has been an amazing transformation for her. No more stomach issues at all, and an added bonus is that her fur has become incredibly soft and shedding is not as bad as this same time last year!

I switched to this brand on April 2026 and my GSD was doing fine, after finished the 1st bag, I bought the 2nd bag on May 15 2026, my dog started to get diarrhea. I continue to give him for 4 days since I was not sure if he picked up something during walk but no. this bag of dog food gave him the diarrhea. I don't know why if they change the ingredients or this batch were contaminated. Natural Balance needs to do better on their quality control. I have to throw away the food what a waste of money. This brand can't be trust!!
