I want to feed my dogs the most nutritious food I can, which is why I'm always reading pet food and treat labels. A habit that drives my husband nuts when we're at the store! I want to know what's in my dog's food and treats, where the ingredients come from, and how it's made. For years now, I've trusted Natural Balance Pet Food®. I've been feeding Icy Natural Balance since I first met them at a pet festival when Icy was a puppy. I really liked what they had to say. I could hear their passion for healthy pets and for high quality natural pet food, in everything they said. I read the labels on their food and treats and liked what I saw. I tried a few samples of food and treats and was delighted with both the quality and how much Icy loved all their products. We've been fans ever since!

Another thing that's really important to me is that you'll NEVER find these ingredients in Natural Balance pet food:
❌ Artificial Flavors
❌ Chemical Preservatives
❌ Soy
❌ Wheat
❌ Corn
❌ By-Product Meals
What's NOT in a pet food is as important as what is in it. I love that Natural Balance says NO to these ingredients!
IT HAS TO BE SAFE!
The best quality pet food has to be made with high quality healthy ingredients, has to be delicious, and absolutely must be SAFE. I'm very careful about what I feed my dogs. I have to feel confident that any food or treats I give them will always be safe for them to eat. There's nothing more important to me than the health & safety of my pets!

We love Natural Balance's quality and commitment to pets. It is so important with so many recalls these days. I trust NB ♥
Oh, it's so yummy! We love all the flavors, actually.
I fully agree! I've trusted them for years and Icy loves all their products & flavors, she never met a NB product she didn't LOVE!
Great information! We like the NB treats!
Natural Balance is such great food! We definitely trust NB!
I really love that they go the extra mile when it comes to safety. Testing every batch is AMAZING! Also, love that they don't use any of the by-product meals.
Quality nutritious food is so important to maintaining good health. This applies to both people and our pets. I wish I knew then what I know nowadays.

I really respect the Natural Balance commitment to safety and good ingredients. Love the sound of those meats and veggies. You are right that it is just as important what is not in the food and treats. Kilo has tried and enjoyed one type of their food. Will keep it in mind next time we switch.
My pets love Natural Balance pet food and I like their safety testing and guarantee!
This is one heck of a good post. People worry about their dog's food as much as their budget will allow so have info. like this can make a real difference.
we just make our food fresh. Can't fly with dog food so ... not an option anyway!
What a great shot of Icy and that ball. Food is so important, it's the cornerstone of good health. I'm glad Icy is doing well with her food.
Natural Balance makes some great pet foods! My kitties have enjoyed the foods they have tried from them. I love that they give customers so much information about the quality of the food in each bag/can.

We've been hearing a lot about Natural Balance foods lately. Perhaps we need to give them a try! It sounds like they've got some great options out there, which is awesome when so many foods on the market these days are full of crap!
I've tried new proteins with the girls lately with their cat food. They like some, but will totally ignore others.
Thanks Nichole! We love all their food & treats. Our favorite treats are the Salmon & Legume belly bites!
It totally is! I love all the ingredients they use. We like the Limited Ingredients (LID) food and the food rolls best.
Oh me too! Safety is number one for sure, and we don't really like by-products much. There are different grades of by-products, but I'd just as soon not have them in their food.
You're so right! I wish I knew years ago what I know now about both pet food and people food! We are what we eat, like they say.
I love that they do a lot of safety testing, there have been a lot of recalls out there in the last couple of years and that scares me! I trust Natural Balance and I love all the great ingredients. Icy loves pretty much every food and treat they make!
I'm so glad your pets love Natural Balance too! I love the safety testing as well, it's just good peace of mind.
Thank you, I'm so glad you think so! Yes, many people do try to get the best pet food their budget can buy.
I didn't know you can't fly with packaged dog food? That would be a big issue for us! You're lucky you can get healthy ingredients & have the ability to cook your own pet food on a regular basis while you travel!
Oh thank you, I was so proud of that shot! I tried really hard to get a good action shot of her and this was my fave. True, food is so important for pets as well as people - like they say, We Are What We Eat! My dogs actually eat better than I do, I cannot for the life of me stay away from sweets!
Yes, they sure do Robin! I'm so glad Manna and Dexter enjoy Natural Balance too, Icy goes wild for all their food & treats. I love their transparency too, it shows they have total confidence in their products.
You should definitely try Natural Balance. You're right, there are so many foods that are totally full of unhealthy ingredients. I love the ingredients and the safety testing Natural Balance does.
Truffle & Brulee are very discriminating kitties! It's important to find a quality food that also appeals to a pet's taste buds. What's the point if they hate it and will only eat it when they're starving!
