Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Adult Grain-Free Dry Cat Food, Salmon & Green Pea Recipe, 10 Pound (Pack of 1)

This review is for the green pea and salmon formula.I have a 10-month-old kitten. I just got him last month from a rescue group. I started him out on a different food and he kept scratching the same place under his eye. I've had lots of pets with allergies and food sensitivities in the past (so I know what to look for), and there wasn't anything wrong with his eye, itself, so I suspected a food problem and decided to switch him to something else.His past food was a different brand and was a chicken and rice formula. Not being sure what was causing his issues, I wanted a food with neither chicken nor rice. (In general, I don't think cats should be fed grain anyway, so I was happy to be switching him to something grain free. He was only on the rice food because I got a free bag from the rescue group. I had previously tried to get him to eat wet food and he wouldn't touch it. So kibble it had to be.) It is actually quite difficult to find a dry cat food without any chicken in it, but I came across this.I have past experience with Natural Balance foods for cats with digestive and allergy issues and they've generally been quite positive, so between that experience with the brand and looking at the ingredients list, I went with this and slowly mixed it in to his old food over the course of a week or two.First things first. The cat eats it. He likes it. Sometimes my other cats get to his bowl and they like it too...in fact, they emptied it this morning.Secondly, it is not giving the cat I feed it to any digestive issues. He seems to process it quite well. His fur looks nice, his eyes look nice, and he has a lot of energy. So I feel he is getting appropriate nutrition. He has gained a little weight (0.25 pounds only) but he is not quite through growing yet, so this seems adequate for supporting growth in an older kitten. (The bag claims it is good for all life stages. I haven't had a very young kitten for a long time so I can't speak directly to that.)And, most importantly, now that he has been on this food exclusively for a little while now, he has stopped scratching under his eye and it is healing up.Other items of interest: this has a fishy smell when you open the bag but that dissipates after the bag is open. Also, the bag does not appear to be resealable so you may want a clip or a separate storage container for it. (I have the 5 pound bag. I don't know how the larger bags are but since this trial was a success, I'll go up to a larger bag for next time.)

My cat loves this food and she's not allergic to it. No chicken ingredients. Her fur grew back on her stomach finally after YEARS of trial and error with other food brands.

Now I’m not a vet, I can’t really say what these ingredients are or what they’ll do for you cat. But for my cat who developed a late in life chicken allergy, this food has been life changing, as it has no chicken in it! (My vet did approve this food for my cat)No more unnecessary visits to the vet to be given a steroid because his face had swollen up. No more uncomfortable face wipes. It completely changed his daily life.He’s healthy and happy. He’s happy about the food, I haven’t noticed any issues or changes in weight gain from changing the food. My cat is very big about cleaning himself so the scent of fish from the food does transfer over to his coat but it’s worth it if he’s healthy.The price has increased about by about 10 dollars in the last year. But this is definitely one of the cheaper options

Simply the best. Are used to love watching Dick Van Patten on this sitcom show, Eight is enough.He was such a good guy, someone in those glory days of our innocent past, who you can trust and rely on. All natural balance food is far better and a fancy shiny colorful packages that you buy in any of the high-volume big market stores.Our cats eat very little of this because it has so many nutrients and so forth in the food. They don’t have to eat that much to get everything they need.We recently bought another brand called blue buffalo cat food, and they eat this day and night like they have bottomless stomachs. That is because it is such a low quality cat food the cats I have to eat 10 times more than a have to eat all the natural balance simply in order to get the nutrients they need.And by law, I am allowed to mention natural balance because we did buy the product and we did have that experience with that product. That is why we would highly recommend anyone that they buy natural balance. It last longer Yeshua cats don’t have to eat that much of it to get all of the good things that they need to stay healthy.

My cats went nuts for this food; they love it. It has good ingredients, good levels of protein, moisture etc. I deducted one star because I don't like the way it smells. (Probably not fair of me, doubt my cats and I enjoy the same smells.)

My vet recommended this for my cat who seemed to have developed digestive issues with her old food. This has less ingredients than the old and she seems to have really improved. Worth the price at least for her.
