Miracle food for dogs! - Food

My 15 year old poodle has had diarrhea for several months. The vet put him on chicken and rice, but the dog can't sit on it forever. Every food I tried to get him to eat caused the same problem. Even $100 a box of dog food didn't help! He lost a lot of weight so I researched products online and saw great reviews for Natural Balance Synergy. In less than a week his bowel movements have become hard and I can see that he has already gained some weight! Now he can be in my life a little bit longer!

Pros
  • Weight

Buy a small bag first

I am switching my new dog from cheap dry food to Natural Balance as I have had a lot of experience with this in the past. He liked the LID types but almost refused to eat the Synergy blend. He doesn't seem to be a picky eater, so I think it really didn't sit well with him. I'm glad I tried a few small bags of different NB kibbles before moving on to the larger ones. he liked it (mostly everything but that). If you think your dog needs it, start small and see if he eats it first.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are nuances

SAVIOR! in Dogs

Our dog Quinn has a sensitive stomach and we have tried different varieties. Every few months he would have diarrhea for a week or more. We had to give him water, chicken and potatoes to fix his stomach. We fed him HIGH QUALITY food. I read that Natural Balance Synergy is stomach friendly. You were right. His poop is the BEST I've seen in 3 YEARS! He went through a lot when we rescued him from a cheapskate with 90 DOGS! Try this meal and you won't be disappointed. We are switching our other dog

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • I will add later

Second time same problem

I commented on the Natural Balance package I received and explained that I sifted 24 oz. earthen dust, like food from a sack. I was happy to get another bag of food to replace the one I got rid of. Unfortunately, this second meal pack is exactly the same. I have to sift it before I can feed it to my dog. I'm at a loss as to what happened to the consistency of this meal. My dog has been eating since she was a pup Natural Balance due to her sensitive stomach, she will be 10 in November. What has…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Working Speed

New formula without notice - my dogs are sick now

I don't know what they changed but my dogs have been eating Natural Balance Synergy for years with no problem. We recently received a new version of "Tender Balance" with no change notification as we were on a Synergy subscription. One dog vomited this food for several days, the other had diarrhea for several days. Now I have to give them chicken and rice to settle their stomach and make the decision to continue trying this new formula or start over with a different dog food. It sucks anyway…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

My 12.5 year old, 22 pound Mini Schnauzer has been consuming Natural Balance Low Calorie for the last ten years, after which the company decided to discontinue the line. Oh no! I spoke to two reps and they recommended the next LID (Limited Ingredient Diet) diet with chicken and brown rice. My dog didn't like it at all! I lost weight and then threw up! No longer! Called the company again, great service. I threw away the original packaging so they send me a coupon for my next bag to guarantee…

Pros
  • High Ratings for Support and Durability from Testers
Cons
  • Reliability

Changed for the better

Natural Balance is a great brand of pellets but this particular line of pellets goes way beyond that. Both of my dogs doubled down on this food but one had a bad habit of eating his own poop and this dog food helped me change that for the better. While adapting to new potty training methods was the main reason for behavior changes, this food helped him become better potty trained. It helped regulate his digestive system and his poop was (I know it's gross, but what we do for our dogs) much…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Bad impression
