My 10 year old cocker spaniel has been treated for chronic ear and paw yeast infections for the past 9 years. He's had chronic, stinky black gunk in his ears and a black waxy substance covering his toes. I would guess that I've spent thousands of dollars on vet visits, tests, shampoos, ear medications, wipes, antibiotics you name it none of which worked for more than a week. My vet even tried a "new" process where the dog's ears were filled with some type of medication every week (at the vets $50 a week) for a couple of months but there was no improvement. My poor dog has scratched himself raw and spent much of his day licking and digging at his yeast-encrusted paws or scratching his sore, smelly ears. Recently, I've been bathing him every 2 days with Malaseb Shampoo (which did seem to help), but he had to stand for 15 minutes with the shampoo covering him, before the medication could be rinsed from his skin. Poor little dog.
While on a trip to Florida, I took my spaniel to a new vet who prescribed more ear drops, wipes, and shampoo in an attempt to help my dog. The vet asked me if I'd ever tried changing his food from Eukanuba, which he's been on since he was a puppy. No vet had ever mentioned that my dog could be allergic to his food and it seemed so simple. I found Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Venison at Petco and thought I'd try a food trial. What a difference! In the two weeks since he's been on this dog food his yeast infection appears to be gone. His ears are clear, with no discharge or irritation and the skin on his paws is starting to look pink and healthy. I can't believe the difference in such a short time! He's not scratching, either. The Florida vet had said that a food trial would require at least 2 months, but I'm seeing such an improvement in only 2 weeks. Pretty amazing!

This food is wonderful for dogs! It's healthy and doesn't contain all the fillers that most dog foods do. We saw an instant change in our dogs skin and bowel movements for the better. Now, any dog we get will now eat Natural Balance LTD. Our vet recommended this to us after our boston terrier got bladder stones, wish we would have known about it sooner.

Perfect food for the Shar-Pei breed ... after raising Shar-Pei dogs for 20 years, it is obvious that this food is the healthiest found for their particular skin problems and allergies. This is a wholesome food that is all natural, without dyes and unnatural ingredients. I would definately recommend this food for any breed but definately for the Shar-Pei breed.

Our dog is on a lifelong limited ingredient diet due to inflammatory bowel disease. He eats the venison & potato dry food and gets a low maintenance dose of prednisone. The IVD (now Royal Canin) food worked well, but we've were outraged by the constant price hikes and annoyed by the inconvenience of only be able to buy the food at a vet. Then we discovered Natural Balance. On a price per pound basis it's about half the price. Our dog has done very well with this food. Although there is no way for me to be sure, I also think it's likely that sweet potato is more nutritious than plain potato, so that's another benefit. If you buy from Amazon there is free shipping and no sales tax, as well.
The food is a little more dense, so if you're switching from Royal Canin you might want to weigh your regular feeding of the old food, and determine how much of a scoop of the new food gives the same weight. Not a big difference, but if you want to feed the exact same amount then go by weight.
Very pleased with this food. It's still expensive, but not like the thuggish price gouging from Royal Canin.

Our 2 year old pointer mix dog has a variety of allergy issues. After she developed hair loss and red spots on her hip, head, and paw that would not heal, we decided to put her on an elimination diet. She has been eating this product for about two months now, and with the help of some antibiotics to treat a secondary staph infection, and daily Benadryl, her skin has healed and her fur is growing back. I am very happy with the way this food appears to be hypoallergenic for her. She likes both the food and matching treats.
FYIWe also provide her with smoked elk bones from Venison Joe's, and she LOVES them. I want to mention this because it is hard to find appropriate bones for dogs on an elimination diet.
