Natural Balance – LIFE WITH DOGS

Like many excellent pet food brands, Natural Balance uses a limited range of ingredients that are not only fresh and natural but are also locally sourced from the best producers in the country. On average, their pet foods have a 21% protein content which makes them excellent for the development of your pet’s body and muscles.

These foods also have a crude fat level of about 10% and contain no artificial fillers within their ingredients list. In fact, the only problem you might have with the ingredients list is the fact that it has tomato pomace listed, which is still kind of a controversial inclusion because there is an on-going debate on whether it’s a filler or a good source of fiber for your pets.

If you look at their meals that have chicken in the recipe, you will find that they contain chicken meal which has about 300% more protein than your typical chicken as well as chicken fat and a high dosage of omega-6 fatty acids. This means that your furry friend will undoubtedly be getting all the nutrients that he/she needs to grow.
