PRODUCT INFORMATION

Natural Balance® Duck & Potato Canned Formula is a proven formula for dogs with allergies based on our unique protein and carbohydrate blend. No grains such as wheat, barley, rice, or corn.

Potato & Duck Some dogs may be highly sensitive to commonly used proteins, carbohydrates and food additives in their diet. Allergic reactions can lead to irritable bowel, upset stomach, and a number of skin problems. Natural Balance® has created Duck & Potato Canned Formula for dogs with these food allergies. Our Duck & Potato Canned Formula combines fresh duck, a source of animal protein that most dogs have not been exposed to, and a potatoes, a carbohydrate source not commonly found in dog foods, along with effective natural ingredients to help rebuild the dog's immune system.

Theo Natural Balance Duck & Potato Canned Formula is a complete and balanced diet for your dog, yet it has been formulated to complement our Potato & Duck Formula Dry Food, as well as Potato & Duck Treats, so dogs with allergies can now have a complete allergen-free diet. For growing puppies, the Canned Food can be mixed with Natural Balance® Potato & Duck Dry; a mixture that could ease the weaning process and stimulate appetite during this stressful time. For lactating bitches, a gradual increase in food intake is necessary starting around week 8 or 9 of pregnancy. Adding Natural Balance® Duck & Potato Canned Formula satisfies the increased caloric requirement. Also great for picky-eaters and can help kindle the appetite of the older dog.

All Natural Balance Pet Foods have been developed by veterinarians and animal nutritionists. How is Natural Balance® good for All Life Stages? Click HERE.

I just wanted to let you know that my 9 year old wheaten terrier has severe food allergies. Thank goodness for Natural Balance Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets™ Duck and Potato Canned Formula, it is the only commercially prepared food she can eat. She also loves the Duck and potato "cookies". Natural Balance has been a lifesaver for us... thanks! Janet Ripca

My name is Nina Renee Staroba and I have a female boxer named Cecelia. (CC for short). Here is her story: In August of 2007, she became ill with diarrhea. She was 63 pounds at this point. After several trips to the vet and a a few thousand dollars later, she was diagnosed with EPI. (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.) It took until Dec. 2007 to diagnose her correctly. She was down to 47 lbs. I was worried that she was going to die shortly. Her vet prescribed enzyme replacement medicine and told me to mix it with her food. At that time, I was using a commercial brand. Needless to say it didn't work. So he told me to try a premium brand. Well, I tried several of them with no avail. I was desperate at that point. She was wasting away quickly. I live in Illinois and went to Petco in Edwardsville. I spoke with the young manager on duty about my CC and her illness, (Ryan was his name). He handed me a can on Natural Balance® Duck & Potato Formula and said that a lot of dogs do well on this brand. I fed it to CC that evening with her enzymes mixed in and her first stool was PERFECT!! I immediately went back and bought a case. All weekend long her stools were perfect, no more diarrhea. On Monday, I called the vet and questioned why this particular brand worked so well and not any of the others I tried. He explained that the enzymes can only turn food into nutrients, not fillers, by-products etc. Well, that told me that Natural Balance has more real food in it that any of those other so-called "premium" dog foods out there. So I believe that your dog food saved CC's life and not only the medicine she is on. The story continues: On a particular trip into Petco to buy more Duck and Potato a few months later your Account Representative was there. I told him I loved the Duck and Potato and wanted to tell more dog owners about it. He hired me to become a Product Demonstration Rep and now everyone who comes in when I'm there hears CC's story. I also belong to an K-9 EPI global group on Yahoo that I share CC's story with to all new members. We have several thousand members at this point. So I have been raving about Natural Balance for several months now to people all over the world. It has been truly a blessing for many frightened dog owners trying to get this disease under control. Thank you very much, and thank you Jeff for giving me the opportunity to share my story locally. AND, she is now at her ideal weight! Renee and CC

I wanted to share our story. We have two chocolate cocker spaniels, Sherman Abercrombie and Jilian Chickabee. When we got Sherman we did not know how rare the chocolates were. We spent a year trying to find another one, but we finally did and she was beautiful! We made it through our healthy puppy exam and then things started to go wrong. She had a cherry eye, which we had surgery on and then the other eye, which, again, we had surgery on! At about 2 yrs. old she started to have skin break outs. Terrible scratching and ear infections. My sister-in-law worked for a vet. She asked the vet if she could suggest anything. She called me back and said find a good Potato and Duck dog food...my quest was on. It took 4 months and lots of questions to find your Natural Balance® Duck & Potato Canned Formula! Things got much better but then Jili started to get new allergies! So we started narrowing her treats. We finally got to just dog food and chicken chips. We were good for about 3 years and then it started all over again. We found out she was allergic to CHICKEN! The vet suggested that I take the canned Potato and Duck food and we are all cleared up! NO rash! NO itching! NO stinky ears! She is my happy little cocker again! Your friends, Shelley, Sherman and Jili! Oh, my husband too, Larry!
