Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Cat Food, Duck & Green Pea, 10 lb

All 3 of my cat's were having allergy problems. Pulling fur and "mowing". After many vet bills I did my own research. I decided it was the great quality food I was giving them. I changed their diet to this food and all their symptoms changed. No more fur pulling or mowing. And they are playing again. No vet recommended to change their food. So happy to find a solution.

I have two large male cats who are both big eaters. Although they have both been fed a good quality, veterinarian recommended, pet store specialty kibble forever, one cat has been pulling out his hair, literally, for several months. Poor Toby Cat had become almost bald! He required continuous steroid shots in an attempt to control this problem. The other cat is a mostly Maine Coon with a bushy coat, which was rather scruffy and dull in appearance, despite brushing. I researched the entire cat problem sections on the internet, and finally decided to try Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck LID dry cat food, which I immediately ordered from Amazon. This food contains none of the usual fillers, and proteins are not ones usually encountered in other foods - major allergy inducers, especially after years of ingestion, as are grains, which are not to be found in this food. Also, most cats seem to need less of the Green Pea and Duck formula to feel satisfied. Amazingly, my Toby looks and behaves like a different cat! As does my Coon Kitty! They both now have full, shiny coats, have ceased the constant scratching and most of the constant licking (that's Toby, a diagnosed OCD). And although I did not realize this, both cats had become somewhat overweight. Both cats have lost about two pounds - they were 20+ pounders before - big boned boys, too. Now, they're both slim, trim, and more energetic! Toby has a far better disposition, since he's not concerned with his constant Natural Balance Dry Cat Food, Limited Ingredient Diet Green Pea and Duck Formula, 10 Pound Bag discomfort, which is gone. Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck dry cat food has been a bit of magic for my cats and for me! This food would be a blessing to any cat. It's healthy! And for a cat experiencing allergies of any kind, it's a must! I wrote Natural Balance and thanked the company for restoring my cats. I thank Amazon for offering it at a reasonable price and getting it here promptly! Winners, all!

One of my cats has bad food allergies that make her ears really gross and she gets really bad dandruff, so I was advised by my vet to switch to a protein she had never had before such as duck. Have been feeding her this for about 2 years now and her ears are much cleaner and her dandruff is much more under control. I have 2 cats and they steal each other's food so they both get this duck food despite one not having any allergies. Pros: They have the absolute SOFTEST and shiniest fur out of any cats I have ever touched. Seriously - they are like fuzzy blankets. It's ridiculous how soft they are. They've always been pretty soft cats but this food has made their coats 10x silkier. Everyone who touches them comments on how ridiculously soft they are. They also seem to drink a lot more water when they eat this food, which is good because cats are generally pretty dehydrated. It has also almost entirely cleared up one of my cats allergies, which is what the main goal was. Cons: Duck has a LOT of protein and this food is pretty calorie rich. My cats gained a lot of weight since starting this food, like 2lbs each. I now have switched them to "slow feeder" balls to help with dieting because there is not any weight control duck food that I can find on the market, and switching proteins is not an option unfortunately. While I am happy this food makes them drink more water, it also means they are using the bathroom more so I have to change their box more frequently. The biggest downside has definitely been the weight gain, but my cats are also lazy/10 years old so it may not happen for your pet. All in all this food is great and my cats seem to enjoy eating it. The 10lb bag lasts me about 2 months with 2 cats.

My 13 year old cat was puking up almost everyday. Since i started her on this cat food 2 weeks ago she hasn’t puked up and her coat is improving. The other day she was playing with her toy mouse.

I have two rescue kitties I am still searching for a food that doesn't cause the the litterbox to peel the wallpaper. This food was much better than any chicken-based food I've tried, but we're not quite there yet. They eat it readily enough, however I am not impressed with the smell. It smells like peas. Cats are obligate carnivores. Peas are not meat. The cats don't adore this food. They do eat it and their #2 is more solid than it was on chicken based food, but it still peels the wall paper. We'll keep looking.

I switched to this food for one of my cats who has a very sensitive stomach, and so far I’m really happy with it. The limited ingredient formula was one of the main reasons I decided to try it. The kibble size is good, the ingredients look clean, and my cat actually enjoys eating it. I also like that it’s grain free and made with a single protein source, which makes it easier to avoid food sensitivities. So far it seems much gentler on digestion compared to other foods we tried.

I foster animals as a volunteer. Last year we began fostering a starved mother cat and four kittens. We wound up adopting the Mama (Music), and two kittens (Bandit and Lizzie). That gave us a grand total of five cats, the oldest of which is 16+. About seven months ago I noticed that the cats were vomiting off and on. The vet couldn't find anything wrong, so we just went home to keep an eye on everyone. The cats were still playful, happy, and well hydrated. The vomiting continued every so often. It was once or twice a week, but I couldn't always tell which cat was responsible. So, we went back to the vet. Again, nobody was sick. I went home and started keeping a diary to document any changes I saw in the cats. They were always fed an excellent food, but I slowly began to notice all of them (from age 16+ down to 5 months old) becoming more lethargic, they were scratching more, they were more aggravated with each other, and one cat started losing clumps of very dry fur. The really distressing part, though, was that the oldest cat stopped eating. She would eat a bit and then vomit, so she just stopped eating. By that time I was scared. I made an appointment with the vet, but I was pretty convinced it was their food. I had researched Limited Ingredient Diets and I got a small bag of this food at the local pet health food store. I brought it home and fed the cats. All the cats loved it, but the oldest one, Piglet, didn't respond right away. I leave the dry food out all the time for the cats, so they can eat as much as they need because all of our animals are rescued and I don't want them to ever feel like they're starving. Anyway, in the middle of the night I was woken up to the sound of one of the cats eating. I turned on the lamp and was overjoyed to see Piglet eating the food! Over the week all vomiting stopped, the cats are more peaceful, they're shedding less and scratching less, but the best news is that Piglet is eating and playing again! I LOVE this food!!!!

Out of nowhere, my indoor cat became REALLY sick. She could not keep her food down and her stools became loose and had a nightmarish foul smell. She was completely lethargic staring into space and seemed to be dying. She lost 3 of her 13 pounds in a week and a half becoming really boney. My vet ran all kinds of tests but did not know what to do. She sent my cat home with some very expensive dry and wet food along with probiotics none of which my cat would not touch. I read the food labels and it was the same ingredients as what she'd eaten her whole life eating Iams. A grain based diet, likely GMO as well. Something about her condition and the docs prescribing probiotics reminded me of my own health issues so I googled GMO free cat food and came across a website with a cat that went thru exactly what my cat was. Tons of tests, no diagnosis, similar symptoms. The big issue seemed to be grains. We ourselves should not be eating a grain based diet. Nor should our animals, pets or food source animals. Grain acts like sugars in our intestines and can feed the bad bacteria overwhelming the intestinal balance. As well as causing other health issues. (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, weight gain, auto immune issues, arthritis, inflammation, food sensitivities) Anyway the cat in the website had a near miraculous turn around in health from eating a Limited Ingredient Diet (no grain) dry cereal. So I tried this Natural Balance. And immediately my Skye started getting better. She gained her weight back, no throwing up, stools normalized, her coat better than ever as well as her energy. At 12 she has more spunk, piss and vinegar than she's had in years. It's like she's younger. Her whole life she used to tend towards being overweight and would seriously over eat so I would have to limit her food as she was frantic in her eating like she couldn't control herself. Same thing happened to me when my intestines became out of balance with chronic candida. The candida is screaming for carbs to multiply and grow which causes uncontrollable cravings. I craved carbohydrates like a junkie for heroin and could not control my carb consumption. I can now leave a full bowl out for her and she grazes without overeating. I wish my other cat Diesel would eat this food as I believe it is healthier than the grain based food she eats and it would simplify feeding of 2 cats on different diets. I also wish this food cost less but at least I find a better price here at Amazon than my local pet store.

一歳の猫が食物アレルギーでこちらのキャットフードに変えたところ、１ヶ月程で口の周りの赤みが治りました。それまでアレルギー用のフードを与えていたのですが全然治らずステロイドも併用していました。このフードに変えてからステロイドを飲ませなくても皮膚の赤みがでないので良かったです。ずっとこのフードを与えようと思います。

This is the best food for my cats! Their coats became so gorgeous silky and so soft. Plus they don’t eat as much because it’s not full of fillers.

I have a cat with a sensitive stomach and like the NB chicken and green pea, duck was a big hit. No more throw-ups and he's back to being his spazzy little self. Another thing to note is that the price is awesome compared to what I could find locally. I was only able to find the 5lb bag for $25 :/. Anyways, absolutely nothing to complain about. Great food if you're cat has stomach issues :).

My cats love this food and it is easily digested.

My cat has sensitive stomach, this food is perfect for him!
