INFORMATION |
|  Natural
Balance® Potato & Duck
Formula is a proven formula for
dogs with allergies based on our unique single source
protein and single source carbohydrate blend.
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 Potato and Duck formula for dogs with these
food allergies. Our Potato and Duck formula combines
fresh duck, (no by-products), a single source of animal
protein that most dogs have not been exposed to, and
a single source of carbohydrate not commonly found in
dog foods, along with effective natural ingredients
to help rebuild the dog's immune system.

they are weaned. From six weeks to six months, feed
three times a day. You may want to add a small amount
of Natural Balance® Duck
& Potato Canned Dog Food for ease of feeding.
The amount of canned dog food can be gradually decreased
as the puppy matures. After six months, it is recommended
to feed twice daily.

We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals
or any other supplements, except upon the advice
of a veterinarian. The maintenance of proper body
weight is most important for your dog’s health.
Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations
for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should
be available at all times! |
|
|
 The
Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice
per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance®
Potato & Duck Formula, we suggest to start with
the amounts recommended in the Table. Energy requirements
vary with environmental conditions, temperature and
activity of your dog. The amount of food should always
be adjusted to suit your dog’s needs.
Pregnant
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Minimal increase needed during first 6 weeks.
Weeks 7, 8, & 9 increase up to 25%.
Lactating
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases
by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal
meals per day.
Working
Dogs Based on the work your dog will be asked to
perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly.
As the work load increases, the demand for protein and
fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training
will generally require twice the maintenance levels.
The
Older Dog As your dog begins to age, his energy
expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of
food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper
body weight for less active dog. |

FEEDING
MANAGEMENT |
| We
recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or
any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian.
When switching your dog’s diet, the change should
be made gradually, by replacing the current food with
increasing portions of Natural Balance® Potato &
Duck formula. The change should be completed after 3
to 5 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is
most important for your dog’s health. Consult your
veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for
your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available
at all times! |

| I
just started using the Natural Balance®
Potato and Duck Formula about a month
ago. I had to tell you that I noticed a difference in
my dogs within 2 weeks. WOW! They love it and you should
see thier coats now! For the first time in 4 years, I
actually had people come up to me to tell me how beautiful
my dog is. Not only is her coat gorgeous, but she is more
playful and LOVES the new dog food. I just wanted to say
thank you for making such a high quality food that my
dogs are thriving on! Ginger

| Just
wanted to let you know how happy I am with Natural
Balance® Potato and Duck Formula.
My Old English Sheepdog had such digestive problems. He
was constantly having bowel problems. My vet recommended
I switch foods until I could find one that suited Winston.
Someone at my place of work told me about your product.
Winston has been on the dry Duck & Potato diet and
canned foods, as well. He has not been sick since the
start of his new diet. I have now switched my Yellow Lab
over and he seems to have more energy and his digestive
systems seems to more balanced. I just wanted to thank
you for helping me keep my dogs healthy and active. Your
product is great!!! Tina

| Our
Standard Poodle, Angel, will be 13 years-old the end of
May. She is our most precious companion. Angel has allergy
problems so we have been challenged over these wonderful
years with her trying to find a dog food she likes as
well as can tolerate. More recently Angel developed a
poor appetite, a cist 3/4-inch in diameter on the left
side of her neck, and a bit of uncontrolable urine leakage.
We have been both saddened and alarmed at these conditions
in her later years. By chance, we came across Natural
Balance® Potato and Duck Formula.
It is amazing because now she considers it only second
choice to what she might be able to coax from mom and
dad's dinner. (We should have mentioned that Angel's doctor
cautioned us not to have the cist removed using anethesia.)
Back to "Potato & Duck Formula". What is
more amazing is that since she began eating it about six
weeks ago, Angel's cist has completely disappeared; she
has a much better appetite; the urine leakage is gone;
and, she seems more playful and happy. We now joyfully
refer to her Potato and Duck Formula as her "miracle
dog food". Kris

wanted to tell you about our 7-yr. old Jack Russell, Maggie,
who is doing so well on the Natural Balance®
Potato and
Duck Formula. She has suffered for several
years with IBD, and has been on medication for most of
that time. Several months ago we started her on Natural
Balance Duck and Potato. She really looks forward to her
meals, especially with a little of the canned food mixed
in. It is absolutely remarkable how well she is! For a
long time we were going through cycles of repeated bloody
vomiting; she was frequently lacking in energy, miserable,
depressed and shaking uncontrollably. We were desperate
to help her, and so saddened by her condition. Daily medication
could not control her symptoms, and we were afraid that
we were going to lose her. Now, after less than 3 months
on your diet, she is a dog full of energy, comfortable,
happy and alert, the way she used to be years ago! We
truly can't thank you enough for your quality products.
Please do not change anything that you are doing. We believe
you saved our dog's life! Thank you! |
| We
rescued a 6.5 month old beagle end of Jan. We struggled
for 2.5 months to find a food that she would eat. She
would even refuse the home cooked recipe that friends
feed their beagles. Can you imagine, a healthy beagle
refusing to eat!!!! Our pup would go 1.5 days without
eating, constantly throwing up bile. Until we tried your
Natural Balance® Potato and
Duck Formula. She now eats both her daily meals.
I can't tell you how relieved we are. We had been treating
both our beagles with the Natural Balance®
Potato and Duck Treats. At times that
is all she would eat, hence my trying the dry food. Thank
you so much for the good quality, and TASTY food. Susan |
| I
am so happy to have found your Natural Balance®
Potato and
Duck Formula for my Golden Ret. He has always
had ear and skin issues. But after being on your food
exclusively, he's like a new dog!
Kristy, Liberty Lake, WA |
 Kima,
one of our adopted Basenjis, developed horrible allergies
last summer in spite of an excellent diet. After trying
chicken, lamb, beef, turkey - only to have her problems
increase - we began feeding her your Natural
Balance® Potato and Duck Formula
with great success. After only a few weeks, we were
able to wean her off the steroids and have watched as
her coat improved once more and her general well-being
obviously improved as well. Thank you for producing
such a wonderful food option that is also readily available
(although the treats have often been hard to find).
The cats now enjoy your great cat food and I'll be starting
our other Basenji on one of your formulas as soon as
he finishes his current supply. Thank
you! Laura Whitney |
 Thank
your for Natural Balance® Potato
and Duck Formula for my 3 year old yellow lab,
Charlie! We have been fighting recurrent ear infections
plus stomach upset for a whle. Charlie would go outside
and eat grass several times a week so he could vomit
and his stools would be loose too. His ears were red
and inflammed. We were treating his ears with Otomax
way too often. My vet finally thought maybe this was
all food related and suggested a duck and potato food.
Since I had never heard of such a food, I was hesitant
in my search for it. But I went to my local Petco and
found your product. Charlie has been on his 3rd 30-lb
bag of Potato and Duck Formula and the stomach upset,
eating grass and vomiting has stopped! His ears are
doing so much better too. Thank you for caring enough
to make such a quality dog food and not testing on animals.
Charlie thanks you too. Charlie wanted me to ask you
if you will ever have Duck and Potato in the rolls?
