Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula

Here are more VEGETARIAN FORMULA Testimonials!..

Zendra, my Chow-Corgi, was rescued from an abandoned ranch "dog rescue", where her collar was SO tight and had been on SO long it had fused to her neck. When we removed it, it was a terrible mess. She was in poor physical shape with itchy rashes and was full of parasites. It was also apparent she had had more than one litter of puppies, though she was only about 2 years old. After being spayed and fully treated, we decided to put her on Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula in order to help her immune system build back up. She is now a very happy and healthy dog, who loves to play with her new doggy and kitty pals! Thank you, Natural Balance, now we're hoping you'll come out with a good Vegetarian can formula!

Enclosed is a picture of a survival miracle. Sassy was an adopted rescue dog as a puppy and is now four years old. Due to her allergy to animal protein she was put on Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula . She is now healthy and loves to pose for the camera. Notice her little smile as she is very happy. I believe all of this was made possible by the best diet of Natural Balance Pet Foods. I believe that her picture and story on your product would encourage other dog owners who are struggling to find the perfect diet for their dogs. Thank You, Sincerely, Alice Williams

I wanted to send a huge Thank you for offering such fantastic dog food. I'm owned by Bertrim a short red Dachshund. Her mum was rescued from Hurricane Katrina, she carried her pups during the aftermath. Bertrim is special he has life threatening allergies. He is a vegetarian, he cannot eat any meat at all. His body shuts down completely in a matter of 24 hours. Such a small number of dogs have this illness (3%) it was up to me to make sure this wittle man of mine got better. Three vets and four internists later I turned to Holistic medicine...my last resort. I slowly introduced one food at a time, this was easy to determine if it was food that was making him sick. We in a week had Bertie boy back after a full month of withering away, dehydrated didn't even move off his bed anymore. Bertie is 100% better, has been for five months now. You wouldn't even know he was so sick... thank goodness I didn't put him to sleep as so many vets told me to do. He is on a complete diet of Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula. Thank you so much for making it for him and all the others that suffer as he does or did. Thank you. With love from Bertie Boy and his mummy Caroline.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your wonderful Vegetarian Formula. I share my home with two rescued dogs who both came to me with terrible skin allergies. Knowing that many meat products are common allergens for dogs, I tried several varieties of vegetarian dog foods. I ran into problems as all of them contained wheat, which one of my dogs is apparently allergic to as well. After only a few weeks of feeding my dogs your Vegetarian formula their skin problems completely cleared up. Thanks so much for producing such a great product! I don't know what I'd do without it.

Zues	Hera

Natural Balance's Vegetarian Dog food has been a miracle for my 8 1/2 -year-old White highly allergic English Bull Terrier Zeus. Both my Bullies are rescues and I got Zeus 4 1/2 years ago. He came to me with Hot Spots, skin bumps, flaming redness, chronic itching, uncontrollable shedding, dry brittle coat, not to mention the details of the awful messes I had to poop and scoop! He had been eating some type of grocery store food....what a mess! So began the dog food war....after many tries we finally found Natural Balance Vegetarian. Within a month we noticed a difference, now 3 months later Zeus is a happy, itch free, less shedding, cuddly soft doggy. He eats less, but has gained 6 lbs back that he lost and poop and scoop....a snap! I recently adopted a white female Bully who is about 16 mths old named Hera. She had a fire engine red belly, hot spots, itching, and the same bowel problems as Zeus. She has been on NB Veggie for about a month now and her redness is almost gone, no itching, no hot spots, she's a happy, bouncy, bully pup. I would highly recommend that pet owners consider and try this top quality food for their pets. I have two very happy, healthy rambunctious bullterrier dogs to prove it's worth every cent! Thank you so much for carrying this great product and I thank Natural Balance so much for creating a truly fantastic food! Many Thanks, Jodie Matthiesen Ottawa, ON

I wanted to share our story with you because it’s the only way I can thank you. Our miniature schnauzer, Idgie, got a hold of a box of chocolate slim fast bars. This caused her kidneys to fail and she was dying before our eyes. We took her to the vet, but after a couple of weeks on fluids and chicken (an ordinary vet won’t prescribe vegetarian food), they sent us home 2 days before Christmas with the shot we could give her in the IV that would put her to sleep. Just after Christmas, we remembered a friend had taken her dog to an alternative medicine vet and he was able to save her dog's life. So, we made an appointment and went up there. He said he could fix the problem with the aqua-puncture and prescribed Idgie a Vegan diet. She had gotten better, but was still throwing up regularly and hadn’t gotten her spunk back yet. Last month, we decided to try and change her food. We went to Petco to see what we could find. That is when we noticed the Natural Balance Vegetarian Dog Food. Idgie has been on this food now for about a month and our 7 year old mini schnauzer is like a puppy again. Today, August 7, 2004 we just got back from Dr. Gurney, the alternative medicine Vet, and we had her blood work done. Her kidney numbers are way down! She doesn’t throw up anymore, and she runs and plays like a normal dog would. It has been 8 months since we were told we should put her to sleep. I wanted to say thank you for creating such a wonderful food. It is the only thing keeps my dog alive and young! Thank you for everything! You have changed our lives and saved our dog.

We have a five year old mixed breed dog named Reggie that we love very much. He developed severe food allergies, and after trying many different foods, we tried your Duck & Potato food. This helped some but Reggie still got ill once every week or two. In August, he became very ill with uncontrolled vomiting & diarrhea. We took him to the vet, and after a number of tests, they couldn't find what was wrong. They suggested expensive surgery that we can not afford. In desperation, we tried your Vegetarian Formula. Within 3 days Reggie had stopped vomiting or had no more diarrhea and he hasn't had any in over 4 months now! Thank you so much for giving us our loving Reggie back! He is the happiest and healthiest we have seen him since a puppy. THANKS SO MUCH! Dan & Linda Hedstrom - Blaine, MN
