We have three pets in our house. Two cats and a dog. Unfortunately, my dog has allergies (oats of all things) and so we were looking for a dog food that was guaranteed not to have oats in it. We happened to be at Petco and were looking through the various dog foods looking for a better option when we spied what we thought would be a good option. Our option was Natural Balance Limited Ingredients Diet pet food. Natural Balance L.I.D. dog food comes in several flavors – Sweet Potato & Chicken, Potato & Duck, Sweet Potato & Fish, Sweet Potato & Venison, and Lamb & Brown Rice. Of those five, only ONE (Lamb & Brown Rice obviously) has grain products in it. The rest are grain free, which is what we chose for Panda.

We have tried both the Sweet Potato & Chicken and the Sweet Potato & Venison and Panda LOVES it! I can’t say he eats or poops less because no matter what I’ve fed him he’s never eaten or pooped all that much, but I have to say that he loves it, I know he won’t be getting oats with it, and he hasn’t been quite as itchy since he went on it even though his fur is getting longer. Usually once his fur gets longer he starts to itch constantly – and I haven’t seen that happening since we switched him to the Natural Balance food. So for Panda, this has been a great option.

The ingredients list is amazing as well! There are very few, if any, preservatives in this food. It has sweet potatoes, venison, vitamin supplements, etc. But it doesn’t contain a lot of the preservatives found in a lot of the other brands of dog food.

Their cat food is amazing as well. While our cats did not like the grain-free formulas, they DID like the Original Ultra food! They eat it up just as well as the Purina One they used to get, but seem to be more playful and happier than they were with the Purina One. Again, the ingredients list includes few, if any, preservatives and the cats just eat it up.

While it is a bit pricey – the small bags cost about $14.99 for the cat food and $15.99 for the dog food (4-7lb bag) and so far I’ve only found it at Petco, it is an amazing food and well worth the price for the benefits it gives our animals. I definitely recommend this food for anyone – especially those who deal with animals with food allergies.
