Both my cat and I LOVE Natural Balance … she is happy, healthy, and this food helps minimize the hairball activity!,
Chances are if you are looking at Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance, you are looking into finding a quality cat food for you animals. I’m a firm believer in buying the best quality foods for my animals in order to ensure their optimum good health, especially since the 2007 pet food recalls from melamine adulterated food. Initially, when I purchased this food that didn’t factor into my decision.
I had a long-haired cat who gifted me with hairballs on a frequent basis. A friend told me about this food and swore by it, claiming her rugs and furniture no longer suffered from constant scrubbing. I decided to give Natural Balance a try and was amazed at the results. I no longer have that cat, but did inherit another long-haired cutie pie who LOVES this food. I changed her food to this one a month ago, gradually mixing it with her previous food, and it somehow helps her body minimize the hairball activity. I want her to be healthy and happy and find the expense to be well worth it. This is brief blurb from their website, information that can be found on the bag as well:
* Fresh Chicken, Salmon Meal, New Zealand Lamb Meal This unique blend of fresh, high quality proteins provides the essential amino acids to help maintain strong muscle tone and a healthy, shiny coat.
* Taurine Fortified To help maintain a healthy heart and good vision.
* Fresh Potatoes Rich in potassium and an excellent source of highly digestible carbohydrates.
* Preserved Naturally To maintain freshness, Natural Balance uses only mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) in all of its formulas and will always be free of artificial flavors, colors and chemical preservatives.
* Skin and Coat Essential Fatty Acids are combined to produce an excellent skin and coat for your cat.
* High Digestibility
No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors, Colors, or Bleached Ingredients.
If you need to find out more, you can check out this food at Petco, where I purchased it, or head to the Natural Balance website. Of course everyone has their own opinion and will look at several factors when purchasing for their animals. You and only you know your needs, but I find that this food satisfies not only mine (I don’t have to invest in so many paper towels), but obviously that of my cat. I was using a perfectly acceptable organic food, but when I mixed this with it … well, lets just say she likes Natural better than organic. I’m happy if she’s happy and I’m not constantly cleaning up after her these days!

|Outstanding Food for both healthy and sick cats,
I first switched to this food for my senior cats who both had cancer (most likely from my feeding them cheap food all their lives – never again). Within days of starting my cancer-cats on this food they both perked up, gained weight, and actually maintained the last few months of their lives in an active and normal manner. Both of course finally succumbed to cancer, but even the vet was surprised at how long they lived after diagnosis, and how brief the period of their final decline was (they both sort of bottomed out within a two day period at the end).
Now, the other piece: I had purchased another Siamese upon learning of my other cats’ illness, and he not only loved them, he also loved the Natural Balance food, which was all he got. I noticed that as he grew he was not anemic looking as most siamese are, but actually had good muscle tone. When I brought him for his first vet checkup the vet said, and I quote “In 20 years, this is the healthiest looking Siamese cat I have ever seen.” She commented on his physique, muscle tone, activity level, coat, etc. I later adopted a Tabby the same age as the Siamese, and got the same response. Both cats just have sleek, beautiful coats, are very athletic and energetic, and love the Natural Balance food.
I firmly believe that this food (and I now also use Blue Buffalo Wilderness for some variety) has made a real and noticeable differnce in the health and quality of life of my cats, and I highly recommend it to anyone. I will say my cats don’t care for the wet Matural Balance foods, so I supplement their diet with an occasional Fancy Feast flavor that is free of glutens and fillers (you can google for the list.) Highly recommended.

|Great food and my cat loves it!!,
The food is good, but I buy it because my cat really loves it. I must confess I was trying to switch her to Evo brand food, so I did the usual routine of starting to mix in the new food. We noticed that she was eating very carefully. After a few days we were up to half Natural Balance and half Evo and after she ate…very slowly…I Iooked at the bowl and realized what she was doing- she was tasting each little pellet and only eating the Natural Balance (leaving behind the little triangular Evo bits)!! We gave the rest of the bag of Evo to a friend and ordered more Natural Balance.
