Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Adult Wet Canned Dog Food with Vegan Plant Based Protein and Healthy Grains, Vegetarian Recipe, 13 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Our current two dogs have been strict vegetarians, like us, for a long time, as have our previous five dogs. We supplement this with veggies and fried tofu or cheese slices or cottage cheese or tofurkey slices for variety. I often use the canned product to create a kind of gravy for our older dog. We mix it with the Natural Balance kibbles and might add a little canola oil, peanut butter, soy sauce or nutritional yeast or yogurt for variety. It’s a great product to have on hand to simplify meals for our canine companions. It also is not very watery so you get a decent amount of nutrition. Just to point out: Dogs can be healthy and live to be quite old on a vegetarian diet. Pumpkin lived to age 14, Flora , a black lab mix, to age 16, Sebastian, a pug rescue, to age 15, Oliver and Harvey, both pugs, to age 13 and 14. Now Levi and Honey, both from Green Mountain Pug Rescue, are thriving on a vegetarian diet. Dogs are definitely able to do very well without meat as l know from almost 50 years of having dogs on vegetarian food only.

Dog had to have surgery after suffering injuries. Refused to eat and was getting sicker. The vet gave us some stinky prescription food that is for both cats and dogs. Dog ate it for a day but then refused it like everything else. After trying just a bunch of random wet foods, we found that this Natural science veg food the dog loved, ate without fail, and the bloody stool stopped. Never got bored of it during the three weeks of recovery needed.

Over the years my husband and I have really run the gauntlet when it comes to trying to help our poor little fussy, gassy, bloated dog to feel better. She has tried so many different special foods (for digestion, for weight control, for old age, sensitive stomachs) and with each new food we carefully introduced it into her diet with high hopes that this would finally be the one to help her, but we were always met with the same result of either maintaining her level of problems or increasing them.A few months ago she was feeling worse than ever and it was affecting her sleep so badly that she would just fuss all day and all night long. She would beg us to take her outside and we would take her for the longest walks (miles and miles) and she would either have diarrhoea throughout the walk or she wouldn't be able to get anything out at all. Either way, despite the lengthy duration of her walks, the moment that we had brought her back inside she would start desperately asking to go back out again. She also threw up regularly (even when she was on sensitive stomach food) and it would keep her up all night. The poor thing was getting next to no sleep. On top of that, she would go to her empty food bowl (after eating her full daily serving amount and then some) and would scratch at it and beg and plead for more food even when she was clearly too full already.Out of sheer desperation and desire for her comfort and our peace, I decided to try putting her on a vegetarian diet.I did all my customary extensive research and am extremely happy with the choice that I made!Her improvement was immediate and has lasted for the entire two months that we've had her on the food so far.It is truly remarkable!Her behavior changed in less than a day! Her walks last a pleasant and satisfying amount of time, she gets her business done right away (firm and normal), she sleeps through the night, she is generally peaceful throughout the day. Her bloating has gone down significantly and she is even starting to lose weight despite the fact that the food isn't even "diet".Here is what I've been feeding her:Halo Vegan Garden Medley Stew for Dogs (dry food)andNatural Balance Vegetarian Formula (canned wet food). It's is actually vegan as well, not just vegetarian.I use half the daily serving amount of each kind (so that the sum total per day is one full serving of food) and combine the two together thoroughly. Also, I split her food up into two feedings a day which means that each serving of combined food equals half of her daily serving size.I cannot stress enough the improvement that this food has made in her quality of life!I'm so happy for her and I highly recommend either or both Halo Garden Medley Stew and/or Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula!

A sweet, long hair German Shepherd is a member of our family. To make a very long, years long saga short, we took her to Vet after veterinarian because of itchy skin and our poor girl pulling her own hair out due to the itching, she was tormented by the itching. We even had her blood tested, and she spent 5+ years on steroids, allergy meds and medication for the infractions that plagued her. She was so sad to see and we didn't know what to do to help her. We got recommendations to put her on a prescription diet, a raw meat diet and on and on. We were told that there were allergens in the foods we tried. She hated all of these food choices and after a day would pass without eating, she would be so hungry, she would eat it and then purge most of it. We were not happy and neither was she. FINALLY, I found a review online that could have been written by us mirroring our poor girls predicament and with the recommendation of this food, both wet and dry - applauding this food as a miracle. We thought at that point we needed a miracle and I ordered it but wasn't sure what to expect. When we put it down in front of her, she ate it and immediately after she stopped biting and scratching. Within a few days, her hair started growing back. As it turns out it appears that she is allergic to all animal proteins. Discovering this food is truly a miracle. Today, 2 years later we groom her beautiful long coat again and she is a happy girl. We are so grateful that she is no longer on any medication and that we discovered this food in time for her to have a wonderful life.
