Natural Balance

  • MantisM

    Natural Balance makes a sensitive diet for older dogs and it can be used as a complete diet for puppies as well. It doesnt contain soy, wheat, corn or rice….Duck and Potato....I have been feeding it to my adult B and will be soon feeding the wet food to the new puppy. They say no supplements are needed. This food doesnt have preservative and usually can be purchased at a feed store.

    Another quality brand food is Innova.....

    The Natural Balance Rolls are great for training treats. You can cut them into nice pea sized bites and since it is a complete food it can be substituted for their normal food. Mine dogs love it. We buy a large roll and cut up and keep it in a canister in the fridge so we have some on hand when we need it.

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    I used Orijen for a few months. Our boy seemed to like it, but sometimes he would skip a meal. But then we switched to Nature's Variety and he seems to like it even better, hasn't missed a meal in over a year! Both great dog foods though!
