I thought many of you should know this. I got from a dog forum. Looks
like NB is changing formulas like Canidae did, many dogs has gotten
sick from the change of ingredients which results cheaper quality of
ingredients in the formula. Anyways I would pass this around on Dog
Groups, to let them know. Whoever are feeding NB should switch to
another Kibble or/and (Raw, Home-cooking)
=================================
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Natural Balance regarding the Potato &
Duck Formula. Please know that we have implemented a recent change to
this formula. As Natural Balance continues to grow, we have found it
increasingly difficult to obtain the quality and quantity of duck meal
from the United States that our rigorous standards require. In order to
address this issue before supply becomes a problem, Natural Balance has
decided to add more fresh duck and potato protein to the Potato &
Duck formula. We have found this adjustment enhances the palatability
and performance of the product, but may lighten the kibble color. We
have been feeding this formula for the last six months to many of our
own Natural Balance pets and it has produced exceptional results. A
very small percentage of dogs with sensitive stomachs may experience a
temporary digestive upset with the formulation change to the Potato
& Duck Formula. For this limited number of dogs, we recommend
feeding smaller, more frequent meals, combined with the old formula (if
available), over a 5 to 7 day period to adjust to the new formula. You
may also try any of our other LID formulas, which include the Sweet
Potato & Fish, Sweet Potato & Venison, or the Lamb & Brown
Rice. Have a good day.
Sincerely,
Kristi Choy, B.S.
