Today i was at petco purchasing eukanuba dog food for yorkies when a lady who worked there was helping me get it out of the back of the shelf and was talking to me about dick van pattens natural balance and how eukanuba has by products in them and so i let her talk me into purchasing it and feed it to emmie for the 1 time today and she seemed to have loved it and i didn't have to even hand feed her like i always do did i make the right decision ? (she just turned a year old and weights 3 pounds)

Sure, Natural Balance (NB) is a good food, WAY better than Eukanuba!! Many YT'ers use it very successfully!!! Welcome!!!

Some Natural Balance dry/kibble comes in smaller sizes. The Potato Duck is the first one I can think of. We feed the Boys Natural Balance dry and Merrick canned foods.

I agree, you made a good decision!!

i just transitioned all my kids to NB and they love it!

i was feeding like 3 or 4 different kinds of foods but this - so far! - is working for everyone

Excellent choice! I used NB with Sasha for awhile, but am now changing her to something else.

Emily Grace · 05-06-2009, 05:28 PM

how come your changing her?

We use the food roll as an evening snack, and my yorkies love it. I am feeding Great Life Grain Free kibble 2x's a day. We actually used Evo for 2 days until I got the GLGF in the mail (purchase online only) I think these two foods are great and the food roll for snacks. Eukanuba is definitely not good, glad the saleswoman in Petco told you this :-)

I fed Royal Canin to the boys for 1 year. Their teeth had plaque on them. I tried NB But, The boys would not eat it . I am now feeding Wellness Super 5 mix with deboned chicken. They like the kibble and I just fed them the canned today and they loved it. Eukanuba isn't a real good food and NB gets 5 stars. I think the salegirl gave you great info. Glad you girl likes it.
