Testimonials
I just found out my 12 year old cat has pre diabetes and your Natural Balance® Chicken and Liver Paté Formula was recommended on a feline diabetes website. She loves it! And her glucose has gone down 135 points in 10 days on that, so hopefully it will go down another 50-100 points by this week. If so, I'm a loyal fan for life! Thanks so much, Felicia Libo
NelliePenelope has had herpes in one eye from birth, which has caused her to be very sensitive to foods and stress (and she is a very emotional girl). She has had it inflamed twice and the series of daily drops and meds to get it back under control are very hard on her as well as very expensive. In order to keep her condition at bay, I need to feed her L-Lysine supplement twice a day - but it has been nearly impossible to get her to eat it powdered in canned food, as she can always tell it's there. Then I tried Natural Balance® Duck & Green Pea allergy canned Formula. She purrs while I mix her food and eats it right up! It's the only canned food she will eat, and it keeps her very healthy and happy! Thanks you SO much! Palmdale, CA
TitiDear Mr. Van Patten and friends at Natural Balance, Our 19 years old siamese, Titi, was loosing her battle with food intolerance this summer. She had lost so much weight, she barely weighed over a pound !! She still managed to purr and fill our lives with love... for years, she barely tolerated her other diets,being sick several times a day.Being a nurse myself, I was quite sad about being unable to help her. As much as we love her, we were ready to let her go. Coming over for a visit, my son Dave brought a can of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Cat Canned Formula, just in case....We started with half a teaspoon twice a day, which she devoured and kept !!! Six months and a couple of pounds later, Titi is still with us, happier, plumpier, and with a shinier coat than ever before. She rebounds with energy, and till purrs with love, eating one and a half can a day. Her kidney function has dramatically improved as well. My children Dave and Meghan and I would like to thank you profusely for caring, and creating such a wonderful line of cat foods. Your dedication helps humans keep their furry friends around longer, with a much improved quality of life. Attached is a photographic proof of her favorite box, Mrs Christiane Ruel - Ontario, Canada.
I want to let you know that you have the best cat food on the market! I have been a faithful customer of IAMS for years. I have two elderly "ladies" that have tender tummies and a 5 month old kitten. Since I have been feeding them your Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Cat Canned Formula I have noticed a remarkable improvement in all of them. The ladies have not thrown up in the past week and the kitten has more energy than I have ever witnessed before. I don't get excited about products anymore. Guess I've been bombarded by corporate americas promises that are never delivered. You have a product that speaks for itself. My Husband and I tell everyone that have pets about your product. I also belong to a couple of pet message boards and I noticed I am not the only one that is excited about your product. Next Monday I take the kitten in for neutering and I will bring a complimentary can in for our vet. He only sells Science Diet but I feel Vets need to start adding your product to their shelves. Especially for kitties that are allergies. I just can't say enough about your product! If I could personally shake Mr. Van Patten's hand it would be a memorable moment. Oh and I forgot to add, thank you so much for your fast personal response to my questions. Most people would have redirected me back to the website, since I should have found one of the answers on your site, but you were kind, courtieous, and personable. I hope they keep you around for a long time. It is truly a pleasure dealing with your company. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Your biggest fan, Michelle Reed

After my two tabbies turned their noses up at the "new and improved" Iams formula, I started desperately searching for another, maybe even healthier, canned cat food that they would eat. After trying numerous other brands with no success, I finally happened upon a small pet store in our city who carried Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Canned Cat Formula. What did I have to lose? The old Iams formula I had stocked up on was running low. So I bought a can of Natural Balance in each flavor. Well, in the last two days, without much hesitation or coaxing, my kitties have enjoyed both the Ocean Fish and Salmon canned foods. And we know how picky cats can be! We are now eagerly looking forward to trying the Turkey & Giblets. Since one tabby has an irritable bowel, and the other has early kidney issues, we are so thankful we found you! Keep up the good work! Dana Meanor, Ozzie & Moe
Your cat food has saved our cat's life. Marshmallow is 17-1/2 years and two months ago, she stopped eating. I tried desperately to find something, anything, that she would want to eat. I bought single cans and packets of every different cat food on the market. Marshmallow's interest was peaked at times, but she wouldn't eat the same food twice. It became a full-time job trying to get food down her every day. Then yesterday, I discovered Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Cat Canned Formulas for the first time at Petco. I bought a can. It was MAGIC. Marshmallow devoured the entire can over the course of the day... even licking the bowl clean. I can't ever remember her doing that! Today, I bought more. And again, she ate the whole portion with enthusiasm. We know Marshmallow is dying. The vet confirmed that. But she is not in pain and she still jumps and purrs and watches the birds and enjoys every day with us. And now she's EATING! I don't know how or why your cat food is different, but it OBVIOUSLY is! And that means that because of Natural Balance, we will get the gift of spending just a little MORE time with our beloved pet. We are SO grateful. Andrea Weiner
Austin and ReggieI wanted to tell you about my 13 year old cat. He was very sick for a few months and only weighed 8.5 lbs. I had been advised by the vet to feed him Kidney Food as his kidneys are slowing down. He didn't like the food! He has all his life been on RX Diet RD & CD, and recently KD. Well, after seeing another vet, he said "Feed him whatever he wants! Just fatten him up!" Well since our dog Austin eats Natural balance, we said "Let's try it for Reg." He eats a can of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Canned Cat Food a day and has gained 1.5 lbs and the best thing of all, he has incredible energy! He races through the house, wants us to play with his fishing pole toy so he can run and jump! I just want to thank you for a great product! We will be celebrating Reggie's 14th birthday soon and I hope many, many more! Sue and Greg Ochs, Kirkland, WA
KitkatI'm just emailing as I did so when I first got my little cat last April. He was pulled filthy dirty and starving at 3 months old from a flooded storm drain here in Singapore. He is now the beautiful, healthy and affectionate boy that you can see in the picture. He has been reared on Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Canned Cat Food and you can see the results! He was never meant to be a feral as he is so incredibly loving and playful and a happy indoor kitty! (As you can imagine, he kept the collar on for about 5 seconds! Just long enough to pose!) Many thanks for a great product. Berenice Hickey - Singapore

This is Kitkat, Wussie and Magic, who were found in storm drains by the SPCA in very poor condition as kittens. They were dirty with weeping eyes and noses. They're now about a year old and have grown up on Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Canned Cat Food. As you can see, KitKat is absolutely in peak health with a snow white, thick and beautiful coat and sparkling eyes! Wussie and Magic's coats are glossy and thick, eyes shine and they are so full of energy and playfulness! Many thanks for your wonderful products! Thanks you for such an excellent product! I will never feed my cats anything else! Berenice Hickey - Singapore
LuckyDear Dick Van Patten, I have been a fan of yours since "Eight Is Enough", but now, you have my undying gratitude for developing Natural Balance® Indoor Cat Canned Formula. My cat, Lucky, is 11 1/2 years old and has had trouble all his life with keeping canned cat food down. He also can't eat dry cat food because that really causes him to throw up. His mother had abandoned him for dead back in 1994 and I found him and nursed him back to health. Perhaps, that is why he's had these problems. I have tried EVERY brand of canned cat food there is. Totally by accident, I discovered YOUR brand and, since Lucky is totally an "Indoor Cat", I decided to give it a try. He's insane over the taste and is eating almost 2 cans a day (he weighs approx. 9 lbs) WITHOUT THROWING ANY OF IT UP!! This is like a miracle for me. All I can say to you is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Take care and God Bless. Warmest regards, Jeannie G. Johnson, NY
