Note: These feeding guidelines are suggested only, feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate.
We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your cat’s health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!

The Adult Cat Adult cats should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® dry cat food, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended in the Table. Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions, temperature and activity of your cat. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your cat’s needs. If you would like to provide a special treat for your cat, you can add small amounts of Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food.

The Older Cat As your cat begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for less active cat. Older cats are sometimes more reluctant to eat hard foods. Adding larger amounts of Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food will make the most "finicky" eater enjoy their daily meals.

FEEDING MANAGEMENT

Testimonials
BoI just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for making such a great pet food. I have been feeding my kitty the Natural Balance® Reduced Calorie Cat Dry Formula for some time now (after carefully researching quality brands) and I am very impressed. Not only does she love it, but she is incredibly healthy. A while back, I was in a pinch and picked up another "premium" brand (I won't mention the name) and she packed on the pounds after just one bag of it. I made sure to get some Natural Balance and she was so eager that she actually ripped open the bag! The fat dropped and she is slim and as healthy as ever. I have actually been told that my cat is the healthiest looking one they have ever seen. I tell every cat owner I meet about your wonderful product. It isn't even that easy for me to get! I mean, I could get Iams at the grocery store, but we all know that is bad news! Doesn't matter, I make the trek to Pet Valu. I also find it very reasonably priced, especially given that my little girl (only about 7 lbs) takes about 2 months to go through a bag. I know that this is because of the quality of your product -- she does not need to eat as much of it, which also helps to keep her slim. I have enclosed a picture of Bo. Thanks again! Mandy Koroniak
I just have to say that I'm thrilled to have found Natural Balance brand foods. I have 4 cats who eat the Natural Balance® Reduced Calorie Cat Formula and get all flavors of the 3oz. cans as treats. They all have beautiful coats and are all at a perfect weight. When we adopted our first dog, I immediately knew to start her on Natural Balance. We adopted a recing greyhound who had been on the track for a long time. When we got her, she was shedding, flakey, and smelled. 7 months later, her coat is soft and shiny, she very rarely sheds, and her flakes are getting to be less and less. We soon adopted another greyhound and they both now go crazy for a mixture of Ultra Premium, Sweet Potato and Fish, and the Organic formulas. Their favorite treats are the Bison, Pearled Barley, and Blueberry biscuits and they've recently been introduced to the wonderful food rolls. We're big fans of Natural Balance and I just wanted to say thank you for such great products. - Lindsey Macomber

I had to write in to tell you how pleased I am with your Natural Balance® Reduced Calorie Cat Dry Formula for cats. I have the pleasure of being owned by 5 cats. Gidget is almost 16 and I have had her since she was a baby, as I had her Mama, and the other 4 are 3 year old siblings, Curly Tail, Napoleon, Cleo and Molly. I rescued them from the pound when they were 8 weeks old. Gidget has suffered from arthritis and was slightly overweight for the past year or so and since being on your food she seems to have dropped a little weight and she can now jump up into her favorite chair to sleep. She hadn't been able to do that in a while. As for the babies, no matter what I did they were getting fatter and fatter, especially Curly Tail who was almost 15 pounds! I was feeding them what I thought was a high quality food 3 times a day because they seemed to be ALWAYS hungry. Every time I got up and went into the kitchen, they screamed for food. They even woke me up at 7 am just to get fed, so exhausting! I asked my Vet and his suggestion was Science Diet but he said that cats don't like it, so what next? I decided to stop at Petco to see what they had to offer and one of the Managers sent over their 'expert'. She recommended your Low Calorie food and said she absolutely loves it. Well I share her enthusiasm, IT'S GREAT!! Their fur is softer and they don't shed so much, AND they don't EAT as much. They even stopped waking me up in the morning to get fed. What a relief that is! Thank you soooo much. Thanks again for such a wonderful product!! Robynn - Dallas Texas
