PRODUCT INFORMATION

Veg DogNatural Balance® Vegetarian Formula was designed for dogs with allergies caused by an intolerance to common food ingredients such as meat or dairy products. Our Vegetarian Formula provides adult dogs with the same essential nutrients found in diets with meat as the protein source. Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula is for all breeds of adult dogs.

Some dogs may be highly sensitive to commonly used animal proteins, carbohydrates and food additives in their diet. Allergic reactions can lead to irritable bowel, upset stomach, and a number of skin problems. Natural Balance® has created Vegetarian Formula for dogs with these food allergies. Our Vegetarian Formula combines special non-meat proteins along with effective natural ingredients to help rebuild the dog's immune system.

A TRUE Vegan Formula Contains no dairy products or products derived from trace amounts of meat or dairy sources.

Brown Rice Rice grain with the bran portion intact, an excellent source of carbohydrates. Contains increased levels of B vitamins.

Oatmeal An exceptional source of: carbohydrates, fiber, thiamin and vitamin E. Not widely used in pet food because of cost.

Green Peas An excellent source for B complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin A, protein, carbohydrates and fiber.

Fresh Potatoes Single premium quality carbohydrates, rich in potassium and highly digestible energy source.

No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors or Colors.

FEEDING MANAGEMENT

DaisyWe recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. When switching your dog's diet, the change should be made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Vegetarian Formula. The change should be completed after 3 to 5 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!

The Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended in the Table. Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions, temperature and activity of your dog. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your dog’s needs.

Working Dogs Based on the work your dog will be asked to perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly. As the work load increases, the demand for protein and fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training will generally require twice the maintenance levels.

The Older Dog As your dog 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 dog.

Testimonials
I have an eight year old Chocolate Lab named Buster. He has had recurring skin allergies. I was concerned with the constant treatment of steroids and their effects. My vet, Dr. Kevin Brightbill, suggested a vegetarian dog food. After 3 weeks on Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula, I was able to take Buster off steroids and his allergies have cleared up. My vet was amazed and pleased. We will both recommend your food to other pet owners with the same problems. Thank you so much for this wonderful product. I have also purchased some of your dog treats and Buster loves them. Sincerely, Martha Dressler
I rescued a Boston Terrier/Bulldog mix. He suffered from chronic nausea and required a high daily dose of Reglan and Non-Allergy Science Diet, still throwing up at least once a day. I thought he might not be digesting all the dry food in his stomach so I switched him to a mostly wet foot diet with great results. Being vegan myself, I decided to try Natural Balance® Vegetarian Formula for my other dog, a pit bull mix. He liked it and of course my Boston mix got into it. I was afraid the nausea would return but it did not. In fact, the chronic nausea has been completely reversed and he no longer requires Reglan or wet food. He can eat as much of the Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula as he wants with no stomach trouble at all. Now we BOTH feel better. Thank you for such a superior product. C. Schilloff
