Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets Green Pea & Duck Dry Cat Food

- No grains such as wheat, barley, rice, or corn.
- New & Improved!

We have recently improved our Green Pea& Duck Formula by adding more fresh duck and pea protein. This improvement enhances the performance of the product, but may lighten the kibble color. This change was made because we have found it increasingly difficult to obtain the quality and quantity of duck meal that our rigorous standards require, therefore we have elected to remove this ingredient. 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.

When starting on this new formula, the change should be made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Green Pea & Duck New & Improved formula. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days.

A very small percentage of cats with sensitive stomachs may experience a temporary digestive upset with the formulation change to the Green Pea & 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.

Available in 5 lb and 10 lb Bags

Gestating and lactating Queens will consume more, usually 1/2 to 2 cups daily.
