Natural Balance Super Premium Dry Food

[Lab_Rat]

After having my RR girl on RC Exclusive Protein dry food (for protein allergies) for about 6-8months I thought I would try a new dry food. She will refuse the RC food at certain times (like when she is having her phantom pregnancies ), and rather than having to mix it with something yummy, but not all that nutritious, I decided it was time to look round for something else that would suit her.

Being allergic/intolerant to beef, chicken and roo I needed to find a dry food for her that was not based on those meats. I found this food, which is made locally in Freo, at the same place I buy my RC. It is slightly cheaper than RC as well, which is helpful. But the best thing is its Lamb based :p . It also has rice and corn products in it, but no wheat or other grains. They also use decent anti-oxidants/preservatives.

I am also trying the kelpie on it. She has been on Optimum - which is fine, but I'm sick of buying two types of dog food! She has also been eating the RC dry food, so I can get through it faster. She loves the RC .

They both like this new food, the RR will eat it form my hand, dry............wont eat other dry food like this. Havent had any tummy upsets yet, but its only been two days!

Does anyone else use this dry food? What are your thoughts, experiences with it?

I only bought 3kg of it, and if they are okay on it - no diarrhea, etc. I will get a decent sized bag next shopping trip.

I am also feeding lamb mince, veges and chicken wings(sparingly!) to the ridgeback. I notice if she has too much chicken or even beef she starts to rub her mouth and chin on her front paws, and the poos end up a bit loose.

How different are duck or turkey to chicken? Anyone used these?
