Hello all. Does anyone feed their cat Natural Balance? Can anyone provide feedback pertaining to this cat food? I'm thinking of putting my 3-month-old Ocicat on it but I've never heard any good or bad things about it.

Imo it is one of the better foods out there. When I was researching various foods as the nutrition advisor here, it is one I often recommended

Why only a B rating?

I give very few foods an A rating... Natural Balence gets the same as I the food I feed Zoey... NB is a solid food I personally dont like the oil used and a few other nit picky things like the dry neither cat would touch other than the Venison formula/// If kitty will eat you have found a solid food

Jamie likes the Natural Balance dry ( NB canned isn't sold on this side of the Pond), and hasn't had any allergy issues with it, so I'm quite pleased with it.

We fed our cats that for a while, its great premium food, but our vet wasnt too happy, she really never heard of it so shwe asked us to move them to science diet. It great! they have this new Natural stuff that had tuna and veggied in it and my cats love it alot. They only eat dry cuz if I fee can on aregular basis they get tummy problems.

We mix the regular science diet kitten food with the natural science diet and they like it like that. SOmetimes we add Natural Balance to change it, or Eukanuba. But really, science diet did wonders for their fur and shedding.

I just switched over to Natural Balance dry over 3 weeks ago after feeding my 3 indoor cats Solid Gold dry for 4 years. My cats will not eat wet food
My 3 cats love NB and I am seeing an improvement in all their coats from the Omega 6 and 3 that is in the food
I just bought another bag of Natural Balance today and recommend it
I would give it an A- grade

I agree..........LOL........it would cost you a small fortune
Just make sure you feed your furchildren healthy foods only
I only have 3
I pay $11.00 + tax for a 6.6 pound bag and feel it is chump change to feed my furchildren a high quality all natural food. I wish that I could eat high quality food in a natural people food form for this kinda money......LOL!

How long does it take for 13 cats to eat a 15 pound Bag? Just curious.........a 15 pound bag would last me about 5 weeks with 3 full grown cats
