Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Chicken & Sweet Potato Small Breed Dry Dog Food
Product Description
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Chicken & Sweet Potato Small Breed Bites Recipe is a complete and balanced dry dog food designed specifically for the nutritional needs of small and toy breed dogs. Real chicken is the #1 ingredient and the single source of animal protein, making it ideal for small dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to multiple proteins. The small bite kibble is sized specifically for small jaws and teeth, encouraging proper chewing and making every bite easy and satisfying.
Sweet potatoes provide a grain-free, easily digestible source of dietary fiber and natural energy, while balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from flaxseed and canola oil support healthy skin and a shiny coat. Glucosamine (900 mg/kg) is added for joint health — an important consideration for small breeds that, despite their size, can be prone to joint issues. No corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Third-party tested every batch.
