Product Description
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Lamb & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food is one of the most veterinarian-recommended limited ingredient diets on the market — a trusted, grain-inclusive formula that has been supporting dogs with food sensitivities for over 30 years. Real lamb is the #1 ingredient and the single source of animal protein, providing essential amino acids to support lean muscle mass. Whole-grain brown rice delivers natural dietary fiber for healthy digestion, while balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids nourish skin and coat from the inside out.
With no corn, wheat, soy, gluten ingredients, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, every bowl is as clean and transparent as a dog food can get. Because Natural Balance uses a single animal protein source, pet parents can easily identify exactly what goes into their dog's body — making it ideal for elimination diets and managing food allergies under veterinary guidance.
