Natural Balance L.I.D. Reserve Grain-Free Sweet Potato & Bison Recipe Dry Dog Food
Product Description
For dogs who need to move well beyond the usual chicken or beef proteins, Natural Balance's Reserve Sweet Potato & Bison Recipe offers a genuinely novel option built around a single source of animal protein: real bison.

Feeding Instructions
Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When first transitioning to this recipe, start with the amounts recommended on the packaging, adjusting as needed to maintain your dog's ideal body condition. Energy requirements vary based on environmental conditions, temperature, and activity level. Keep fresh water available at all times, and see your veterinarian regularly.
When switching your pet's diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 7-10 day period. Replace 25% of the current diet with the new diet every 2-3 days until they are fully transitioned. A slow transition helps avoid digestive upset and gives your pet time to adjust to the new recipe.
Why We Love It
This Reserve-line recipe exists for the dogs that standard limited ingredient diets don't quite solve for; ones with sensitivities to the more typical proteins found on most pet food shelves. Bison gives owners a genuinely different option to rotate in or rely on long-term. Made in the USA and backed by Natural Balance's Feed With Confidence testing program, so every bag is verified before it ships.
Caution
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep fresh water available at all times. Please see packaging for the complete AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement.
