Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

I watched you cut it open. The kibble looked smaller than the last brand. Not tiny, but efficient. You seemed nervous about the price, so I decided to be moderately excited to help with your anxiety.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

It smells like actual meat. Not overwhelming. Not chemical. There's chicken in there, maybe some fish. It's honest. I've had premium stuff that smells like perfume trying too hard. This is just... clean. The bag itself smells a little like herbs. I respect that.

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

Yeah. My digestion is better. My coat feels less itchy. I'm not going crazy at the bowl, which means it's not packed with garbage that makes me want to inhale it. Wait, is that the cat eating again? She's not supposed to— anyway. It's genuinely good food.

Dad

I paid thirty-five dollars for this bag. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

It lasts. You're not replacing it every week like that bottom-shelf stuff. The limited ingredient thing actually matters because I don't spend the afternoon itching. So yes. You paid for quality and you got it. Could be worse. Could be better, but I'm not complaining.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

If they have sensitive stomachs, absolutely. If they're normal, they'll be fine. It's not going to blow their minds, but it won't disappoint them either. I'd tell them to get it. Speaking of which, any treats happening right now? I just endorsed your purchase decision and that usually warrants something.
