"We had been feeding Rupert Hills Science diet but we were concerned about the lack of real meat in the ingredients. We wanted to try Natural Balance and were very pleased that the ingredients were a better fit. More money but the outcome in Rupert's health was worth it!"

— Tammy

"After opening the box and pulling the food out I first noticed some kibble in the box and after careful searching I finally found the slit in the bag. I would like a refund since I can’t feed this to my dogs now."

Bottom Line

If quality is consistent and the customer service is supportive it could be an ok buy
