09-08-2025I just finished writing a review for the canned cat food in the same brand, so some of my review will be repeated, as far as results, etc.My kitty absolutely LOVES this food, and she is pretty finicky. I started her on Hill's Science Diet canned food,but honestly, I think she'd rather starve than eat that! I had to give that away rather than just continuing to throw away the un-eaten portion (90% of it) , She also got Nutro All-Natural dry food and liked that okay but definitely likes this better.She is just over 5 months old, so she gets this food in unlimited amount (as much as she wants, always available) along with about 1/3 of a 6-oz can twice daily of Natural Balance canned food Natural Balance Canned Cat Food, Ultra Formula, 24 x 6 Ounce PackSince switching from previous food (Hills Science DIet canned kitten food and Nutro Natural dry kitten food) her coat has gotten shinnier/glossier - just silky and so plush, she is lean and PURE muscle (heavier than she looks and SO strong!), very, very active, and vet said she looks amazing! (she is a rescue kitten, having been left at our local pound at about 2 weeks old, without her mother.... GRRrr!! She came very close to being euthanized... Thank goodness for our local cat-rescue shelter!) She had to be bottle-fed for several weeks - one of her litter-mates didn't survive). Now she looks (and obviously feels) GLORIOUS, and I am SO happy to have found this food that she adores, and that is high-quality and GREAT for her, without being terribly overpriced! HIGHLY recommended!It is a bit more expensive than some other foods, but looking at her level of health, high activity level, and beautiful coat, I think it is worth it. I was hesitant to try this food, since it doesn't specifically say "formulated for kittens" (it does say it meets the nutritional needs of cats at all ages/life-stages) but it is definitely helping her grow strong and healthy. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE having it delivered free in 2 days! (Prime)UPDATE: Our kitten is about 6 months old now, and though I've had cats all my life, I have NEVER had a cat as STRONG and muscular as this one, and I believe much of that is due to this food being so superior to previous foods I have fed other cats. Tinkerbell is incredibly active and healthy!

09-08-2025I love Natural Balance. It's my preferred food of choice, for cats.I have several cats, and the oldest one had his fifth birthday a few months ago. He has been fed Natural Balance since he was a kitten. Following suit, any cats that I have fostered, or adopted, subsequent his adoption as a two-and- a-half month old kitten, have been fed Natural Balance. Although I do feed pregnant cats, and kittens four months of age and under, a different brand of cat food, I generally switch them to Natural Balance Original Ultra once the kittens are completely weened and/or the Queens are no longer nursing.There are several different blends of Natural Balance cat food, catering towards a cat's dietary needs as well as preferences for taste and texture. My cats like the Original Ultra. I like it too because, though it is adult cat food, it is "Kittens To Adults" so, it is suitable for kittens as well. This is helpful when I am fostering, since all of the cats must eat the same food. However, Natural Balance does make a kitten-specific food. I started my cat on that, and then switched him over to the Original Ultra when he turned a year old. Natural Balance also makes a wet food that is complimentary to the dried. My cats like that too.I would definitely recommend Natural Balance Original Ultra cat food. It is an excellent brand of food that covers all areas of a cat's health and is very gentle on their digestive systems. It's not made of junk and fillers, like most cat foods on the market.I have several cats, and am on a budget. I go through about four 15lbs bags a month. I get several bags through Amazon Subscribe and Save, and usually order the others that I need either from Amazon, Chewy, or I purchase them from the local pet store.

09-08-2025I have two cats. One is 11 years old and one is 5 years old. The older cat was frequently getting sick. Apart from throwing up, she acted totally normal.After researching what could be wrong the diagnosis that most closely aligned with her symptoms was a developed food allergy.I did some research and Natural Balance came highly recommended from multiple veterinarian websites. I groaned at the price and ordered the first bag. When it arrived, I opened it and gave both my cats one bite and they gobbled it up like it was a treat!I slowly replaced the cat food my cats haven't been on their entire lives with this food. The results were amazing.My cat went from throwing up 5 to 6 times a week to not throwing up at all. Since making the switch, both cats act like kittens. They have more energy and I can tell they're just happier. They also love the taste!As an FYI, I changed the food by mixing it in as follows (pay attention to your cats if making a switch. If they seem lethargic from a new food, maybe cut back to 10% or 15% increments):Day 1: 75% old food, 25% Natural BalanceDay 2: 50% old food, 50% Natural BalanceDay 3: 25% old food, 75% Natural BalanceDay 4: 100% Natural BalanceIt's expensive compared to 9 lives, but it's worth every penny!
