Yes, from what I have found only white potatoes are used in both canned and dry Natural Balance. My schnauzer also has severe allergies and the duck and white potatoes have been very successful. I do give him sweet potato and venison treats. He gets a little gassy from the sweet potatoes but not enough to take them out of his diet. I also have him on a special non-cortisone anti-itch med, antihistamine, special shampoo and leave-in conditioner actually prescribed for him by a allergy vet specialist. The duck and potato food was specifically prescribed by my vet. Hope this helps.

My pit has all kinds, of allergys. No chicken, turkey, corn, peas,eggs. So, I feed her Natural Balance duck & potatoes. She lives on Natural Balance pet food, and, loves them all.I tried salmon, but, it smelled too strong. Now, she gets venison and sweet potatoes.

My dog cannot eat chicken. There is chicken in a lot of dog food and cookies. My vet put her on duck and potato and she does very well. There are several brands out with just these two ingredients but I have been pleased with Natural Balance both canned and dry.

Wow, that is very odd. My dog is fine with this food, but is fussy from time to time so I switch it up with PRIMAL FORMULA brand, and also give the Stella's Surf and Turf and the chicken. Why not call the phone number on the package for more information from the company' maybe they could shed some light on it.

We found that Cocoa seemed to get diarrhea. Not completely sure that was the food. We switched and that made things better. We now use a very good quality food that she enjoys: Instinct Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, Chicken Meal Formula. Expensive but Amazon has it available with Prime and Subscribe & Save. By the way, five items with Subscribe and Save and you save 15%. Nice when regularly buying expensive dog food.

My dog has severe allergies to many things especially grain so this has worked very well for her. There are a lot of no grain choices out there now though. Its a personal choice.

I buy L-Lysine tablets, crush the contents in the food processor and give her 1/4 teaspoon with 3 0z of water in her dry food, per her vet's advice. She eats it without a problem.

none listed. inactive ingredients listed are: Brewers Dried Yeast, fish oil, flaxseed meal, Glycerin, lecithin, natural flavoring, oat groats, rice flour, sorbic acid, vegetable oil and wheat germ. Unsure what the "natural flavoring" is. My dogs tolerate it well and it seems to help quite a bit.

Hi. I got a response from the manufacturer. Robert said, "the contents of the pack are non-toxic. I have attached the msds to this email. Please provide this info to your vet, but your dog should be fine this has happened many times before." The ingredients are: Mon Propylene GlycolCross-linked Acrylamide and potassium acrylate copolymer. There is no first aid information on the MSDS for ingestion. If you want me to send the MSDS to you, please provide your email address to me and I will forward the message to you. I hope your dog is doing well now.

In the Ingredients it lists "Potatoes, safflower and/or sunflower oil", and that's the list. It also says "Non-GMO ingredients" and "Gluten free". Can't find anything else on it... Hope this helps...

Sorry I can't answer your question, as I don't use the food anymore.Because if food allergies, I now feed my dog Royal Canin Veterinary Diet.

I have mostly put in yogurt based products. Applesauce (not too thick) seems to work ok. I have found anything with a runny texture and no chunks will work fine. You may just need to put the sweet potatoes in a blender or food processor and add more liquid to it to make it smooth and runny. I've run into the same issue as you with these. I have to admit I like refillable pouches better for this exact reason.

They so contain what starch but claim to be gluten free. As they are made in the USA, by a reliable company, I woyld phone them before ordering. I purchased a nesco food dehydrator amd make many healthy treats for my 80 lb poodle with it. Though they are dehydrated, I store them in the freezer as they have no preservatives. I cook and grind chicken then add broth, oatmeal, eggs, cheese, peanut butter,blueberries, whatever she likes. This way I can control the ingredients. Often I just slice chicken really thin and stick it in the dehydrator. If your dog likes can have cream cheese, I stuff it inside a hollow bone and freeze it. Keeps her busy for a while.

I dont have this food now, but it does have Barley in it. No corn, wheat or soy. Honestly, the best food for dogs is a raw diet. I've switched my dogs to the diet and they are all doing so well. No itching at all and their poos are tiny. I used Big Dog Natural. Its available online. Its dehydrated, no grains of any kind. You mix it with hot water.

Kong sells some (including cheese that squirts from a can, I think), but I've never used them. All I ever use is peanut butter and kibble stuffed into peanut butter. I used cream cheese the other day but wouldn't recommend it because my puppy had diarrhea after that. :(

Not according to the instructions on my bag. I did not. I cook sweet potatoes because they taste better and they are much healthier for you.
