Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula was designed for dogs with allergies caused by intolerances to common food ingredients such as meat or dairy products. Vegetarian Formula provides adult dogs with the same essential nutrients found in diets with meat as the protein source. Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula is for all breeds of adult dogs.
Some dogs may be highly sensitive to commonly used animal proteins, carbohydrates and food additives in their diet. Allergic reactions can lead to irritable bowel, upset stomach, and a number of skin problems. Natural Balance has created Vegetarian Formula for dogs with these food allergies. The Vegetarian Formula combines special non-meat proteins along with effective natural ingredients to help rebuild the dog's immune system.
