Overall, this is a good pet food for cats. Although the brand was on the FDA recall list in 2007, the company now has a strict safety-testing program in place, so production is strictly monitored. For pet owners who are worried about their cat’s carbohydrate intake, the grain-free formulas may be the best option. The addition of ingredients like oat flour, brown rice, and brewer’s yeast in some of the blends could be hard for some cats to digest. The only downside about this food is that it contains high levels of carbohydrates. Moreover there are added vitamins and minerals for a balanced diet. In addition, the blends contain healthy vegetables such as carrots, peas, potatoes, and spinach. Both the dry and wet foods contain high levels of quality proteins like chicken meal, chicken, salmon meal, lamb meal, and duck meal. For the most part, the company has succeeded. Actor Dick Van Patten created the company in 1989 in an effort to create healthy and nutritious pet food. Natural Balance Cat Food is an average cat food brand when it comes to nutrients, taste and cost.
