What are the benefits of feeding my dog Natrual Balance dog food, rather than Purina or Pedigree?

Any kind of dog food that is natural provides benefits for your pet, especially over a brand like Purina or Pedigree.
The reasoning for this is that cheaper pet foods contain ash, grain substitutes, and preservatives that aren't good for your pet.
A good way to pick a healthy food is to read the ingredients. The first item listed should be a pure meat, like chicken, lamb, etc. and not chicken meal, or cornmeal. The food should also have vegetables listed in the ingredients.
Some reputable brands are Fromm and Wellness, but I am sure that Natural Balance is a better choice than Purina. A good food choice will extend your pets life and reduce health complications.
Good Luck.

Purina, Pedigree and other store brands are full of cheap fillers such as corn, wheat, soy and by products. It takes up to 3 times more of these low quality foods for a dog to get proper nutrition then it does of a good quality food.

Purnia and Pedigree use the worst ingredients and to many fillers.
Here in Bangkok most vets say go as natural as you can but, read the labels carefully.
Good Luck!
