A great tool for regulating diabetes

Spella

This food is perfect for my Cooper, who has diabetes. It has the highest “good fiber” content of any food I researched which helps regulate glucose. I add a little cooked chicken to boost the protein even higher. It is helping me keep his blood sugar/insulin injections regulated and he is doing great! He was only a pound or two overweight but now down to 30#….perfect for his age and breed. Hope this review might help someone else in this tricky health situation.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Years ago, my vet recommended Fat Dog food for our golden, but I never got it. Now that she has turned into a butterball, I purchased this about 5 months ago, and lo and behold, she has lost 8 pounds!! We give her a half cup of this with a half cup of her other brand, twice a day (two cups total/day) and a few lo-cal snacks and she's a happier dog! She doesn't pant as much and can fly up and down our stairs and hop in the car a lot easier. Her poops have been so healthy and regular, too. Our goal is for her to lose 4 more pounds per her vet's recommendation, but will still use this food to keep her weight down even when she gets down to her good weight. This should be renamed "Happy No Longer Fat Dogs".

Yes, I recommend this product.

This has helped my 8 year old pudgy Lab/Golden Retriever reach a health weight without her feeling starved. She loves this food (okay, she is a Lab) and she doesn't look like a sausage any more

So my vet was skeptical about the type of food we were feeding our beagle mix; so we pulled up the nutritional panel on line and she said it was a good choice. Our dog loves this dry food. She has lost weight but was also put on medication for hypo thyroid. So a good portion of her weight loss is probably related to treating her thyroid. But still happy with what nutrition she is taking in.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Hate the name, love the high fiber food!

Our 7.5 year old yellow lab is of healthy weight. He’s very active (hiking, swimming, playing, etc) with significant muscle mass and requires high protein. The high fiber content in this food has made ALL the difference in his digestive health. We just hate that it insinuates that only fat dogs are appropriate for this food, because that’s not the case at all. I don’t know what we would do if this was discontinued. I’ve never been able to find a dry food with this much fiber elsewhere.

Yes, I recommend this product.

How many cups of food are in 11lb bag? 

    Just started my dog on this food this week, so she's only getting a little mixed with her current food. But wow, she loves it. The ingredients are awesome. But I do not see phosphorus listed with the calcium, which is important.

      My Lhasa apso male has had problems expressing his glands since he was 1 yrs old now he is 3. Vet suggested putting him on fat dog food because of the high fiber content. He needs to be on a high fiber diet,but was wondering if he is get enough protein?

      1. My dog has thyroid problems, this helps his weight and digests well. I'd take the ingredients to your vet for review.



      My vet wants to know the Kcal in the dog food I select to tell me how much to feed my dog.  I don’t see this information on your labeling.  Can you give me this information?

      1. On the bag label it shows 3070 kcal/kg and 315 kcal/8 oz cup



      What is the Natural Balance Fat Dogs calorie count?

      1. On the bag it states: Calorie Content (calculated): (ME) = 3020 kcal/kg; 300 kcal/cup



      My vet recommended a prescription dog food called Royal Canin Satiety Support formula. It is almost 6x the amount as this in price . Will this work like the one suggested I use?

      1. This dog food does help with weight loss. I have 3 chihuahua terrier mix that were extremely overweight 20lbs, 22lbs, 22lbs which caused Patella Luxation. I was able to drop their weight to 11 lbs, 12 lbs, 12.5 lbs.. My vet said to feed them 2x a day; morning and evening before 6:30pm; 1/3 cup dry food with 3 tbsp wet can food (if you use wet can food). This is the only formula that has worked on keeping their weight down and have not had any problems with their Patella.



      I’m noticing that several dog food manufacturers have recalled products, because of either dangerous vitamin D levels or bean/pea ingredients that can cause serious health issues. Is there any reason for me to worry about my dog eating this food?

      1. Please know that Natural Balance Pet Foods does not have any safety issues or current recalls. With this being said, our Customer Care Team is more than happy to speak with you, in detail, regarding your concerns and can be reached directly at 800-829-4493. Thank you!



      Can I use this food if my dog needs to be on a low fat diet after recovering from pancreatitis

      I would love to put my Golden Retriever on this food because she needs to lose weight but she has been on a grain free diet due to allergies since she was 3. Is this food grain free? I was not sure what the "fiber" was. Thanks...

      1. Please know that the Fat Dog dry dog formula is not a grain free formula. The Natural Balance Customer Care Team would be happy to help find a lower calorie grain free formula that may fit what your dog needs and they can be reached at 800-829-4493. Thank you!
