Is Natural Balance dog food good? Why are stools bigger with wet food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 17 lbs

Is natural balance dry and canned food a good brand without a lot of fillers? Would this brand cause larger stools because of the potatoes? When I gave the dry food it was fine but when I gave the canned her stool seemed slightly bigger. Is this ok?

Most of Natural Balance's foods are limited ingredient or high-quality ingredients, so they should be fine to feed. If you've transitioned recently from dry to wet it may be that the higher amount of liquid in the wet diet is increasing the stool volume slightly. As long as it isn't runny, discolored, or distressful to Chloe when she goes potty, this is fine.
