Be sure to read to the end for the $100 Visa gift card sweepstakes. Did you know there are harmful contaminants in most pet food? This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given the garbage they put in people food. And worse, your pets can’t tell you when something is wrong. They are 100% counting on you to give them the best care and food for their precious bodies. When Natural Balance® wanted to educate me on the nine harmful things in pet food, I was pretty enthusiastic to learn. My dog, cat, and kid are the most important things in my daily life. I always want to give them the best I can: this means food, too. Educating yourself on safety and quality is the first step in giving your pets the best. The best is a “Natural Balance” on sound principles and nutritional truths. But, before I tell you about the best you can give your pet, let me tell you about my little babe Noreen the Queen the Cuddle Machine.
Noreen the Queen the Cuddle Machine
So many people ask us, “why Noreen?”. Ha, it’s a funny name isn’t it? I like to say she was a 50’s hamburger joint waitress in her previous life, but the truth is we named her after the deli where she was found. 
That’s right, Noreen (all 9 lbs. of her) is a rescue dog. Found at just four (super teenie weenie) weeks old roaming the parking lot next to a busy road, Noreen was near death by starvation. She was no bigger than the palm of my hand. A rescue was not even a question. And the rest is history. A history of being one of the smartest, most loyal and sweetest canines I’ve ever known. And yes, she’s an epic cuddle monster. Life without her would be so bland. Coming home from our travels, or even just from daily errands, she is a joy and the love of our lives. I lost my last rescue Yorkie to Cushing’s Syndrome and it was heartbreaking. I vowed to ALWAYS give my pets the best food I could find. It’s the least I can do for unconditional love. That’s why giving her a high quality, healthy balanced and natural diet is a must. We want to have her around forever. When I found out Natural Balance tests for nine harmful things in every batch of their Natural Balance food I was like “wait, there’s harmful things?”. Yeah…
