The product? Wonderful. The bags? Terrible.
Thank you, Ashley, for leaving us a five-star review! While we're thrilled that you find our product wonderful, we're sorry to learn that the packaging has not worked as well for you.
The CRC (child-resistant closure) bags we currently use remain the best available solution for regulatory/legal requirements and environmental concerns. While they are crucial for safety compliance, we acknowledge they may inherently pose challenges in terms of ease of use for some. This special packaging requirement protects against accidental ingestion of all of the contents at once by a child.
Your feedback is appreciated, and we will certainly take it into account for future improvements.
So far so good, I introduced it to my cats ground venison recipe in increments, so not to overwhelm them. The staff at
Balace It is wonderfully helpful.
Thank you for your kind words, Katherine. We're delighted to hear that you had a 'wonderful' experience with our Customer Care Team. Please feel free to reach out to us again at info@balanceit.com if you have any questions about your recipes. We hope your cats continue to do well and enjoy their homemade meals.
My senior cat has been on a few different prescription diets & is a relatively picky eater. She just started her home cooked diet with Balance It about a month ago and she LOVES it. We’ll see if it helps her skin and GI tract, but like that we can adjust the protein type as necessary to suit a diet trial.
Katie, thank you for your 'great' review of Balance It® Carnivore Blend® and our free Recipe Builder ( balance.it/recipes ). It's wonderful to hear that your senior cat has been loving her new home-cooked food!
We hope it continues to be a success for you both.
My kitty has pancreatitus was turning her face at just about everything I put in front of her until my vet recommended Balance It. I had to experiment with a few recipes then hit the one she loves and soothes her tummy. Now I feel comfortable knowing she is getting proper nutrition too. Thank you.
Thank you.
You're very welcome. And thank you, Rhonda, for your second review of one of our products! It's wonderful to hear that you've created a recipe using our free Recipe Builder ( https://balance.it/recipes ) that Minnie loves and has responded positively to.
We hope she continues to feel her best!
No complaints on the service or the product.
Just the increase in price, and the increase in shipping costs.

Thank you for the five-star review of Balance It® Carnivore Blend®, Thomas. It's great to hear about your positive experience with both the product and our dedicated Customer Care (CC) Team.
Since 2005, Balance It® has consistently strived to keep prices as low as possible while never compromising product quality and safety. As a result, we have continued to grow, but have also incurred sustained and significant cost increases for raw materials, employee wages and benefits, insurance, software development, cGMP certifications, third-party product testing, and shipping as well as above average rates of inflation especially in recent years. In light of this, we have worked very hard to improve our efficiency to minimize necessary price increases. For more information on this, please visit our FAQ 'Why did your prices increase?' found at https://balance.it/faqs .
Upon reviewing your order history dating back to 2021, we noticed that all of your purchases were shipped using our complimentary shipping method. Therefore, we're uncertain about the reference to an 'increase in shipping costs.'
Any shipping charges/fees for orders (expedited or international) are calculated, displayed, and collected at checkout. We always honor this charge when paid, even if the actual shipping rate Balance It® is later charged by the carrier is greater when your order is shipped.
Should you have any queries or require further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@balanceit.com. We appreciate your ongoing support of Balance It®!
Balance IT has been part of Hucks (Yorkie) diet for the past six years. Having been diagnosed with BD he had to have a fat free diet. The vet dietitian at UGA made Balance IT part of Hucks special diet. We feel that Balance IT has contributed a lot to his current health.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Richard. We are so happy to hear that the Balance It software, that is donated to and used by UGA, and the Carnivore Blend have helped Huck for the past six years. We appreciate your support and hope Huck continues to do well.
