I switched my dog to fresh food after his latest diagnosis of copper storage disorder. I'd been considering fresh food for a while but didn't want to risk nutrient deficiencies when a friend recommended this brand. The low copper option is very reasonably priced and I love the recipe builder letting me adjust the ingredients and compare the nutrient levels.
Karissa, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Balance It® Canine -Cu and our free Recipe Builder ( https://balance.it/recipes ). It's great to hear that you feel the product is reasonably priced, and that the Recipe Builder is proving to be flexible and informative when creating recipes for Whiskey.
We hope Whiskey continues to be a “happy dog”! If you'd like, feel free to share a photo of him with our Customer Care Team at info@balanceit.com or publicly on our About Us page ( https://balance.it/shared_friends/new )—we’d love to see him.
My dog was diagnosed last summer through a biopsy with Canine Copper Strorage Disease. All of his numbers were very high on his blood tests as well. I had to transition him to a homemade diet since the low copper dog foods all contain ingredients that he is intolerant to. I incorporated this product to his diet. Within 6 months, all of his numbers went down substantially. Everything was normal aside from his ALT (which was only slightly elevated now). The doctor said it usually takes about 6 months to a year and since he responded poorly to the penicillamine and zinc treatments and couldn’t have them, I was elated! I can’t recommend this enough! Thank you for being a part of this healing journey!
Stacey, thank you for taking the time to share your dog's experience with Balance It® Canine -Cu. It's wonderful to hear that he showed significant improvement on his homemade diet. We appreciate you recommending us to others and wish Otis continued success on his journey to better health.
My dog has copper storage and his numbers were high and he was having a hard time with the store bought food. We switched and immediately all the GI and tummy stuff he was dealing with went away.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Kathryn. It's wonderful to hear that homemade food with Balance It® Canine -Cu has made such a positive impact on your dog. We hope Ziggy continues to do well.
Balance It® Canine -Cu
Thank you for the five-star review, Melanie. We hope your dog is enjoying their homemade meals with Balance It® Canine -Cu.
It mixes well into the human-grade food we prep and provides our dog with an essential low-copper diet supplement.
The only minor negative, is the tall, narrow bag makes it difficult to scoop the powder out, when the bag is near empty.
Thank you for sharing your review, Thomas. We hope Snow is enjoying her homemade meals with Balance It® Canine -Cu.
We appreciate your feedback on the bag's proportions. We did increased the bag opening size to around 8 square inches (about 50 sq cm) or over 4 inches wide, so that with tilting or a longer handled measuring spoon even the powder at the bottom should be accessible. We are sorry to hear that you are still having trouble accessing the last powder, and will take this concern into consideration for any future packaging changes/updates if possible.
My Vet, Dr. Donna Raditic, recommended BalanceIt to mix in with the Homemade Diet. My 6 yr. old Lab is doing so much better and has "normal" blood work!
Thank you for this great product..please consider a "loyalty" discount/or "senior" discount at some point? I've been a customer for more than 10 years! Id' certainly appreciate it! Thank you for your great product! Marybeth Behringer
Thank you so much for your trust, kind words, continued support, and photo Marybeth. We’re thrilled to hear that we’ve been a trusted part of your animal companions' health journeys for over a decade. Your current Labrador is truly adorable (our founder was raised with black Labs so we especially love the breed)!
While we keep all of our prices as low as possible at all times for all of our customers, we will definitely take your suggestions into consideration.
Please give your sweet pup a pat from all of us.
Sonny Boy is doing great
Thank you for your review, Jo. We're so glad to hear that Sonny Boy is doing great on his homemade diet with Balance It® Canine -Cu. We hope he continues to do well.
We are making Gretel's food now - she was diagnosed with a liver disease, where she can't have any copper in her food. We can buy some really expensive frozen stuff - not sure about the quality of the ingredients... or we can make our own.
It's working! So, basically this stuff is saving her life.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Balance It® Canine -Cu, Landon. It brings us joy to hear that our product has been beneficial in helping manage Gretel's liver disease and is 'saving her life'.
We wish you and Gretel well!
Customer care was responsive and helpful in getting me started on this program. After making my first batch I was able to get a simple system down with two different recipes. My dog LOVES it....... She seems to be happier and healthier.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and picture, L. Ann. We're delighted to hear that you found our Customer Care Team responsive and helpful. It was our pleasure to assist you.
We hope Luna continues to experience ongoing happiness and health!
I have had to start buying this product due to my dog having Copper Hepatitis. Thank you for making a product for her and other dogs like her. Choices are very limited.
Robin, you are very welcome, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts on Balance It® Canine -Cu. We're glad to be able to offer an option that works well for Izzi!
