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!
I was unable to get the auto ship to work but it seems that problem has been solved.

We hope your dog is doing well and continues to enjoy their homemade meals with Balance It Canine -Cu.
Ordering these trusted products is simple, and I receive my order promptly. Thank you. We determined my at Australian Shepherd/Lab mix dog was suffering from copper storage disease, and so I have been preparing all of his food at home and using the BalanceIt Canine supplement powder minus copper, and preparing his meals based on the online tool which provides the nutritional analysis. His ALT levels went down quickly and he is thriving at 14 1/2 half years old. I could not be happier.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to leave us an excellent review! It is great to hear that our Canine -Cu supplement has been smooth and quick to get and more importantly helpful in nutritionally managing Joker's disease when used with his special diet. It makes us very happy to know that he is thriving in his more mature years.
We're grateful for your continued support of and trust in our company, and look forward to continuing to serve you and Joker!
My dog has copper associated Hepatopathy and the Vet specialist said that a homemade diet crafted for her condition with Balance It would have half the copper than prescription low copper commercial dog food. My dog loves the food and I felt that the advice given with the packaging saying you could keep it in the refrigerator or freezer as it would reduce the smell of it for my dog was helpful. I will continue feeding it to my dog and her coat is already better and her breath is better than when she was on the prescription low copper commercial food.
Thank you for sharing Rennie's experience with Balance It® Canine -Cu! We are so happy to hear that she loves the homemade food and that it has improved her coat and breath. We understand the importance and challenge of reducing dietary copper for some dogs and are glad that our product has proven useful. It is also nice to hear that our recently redesigned shipping insert was informative and helpful. We hope Rennie continues to do well.
So thankful this was available so we could home cook for our family member. She eats it readily.
Thank you for the great review, Gail. We're delighted to hear your dog is readily eating her home-cooked food with Balance It Canine -Cu. We hope she is doing well.
