You may wish to feed your pet a homemade diet or be forced to concoct one due to pet illness. Either way, Balance It makes this possible with a brilliantly devised system offering thousands of options. The complexity of the web interface can be daunting, but personal support was available to get me started. Over two years ago my 13 year old mixed breed dog developed renal failure. Over the years prior pets have shown this diagnosis to be a death sentence. The mainstay of treatment is a low protein, low phosphorus diet, which is usually unpalatable. My dog refused to touch all of the pet store and prescription renal diets. I was forced to cook a homemade diet but wanted to ensure that it provided all essential nutrients. My vet suggested Balance It. After trying multiple combinations of various proteins with grains or pasta, we finally found one she wanted to eat. Balance It gave me a recipe incorporating those specific ingredients, along with necessary supplements.
I was worried that the supplement powder might taste bad, but she does not mind either the powder or added fish oil in the recipe.
My dog has thrived. Not only has her renal failure not progressed, but today actually has consistently improved with lower serum BUN and creatinine (measures of renal function) than when diagnosed more than two years ago. That seemed impossible two years ago. I attribute the success to Balance It nutritional supplement and the custom diet, which have been literally lifesaving.

My dog has transitioned to his new diet with Canine K well. I like the scoop that came with the 1 pound bag so I don’t have to weigh the portion at meal time.
I’m grateful there is this option to feed my dog homemade food to help him through his kidney disease (with Balance-it on board) and have hope that he will live a longer life because of it.
Sarah, it's wonderful to hear that Nugget has transitioned well to his new homemade diet fortified with Balance It® Canine K in our 1 lb. 5 oz. bag. We hope it continues to be a 'success'!
We also appreciate the adorable photo you shared of Nugget in his bowtie. Our team always loves seeing pictures of furry friends.
Thank you so much for your kidney support product, my puppy Punky was born with deformed kidneys, because of balance it, I am able to make my own food for her, and I believe it’s keeping her alive. She will be 3 soon, and they told me she wouldn’t live to see 2❤️❤️❤️ thank you❤️❤️
I love her so much
Jana, your review truly warmed our hearts. Thank you for sharing pictures of yourself and Punkin— she looks like such a sweetheart! We are proud to have been a part of her health journey.
I have been using Balance IT and their recipe builder for 1.5 years. I started as my dog was diagnosed with heart failure and wouldn’t eat. She continues to love her food and doesn’t have episodes of not wanting to eat. I’m now making food for my other 2 dogs. I highly recommend the recipe builder and the supplements. They are quick to get vet approval for special diets.
Thank you for your five-star review of Balance It® Canine K, Diane! It's wonderful to hear that our supplement and recipes have made such a difference for Basil's health and appetite. We hope that it is working just as well for your other two dogs.
We appreciate your recommendation of our supplements, the vet approval process, and our free Recipe Builder ( https://balance.it/recipes ).
My dog was diagnosed with kidney disease several years ago. Vet put her on special diet with balance IT. She is now 15 years old and her kidney levels are stable. Thank you Balance IT
Nancy, thank you for sharing your experience with Balance It® Canine K. We're so happy to hear that our product has helped your dog with kidney disease for several years and that her levels are still stable at 15 years old.

Balance It® Canine K
It's great that you feel Balance It® Canine K is deserving of five stars, Belinda! We appreciate your review, and hope your dog is doing well.
Our pup was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, stage 2, in Feb of 2022. With limited options for pre-made kibble we sought out a veterinary nutritionist who was able to provide us with a meal plan, needing a Balance IT powder to ensure meals are balanced and complete. She is still alive and doing well! I have never had a problem ordering the powder and it has always arrived reasonably quickly.
Thank you for your review and ongoing support, Sara.
We're delighted to hear that your dog has thrived on the recipe formulated by your board-certified veterinary nutritionist® that includes the addition of Balance It® Canine K for well over two years.
We hope your experience continues to be 'great'!
Balance It® Canine K
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Balance It® Canine K, Rosaura. We hope you and Otto are doing well.
Since my dog has been on the Balance It diet, his colitis is gone.
Kelley, thank you for your 'great' review! It's wonderful to hear that your dog's colitis has resolved since making the switch to Balance It®.
I started slow with the amount added to the food. My dog did not like it at first. I had to make her food a bit more hydrated at start. I also saved it in the fridge to prevent the smell. This product helped my dog from continuing to lose weight while I was transitioning her to a homemade renal diet. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Balance It® Canine K, Wanda. We're so happy to hear that it has been a 'life saver' for your sweet Chloe. We hope she continues to do well!
