Using BalanceIt has helped me to provide my sweet dog with the appropriate nutrition needed with a home cooked meal solution to solve his GI issues. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Lynda, and thank you for the kind review! We’re so happy to hear that a home-cooked diet has been working well for your sweet boy.
Your photo of him enjoying the beach at sunset is absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have noticed a huge change in our thirteen year old dog, Chief. I've been making his food for over a year, but was concerned about deficiencies. After discussing this concern with our vet, he recommended Balance It. Adding the Balance It supplement has greatly improved his energy and demeanor. I'm very happy with the supplement and website support for recipes. I highly recommend this for anyone making their animal's food to ensure all their nutritional needs are met.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Emma, and for the great photo of Chief on the tennis field! We’re so glad to hear that your veterinarian pointed your our way, and that Balance It® Canine has been a good addition to his homemade meals. We’re also happy you’ve found our free Recipe Builder ( balance.it/recipes ) helpful.
We appreciate your recommendation and support.
I have been making homemade recipes for my dogs for years, and there was always a concern that they were getting proper nutrition, especially since they aren't fond of several foods which provide a lot of the nutrients they require. I have tried several different types of supplements and this is the best yet. The dogs actually like the taste and they have the healthiest, shiniest coats. Normal Boston Terrier fur tends to be a little coarse, but their coats are so soft now. I will continue to purchase this product because I love my pups and think this is the best for them.
Maria, thank you for sharing your experience, and for the gorgeous photos of your Boston Terriers! We’re delighted Balance It® Canine is a hit in your household.
It means a lot that you trust us to be part of their meals, and we look forward to continuing to be part of their routine.
My dog took to this supplement well. We make his food and I wanted to make sure he is getting all the nutrients he needs. This is perfect.
Thank you for the sweet photo and the kind words, Kendra. We’re delighted your dog took to Balance It® Canine.
Excellent product and very well tolerated by my 5-year-old, 6 kg German Spitz. He is on a homemade diet, and his check-ups are going very well according to the vet. It is very important to dose the product gradually so it doesn't affect the flavor too aggressively.
Thank you so much for the “excellent” review, Michael, and for the adorable photo of Johao!
We appreciate you sharing your tip about introducing the supplement gradually. It’s something that helps many dogs and cats adjust, especially if they’re selective about their food.
We hope Johao continues to do well.
When my Shih Tzu was diagnosed with low grade kidney disease, I started her on a balance it diet. She recently was tested for kidney and liver functions and the vet reported a vast improvement in her numbers.
Many thanks for this product!
Barbara, thank you for taking the time to share Charlotte's experience with Balance It® (and for the adorable photo!). We're so glad to hear her recent vet visit brought good news.
In addition to our free recipes for healthy dogs and cats, we also offer free 'therapeutic' recipes for many medical conditions, which are approved by your veterinarian through our online system. If this is ever something your veterinarian recommends for Charlotte, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance in how to get started.
We hope Charlotte continues to do well!
This product was recommended for my dog (now 3 yrs old) after he was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. With medication and a proper diet, he has been symptom-free for over a year. The recipe provided by Balance It is easy and so much healthier than the alternatives on the market!
This photo made our day, Nat! We couldn't be happier to hear that Balance It® Canine, along with the recipes you've built using our free Recipe Builder ( balance.it ), have worked so well for your boy.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for the cozy picture!
My package was left outside of my building by a delivery guy, I have never received it.
Hi Andrey, we're very sorry your order never made it into your hands. The delivery photo you shared appears to show your package left outside the locked entrance to your building, which is not a secure delivery, and we understand why that's so frustrating.
As soon as we learned the package was missing, we filed a claim with the carrier on your behalf. When they denied it, we appealed the decision. We understand you've since resolved the charge directly with your bank.
If anything else comes up, please reach out to us at info@balanceit.com. We're always glad to help.
For anyone ordering to an apartment or secured building, adding a gate code or delivery instructions in the Company field at checkout may help carriers get packages inside. If packages are often left outside your entrance, as the other packages in this photo suggest, shipping to a secure alternative, such as a work address or a friend's home, may be a safer option.
For her entire life, from 8 weeks to 11.5 years my Entlebucher has only eaten meals from high quality, locally sourced ingredients using the Recipe Creator on the https://balance.it/ website. I cook these in batches, freeze, thaw as needed and serve adding Balance It Canine supplements. My old girl is in excellent health. She has never suffered from allergies or any of the debilitating conditions that plague other dogs. While others with different diets have chronic issues and cross that rainbow bridge at a young age, my old girl is often mistaken for a puppy. Hoping for many more good quality years!
Wow, KD, thank you so much for sharing this, and for the adorable photo of your Entlebucher Mountain Dog! It's wonderful to hear that Balance It® has been part of her routine for most of her life.
We're so grateful for your trust over all these years, and we're hoping right along with you for many more good years ahead!
My senior Yorkie has stomach issues. It is such a huge help to be able to construct a diet from foods my dog can eat since he is very limited. It is reassuring to know the diet along with the supplements he is getting what he needs,
Gayle, it's wonderful to hear that our free Recipe Builder ( balance.it/recipes ) and Balance It® Canine supplement have given you that reassurance for your senior Yorkie's diet.
Thank you for your kind review and the adorable photo — it looks like it's ball time!
I have a picky Shih Tzu. She only basically eats chicken breast ( boiled) and sweet potatoes. My vet recommended this product and she does eat it sprinkled on her food. She will eat some plain yogurt and apples at times. No kibble at all!
Deborah, thank you so much for sharing this, and for the adorable photo of your Shih Tzu!
We're so glad Balance It® Canine has been a success with your picky pup. It sounds like you've found a routine that works well for her, and we hope things continue to go smoothly.
I have two GSD’s, both with complicated medical issues (EPI, Lupus, proctitis with anal fistulas) both were eating prescription diets with multiple medications. They experienced much GI upset, vomiting and diarrhea. One was over weight and one under. When we heard about BALANCE IT. From our vet, we were at our wits end and questioning how much longer they would live. Since starting BALANCE IT, all symptoms have reduced. They are not gone entirely, however my babies are much more comfortable, they LOVE their food and start asking for their meals an hour before it’s time! The burping, stomach rumbles, and extreme stretching is almost gone. I was skeptical, but giving the dogs real food with the complete BALANCE IT supplement has improved all of our lives. Thank you 😊 🐾❤️
You're welcome, Christa, and thank you for this incredibly heartfelt review and gorgeous photos of your two German Shepherds.
It's clear how much you love them, and we're honored to have been recommended by your veterinarian. We're grateful to be part of your routine, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
Wishing you all continued health and happiness!
I make homemade dog food and add balance it vitamins, my dogs have no problems with the taste when I mix it in their food, simple to use, I have used two orders so far.
Sherri, it's wonderful to hear that Balance It® Canine has been a smooth and simple addition to your dogs' homemade meals.
Thanks for sharing your review, and for that adorable holiday photo — your pups make quite the festive pair!
It’s a very important supplement for my dog who is not eating well. Was glad to get the Plus version as the basic one can’t be heated up. It’s just the cost of it is very high - I end up spending CAD $200 for a bag by the time shipping and import duties are paid. It also smells like paint but that’s a common problem with vitamins - so accustom your dog slowly.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Vera — and for the sweet photo of your pup! We're glad to hear that Balance It® Canine has worked well for your dog, but we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by international shipping costs to Canada.
We strive to keep our prices as low as possible for all of our customers, though we understand that international shipping and associated duties, taxes, or fees charged by some countries can be significant. To determine if any duties, taxes, or fees might be due beforehand, we always advise our customers to contact their government's local customs authority before ordering from us or making any international order. We unfortunately do not have any control over international postage, local taxes, or current exchange rates.
And thank you for the tip on transitioning slowly — you're absolutely right. A natural odor is normal for concentrated powder supplements (we don't add anything to mask it), so easing your dog in is great advice. If you're ever curious about the why, our FAQ “Why do your supplements have an odor?” at balance.it/faqs has more information.
We hope Canine Plus keeps being a good addition to your dog's meals.
My 16 year old fox terrier seems to be doing better since I started giving her the supplement. She likes the taste and she started moving better, seems to have less pain and walks a lot more. Spends less time sleeping and more time trying to chase other doggies of the house around even though she can’t see very well.
Ailin, thank you so much for this wonderful review and for sharing that adorable photo of your three dogs!
We love hearing that your 16-year-old Fox Terrier is enjoying her supplement and still has plenty of spirit to keep the other pups on their toes.
We appreciate your kind words and support.
Thank you for creating this specific product that helps to make sure my daily homemade food for my pups is Balance!
You're welcome, Noorcka, and thank you for your kind words and adorable photo of Piper!
We hope that the addition of Balance It® Canine continues to be a beneficial addition to her homemade meals.
My veterinarian recommended this supplement and I am very pleased with it so far. It is very easy to use and it must taste okay because my dog still eats her food. I’m really happy knowing that I’m giving her the most nutritionally complete meals I possibly can.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for sharing that adorable photo, Jen! Our team truly loves getting to see the furry companions we get to help every day.
We're so glad your veterinarian recommended Balance It® Canine and that it's been such a seamless addition to mealtime.
I have no words…. I just am so impressed with what I can do for my animal with your help
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Linda, and for sharing this stunning photo!
We are so glad that Balance It® has been able to help you feel confident in what you're providing for your dog.
We will be sure to pass along your very kind words — and this picture — to the rest of the team.
