Great product. Needs new packaging

I agree with others reviewers. Love the product. Change the bag. It won’t close after opening it. Product is wonderful though.

Gina, thank you for the “wonderful” compliment for Balance It® Canine. We’re glad to hear you “love” the product, but sorry that you’re not as satisfied with the packaging.

We’re not aware of any issues with the bags sealing when opened according to the instructions on the bag and in the shipping document included with every order. However, we understand that the larger 600-gram bags are inherently more difficult to open and close due to the legally required child-resistant closure (CRC).

Per federal law, we cannot recommend transferring the contents into a reusable and resealable container that you might prefer and like most cooks do for other bagged powdered cooking ingredients like flour or sugar. Legally, we must tell you that any container must have a CRC (aka “be childproof”) given its high nutrient content. This special packaging requirement protects against accidental ingestion of all of the contents at once by a child.

We continue to look for the best options for packaging and will keep your and others' feedback in mind as we do. For now, we believe this is the best option available while meeting both environmental and legal/regulatory concerns/requirements.

Please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at info@balanceit.com if you would like to share more about your experience with the bags. We appreciate your feedback and hope your dog is doing well!

Versatile for all ages

I have a senior dog, and a puppy. It has been helpful to use one product for both dogs. We noticed a difference in our senior dog within the first week.

Thank you for your five-star review, Antoinette! It's wonderful to hear that Balance It® Canine has been helpful to both your senior dog and your puppy.

We hope it continues to make a positive difference for the two of them.

Wonderful product

Having a dog with IBD is challenging. Cooking for a dog with IBD is best. The short cut to a balanced meal rather than formulating vitamins and minerals from lots of bottles, is taxing and frustrating. A balanced vitamin mineral supplement to add to a meal is a blessing!

Thank you for your 'wonderful' review, Sandy! We're sorry to hear about your dog's inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (aka chronic enteropathy) and understand how challenging it can be to find the right diet for a companion with special needs.

We're so glad that Balance It® Canine has been a helpful solution, and we hope your dog continues to do well.

Excellent Service, Advice, snf Products.

The folks at Balance IT have always been there to help us with advice on special ddiets forour animals. We have used them for custom diets for four dogs with dietary problems and in each case they have come up with great solutions,

Steve and Jean, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that the general guidance our team provides has been helpful for your dogs’ special diets. While we do not provide medical advice, we hope our free online resources and self-service tools have been useful in supporting their dietary needs.

Love the product. Change the bag

Thank you for sharing your review, Adriana. We’re happy to hear that you 'love' the product.

As a California Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp, we are committed and held to the most sustainable practices. As widely reported, plastic recycling is unfortunately minimal at 5-6% in most municipalities and efforts to simply reduce plastic use have been suggested instead (see https://bit.ly/3SHpVf0). Thus, we decided to proactively develop a packaging solution that uses less plastic and invest in a new packaging line to support this change. By transitioning to bags instead of bottles, we have been able to reduce the plastic used by over 82%! Additionally, the new bags have a wider opening allowing the powder to be more easily accessed at the bottom.

As these bags must have an integrated child resistant closure (CRC) per federal law and combine two different types of plastic, they cannot be recycled, but we strongly believe this is the most environmentally friendly option until fully recyclable packaging becomes viable.

Please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at info@balanceit.com if you have any questions or would like to share more about your experience with our bags.

Love the product

We are most pleased with the canine powder and have used it for over 8 years. Our pup is healthy and energetic. We are not fond of the packaging, but manage to work around it. We do like that packaging is minimal.

Carolyn, thank you for being such a long-time user of Balance It®—over 8 years is wonderful to hear!

We also appreciate your feedback on our packaging. While we believe our current packaging is the best option available while meeting both environmental and legal/regulatory concerns/requirements, we continue to explore improvements and will keep your input, along with others’, in mind.

We’re so glad to hear your pup is “healthy and energetic,” and we hope they continue to do well.

Balance It® Canine

Thank you for the five-star review, Marcia! We hope your dog is enjoying their homemade meals with Balance It® Canine.

Blood work

Thanks to balance it , when sick dog had extensive blood work done her numbers where PERFECT. Vet said she never saw such good numbers for everything tested. Thank you for a product that is proven to work!

Thank you for sharing this update with us, Barbara! It's great to hear that your dog’s blood work looked 'perfect.' We hope she's doing well.

Best Outcome

It's been interesting to put his total reliance upon me, but this approach appears to have improved his GI issues. He's still an old man, but after almost a year - we and he are happier.

Thank you for sharing your review, Jimmy. It's good to hear that your approach with Rocky seems to have helped improve his GI issues and that you are both 'happier' after almost a year. We hope he is enjoying his homemade meals with Balance It® Canine.

Great Product

Website was helpful to build recipe for our dog! Child safe closure took us a couple days to get use to, but is straightforward once you get use to it. Happy with product and glad we finally found a supplement without a bunch of extra additives that my dog is allergic to!

Thank you for sharing your 'great' review, MH! We’re happy that our free online Recipe Builder ( balance.it/recipes ) was helpful in creating a recipe for your dog. We understand that the child-resistant closure (CRC) on our larger 500/600 gram bags is inherently difficult to open and close, but we’re glad to hear it's 'straightforward' once you get used to it.

We hope your dog is enjoying their homemade meals with Balance It® Canine.
