In this Petworking interview from Global Pet 2025, Peter Kenseth speaks with Lara Bernhardt of Ethos Pet Brands about Natural Balance's new three-pillar product categorization, and how its legacy of limited ingredient diets is evolving to address the increasing challenge of pet food allergies.The interview explores Natural Balance's new three-pillar product categorization (Nourish, Target, Avoid) and how it reflects the pet food industry's growing focus on microbiome health and functional nutrition. As a brand historically known for limited ingredient diets, Natural Balance has expanded its offerings of novel proteins like venison, bison, and duck as alternatives to chicken — now recognized as a common allergen for dogs.The interview highlights an unexpected practical application of the Plant Powered vegetarian formula as an elimination diet tool. For pets with multiple food sensitivities, this plant-based option serves as a "reset button," allowing pet parents to systematically introduce individual proteins to identify specific triggers.If your pet shows signs of food sensitivities, this discussion provides valuable insights into potential nutritional approaches, though consulting with your veterinarian is always recommended.
