Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. is not responsible for the content of this article. ideal=balanceOur readers over on DogTipper know that we’ve been very busy the past few months writing The Healthy Hound Cookbook. Although a 100 percent homemade diet is too much work (and too complicated) for most busy people, we know from our DogTipper readers that many would like to get a better handle on the ingredients in their pet’s food. They’re tired of the recalls and the scares about treats from China…and just the uncertainty of knowing what they’re putting in the pet bowl. Many, however, are keeping a close eye not just on the pocketbook but on the clock. What’s the answer?

For many pet lovers, the answer is Hill’s® Ideal Balance™, a food that provides perfectly balanced nutrition while, at the same time, including NO corn, wheat or soy. Made with natural ingredients (not that whole list of things you can’t pronounce, must less understand), all the dry food is made in the USA facilities that are both owned and operated by Hill’s.

The company also has zero tolerance for Salmonella, a fact that’s good to hear in light of the numerous Salmonella-induced recalls that have plagued the industry lately. All meat and poultry come from USDA-inspected facilities. The company ensures that its foods are safe for your cat; each batch of food undergoes more than 60 quality checks. Over 1,000 Salmonella tests are conducted every month so that you know you don’t have to worry about contaminated food (which can be a danger not only to your pets but to yourself as Salmonella contamination can easily be spread through your household.)

Varieties for cats range from Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Adult cat food to Hill’s® Ideal Balance™ Grain Free Natural Chicken & Potato Recipe Adult cat food. You can select a flavor for your cat’s tastes and know that you don’t have to worry about the nutrition in this natural pet food–and you don’t have to worry about the safety of the carefully-monitored manufacturing facilities that produce this food.

Hill’s® Ideal Balance™ strikes an ideal balance, not just in terms of ingredients, but in terms of your time and money. Affordable nutrition using real foods, not fillers, makes this food an “Ideal Balance” for many pet lovers.
