When I was asked to review Hills' Ideal Balance Crafted I started to think about how they are a artist in making quality dog food. They take quality ingredients and slow cook it in small batches to be the best possible food it can be.
Heck that is what I do with my glass art. I take recycled glass (glass that has already proven itself strong), I heat my glass art for at least 12 hours at 1400 degrees melting the glass into my unique Wishing Stars. Each of my projects I make with love and caring ensuring that the final piece is of the highest quality.
We are both artist!
Making glass art is who I am - Making quality pet products is who Hills' is!
I am also a No Chemical ~ No Preservative nut! I want natural ingredients in everything I eat and use. Like me Hill's also understands the importance of using natural ingredients with no preservatives or chemicals.
We only eat natural so there is no way I am giving Diesel chemicals and preservatives. They use the same ingredients I use to make healthy meals for my hubby and I. Quality proteins of trout, salmon, roasted beef and chicken teamed up with ancient grains including, quinoa, buckwheat and vegetables like sweet potatoes, barley and peas.
They oven roast their dry dog kibbles to ensure a delicious and nutritious dog food. The slower, small batch process ensures quality and consistency that deliver perfectly balance nutrition. Diesel is our baby ~ we want the best for him.
Are you wondering what does Small Batch mean?
*For Hills' small batch means that Ideal Balance Crafted is made just the way you would — one very special batch at a time. Their experienced, dedicated master bakers create unique recipes in small batches using high quality meats, wholesome vegetables and ancient grains. Hills' way of making the best dog food.
*For DeDa Studios small batch means I make 6 stars at a time. Each one is designed to be unique and original the best it can be. I always use scrap recycled glass - my way of giving back to our green earth.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great dog food. We haven't adopted a dog yet, but when we do, I'll be sure to feed this to him or her.
ReplyDeleteI love your no preservative stance, and I'm sure your pet appreciates this. We have a no grain diet for our dog, since he's allergic to corn, and it's improved his skin and mobility!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look into this dog food. Our puppy will turn one in a few months and will be transitioning to adult food from puppy food. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to feed chemical filled foods to my pets. I like the idea of small batch cooking!

ReplyDeleteHills is a great brand. We used to feed it to our dogs, who loved it!
ReplyDeleteI know that our vet sells Hills. I should check it out and see if it is a good fit for our chihuahua.
ReplyDeleteHills sounds awesome. So many dog foods today are full of junk and fillers. this one sounds really high quality.
ReplyDeletewe don't use Hill brand but have heard great things about it. The food you feed your pet can have a huge affect on their health
ReplyDeleteHills sounds like a great brand. One I haven't heard much about but I wouldn't mind trying it with my 3 pups! - jeanine
ReplyDeleteI first started out feeding my pets this but have since changed over the years. We use a different brand now but this is still a great food for pets.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great brand of pet food. We miss having a doggie.
ReplyDeleteBecause one of our dogs has a grain allergy, we feed both of them grain free. I'm glad to know that Hill's has a grain free recipe. We'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteAll of our fur babies eat Hill's food. Won't eat anything else.
ReplyDeleteWe have used this brand before. We will probably go with it after we get our new puppy!

ReplyDeleteHill's is such a wonderful pet company. I agree that they are a great food for pups!
ReplyDeleteHills Ideal Balance sounds like a great dog food. Our pup is always looking for something new, so maybe we will buy her a bag!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't tried Hills Ideal Balance dog food because our dog is so picky. However, we have tried some of Hills' treats and she LOVES them.
ReplyDeleteI am kitten sitting this week while my parents are away. I'm falling in love with their cat & they may not get her back! I would definitely choose the best for her. Hill sounds like just that.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great brand. I like that they are specializing the food.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this brand yet. My Daisy could definitely use it!

ReplyDeleteSmall batch looks interesting. I didn't know they started specializing it, that sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard really good things about Hills Science Diet. I have tried it for my older girl once but she has such a sensitive stomach i was not able to continue feeding it to her.
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing a lot about Hills lately, I need to give it a try! Our dogs are overweight and it seems like they might need a change in food!
