This post was written previous to that change. Awhile back, I wrote about Eve’s shopping trip to Petsmart® for Natures Recipe® grain-free dog food. Feeding grain-free food is very important in our household. Eve has a sensitive stomach and cannot tolerate grains in food. Meanwhile, Ty has Lymphoma and feeding grain-free food is highly recommended for dogs with cancer. So, there are no grains in our dog’s food or treats. What I like about Natures Recipe is that it offers a particularly affordable grain-free food. This allows consumers to purchase quality food without breaking the budget.
Choosing an Affordable Pet Food

When looking for a pet food within a budget. Consider the following:
- Is the product made from quality ingredients? Look for a product that has a balanced recipe and well thought out ingredient list.
- Do you need or desire a grain-free food? If so, look for specifically grain-free brands. If you do not need fully grain free, look for products what do not use corn or wheat and that instead use healthy grains as ingredients.
- Does the brand offer a food for your pet’s life stage? Puppies, active adults, and senior dogs all have different nutritional needs
- Does it fit within your budget? There are quality affordable pet foods that can typically be found at a store such as Petsmart.

If you are budget conscious and want to feed a quality food, Nature’s Recipe might be for you. Nature’s Recipe is easily found at Petsmart and allows the consumer an option to take a step up in their pet food nutrition without a steep step up in cost. The company understands the importance of helping pet parents go natural on a budget. They also offer products for specific life stages: Puppy, Adult, and Senior. When it comes to ingredients, Nature’s Recipe has the moto “every ingredient counts”™. The brand is committed to providing nutritionally vibrant recipes for every pet every day. The dog food recipes are crafted to help provide specific nutritional or functional benefits, and they contain no artificial colors or preservatives. While I have focused on the dog food, they offer cat food as well.


Ty certainly approves of Eve’s shopping trip choices!

Nature’s Recipe is available online via PetSmart.com and at your local PetSmart store.

We love Nature’s Recipe! Ty and Eve are so cute. 🙂
Ty and Eve are very sweet 🙂 Happy that you have found a food that works for them.
Eve looks really excited about her shopping trip and food options!
Eve and Ty are so adorable. My boys enjoy Nature’s Recipe stews as food toppers. It is always great to find reasonably priced food.
Aren’t they so sweet – they look like dey totally lub Nature’s Recipe! We’ll check stout – thank you!
Thank you for all this great information! Purrs from the Zee/Zoey kitties
Eve is so photogenic, she’s a great advocate for Nature’s Recipe!
Eve and Ty make great spokespups! So cute! I love that Nature’s Recipe provides options for pet parents who have to consider food sensitivities. As a human with food allergies, I know how hard it is to have to eat special food! It has to be even harder for our pets. Yay for grain free recipes!
I’m a big fan of grain free treats and food. Thanks for sharing this!
It’s really great that this company makes its food affordable for everyday pet parents!
Ty and Eve are too cute. They look pretty happy doing this review. Kilo the Pug is trying grain free as he digests it fine but just doesn’t really need it. Happy 2016
All of my kids like Nature’s Recipe – cats and dogs included! We also tried the grain free food as well as the doggy stews!
We are all about grain free too! It’s great that their is an affordable option for an important diet for your pets. Love Dolly
It’s nice to know there are becoming more healthy options available. Thank you for sharing.
We really like that PetSmart is providing more healthy, high-quality food in their stores.
Cute fur-babies! Mary has recently started on Nature’s Recipe joint health, and it seems to be working. Tonight we went outside and I started playing chase with her and she was actually dodging me, something she hasn’t done in a while now. It sure put a smile on my face (hers too). Now if I could just get some of this joint health food for me we’ll both be doing great BOL 🙂
Grain free is the way to go! We’ve tried several brands, but we’ve been grain free for years.
Ohhh, I have some drooling pets over here now! hehe
Finding budget friendly foods can be so important. Not everyone is willing to buy the expensive bags, but they still might need a grain free option.
I was so happy to find a cheap grain-free option when Matilda was a puppy, since in the past, all we were able to afford for my old dog was full of corn. The difference is huge. Her poops look healthier, and she’s rarely itchy. It feels great to be able to afford foods to feel good about!
