Furry PI's verdict

Natural Balance Shreds & Organ Chunks earns its high grade honestly. Chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — it contains tapioca starch. Even so, the overall picture is excellent for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

Contains tapioca starch, a lower-quality ingredient.
