Dog stories: what dog parents say about Nala Health

Stories from people who feed Nala Health, told in their own words.

From our customers

  • Tami

    Our Portuguese Water Dog, Tami, developed problems with itching from an early age, constantly chewing at her paws. At times, it was quite severe, leaving them red and sore underneath. Our vet diagnosed a fungal infection as a result of allergies. It was a long journey, and we tried several different types of sensitive dog food without much success. She also frequently suffered from an upset stomach.
    Then we heard about Nala, and decided to give it a try. It didn’t take long before we started seeing results. First, her stomach settled, and slowly but surely, she stopped chewing her paws. And best of all: she loves the food!
    Tami is now a happy and content 7-year-old. Now we feel that we have the problem under control, which gives us great peace of mind.
    We also know that her food provides her with everything she needs, and we love that it’s a sustainable choice in every way!

  • Chyna

    After a serious knee injury and weight gain, Chyna struggled with pain and mobility. With hydrotherapy and Nala Health Senior Weight Management food, she reached a healthier weight and was finally able to have the surgery she needed. Today, she’s thriving and enjoys hikes, swimming, and life without pain medication.

  • Tara Porsche

    Nala has already made a difference to Tara Porsche’s health and wellbeing. As a Cavalier, maintaining the right weight is so important for her long-term heart health, and since switching to Nala for weight management, she has gently and slimmed . The added taurine for heart support gives me real peace of mind knowing her nutrition is actively caring for her heart.

  • Dina

    I absolutely love Nala Health! They combine everything I care about: genuine sustainability, thoughtful design, amazing people behind the brand, and most importantly – happy and healthy dogs.

    Dina Ragna, pet parent
  • Molly

    I trusted Nala Health with my two senior huskies, and it gave them the best quality of life right to the end. Now with Molly, my new husky pup, there was no question—I’m sticking with the food I believe in. Her energy, coat, and digestion are all thriving. Nala Health can follow Molly through every stage of life

  • Lulu

    Lulu is very happy with Nala Health and can live a happy life now. He is an allergic dog but this food suits him so well. Also thank you for the good services and quick delivery.

    Lulu Killy, pet parent
  • Togo

    Our 15-month-old Australian Shepherd, Togo, has thrived since switching to Nala Health! Suffering from IBD, he struggled with vomiting, bloody stools, and lack of focus. After just a few weeks on Nala Health, his condition stabilized, allowing us to taper his medication. Now, he’s happier, eats well, enjoys walks, and is fully engaged in training. Nala Health truly saved him!

    Togo Lisbeth, pet parent
  • Eddie

    I’m really happy with this food. My dog used to have frequent loose stools with a strong odor and wasn’t eating well. Now, his appetite is great, and his stools are firm and odor-free. I’m a very satisfied customer.

    Eddie Monica, pet parent
  • Colby

    This food has changed my baby’s life. He has a lot more energy and his allergies are under control now. He is an old man with a new lease on life. Thank you to Nala you have made my fur baby live longer.

    Colby Angie, pet parent
  • Uriah

    Hi my name is Uriah von der Weidenstrasse Rowe, I was a very sick 6yr old boy with Canine IBD, which according to veterinarians, is incurable. Heres the positive twist: Nala Health saved my life! Due to Nala Health, I am now off all medication, gained weight again and my coat has grown back and is as soft as a that of a little puppy. Thank you Nala Health!

    Uriah Anette, pet parent
  • Micko

    My dog Micko, a Boerboel, switched from a well known brand to Nala dog food and absolutely loves it. Despite being a strong believer in the other brand and trying their various ranges, I have now bought him the BEST food ever. He was just diagnosed with Acid Reflux and these small pellets works wonders. I can see he feels great – he is playing – just an all round happy dog (He is 6 yrs old). Thank you so so much for this dog food, it’s really TOPS. Switching to Nala is the best decision I’ve ever made.

    Micko Nolene, pet parent
  • Bamse

    Bamse, my 10-month-old Bichon Frise, struggled with appetite and inconsistent stools on other foods. Since switching to Nala Health, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement. Bamse now enjoys his meals, and his digestive health has stabilised. We’re definitely sticking with Nala Health. Thank you so much!

    Bamse Kirsten, pet parent
  • Wilma

    This food is the best. My 9 year old French bulldog no longer itches, she has no redness under the chin, no loose stools and no shedding!
    She has had all these problems for years. Now the old problems have disappeared.

    Wilma Eva, pet parent
  • Brumle

    Nala Health is the only thing that has worked perfectly for Brumle! We have tried a lot of different things, but since we started with Nala Health, his coat is fantastic and his itching is completely gone. Nala Health is one of the only types of food that doesn’t contain anything he’s allergic to without being ultra-processed and completely tasteless.

    Brumle Silje, pet parent
  • Chilly

    I have been using Nala Health for over a year now. I use puppy, adult and senior and have had only positive experiences. The dogs’ fur is shiny and they have a good appetite on Nala Health. Their stools have also improved and the puppies where very excited about Nala when they started on solid food.

    I highly recommended this food

  • Mali and Kiran

    Kiran, who has struggled with allergies and has been on different expensive allergy foods for years. After switching to Nala Health he has had no issues. Mali, who has always been a picky eater, has a good appetite and eats well. Their stools are also good and their fur is shiny.

    We are so happy with the food!

    Mali and Kiran Ida, pet parent
  • Daisy

    Nala Health saved my dachshund, Daisy, from severe IBD and allergies that caused internal bleeding. Despite multiple vet visits and hypoallergenic diets, nothing worked until Nala Health. Two months later, while Daisy still has IBD, she’s happier, itch-free, off most meds, maintains a healthy weight, has a shiny coat, and is eager for walks and play.

    Daisy Ingi, pet parent
  • Lykke and Diva

    Lykke was suffering terribly from IBD causing diarrhea, bloody stools, and pain. This prompted an immediate switch to Nala Health. Within a day, her condition improved significantly with firmer stools and no blood. After three days, she was back to her old self. My other French Bulldog, just 5 months old and battling giardia, also showed dramatic improvement after switching to Nala Health despite ongoing medication. Within two days, her symptoms eased. I believe Nala Health has been crucial in their recovery.

    Lykke and Diva Hilde, pet parent
  • Georgi

    I have a GSP dog who is allergic to all dry dog foods (I have tried all the main brands and she gets a horrible rash on her stomach and a very sore gut) and up till now she has only tolerated ostrich or turkey wet food. I introduced the Nala very slowly over three weeks and its working! No rash and back to her high energy self.

    Georgi Jacqui, pet parent
  • Lilly-Mae and Rusty

    For years we fed our dogs what we thought was good dog food. However, we always had to substitute with some extras like family leftovers… just to make the dogs eat. With Nala, we feed them just the right portion and no unhealthy titbits to make them eat. They just eat their portions dry and as served and they LOVE it.

    Best decision we have ever made for our Pets!

    Lilly-Mae and Rusty Shaun and Gordon, pet parent
  • Zaffi

    Zaffi was diagnosed with IBD and pancreatitis. He now eats Nala Health senior food and is a happy chap – and he has never been more stably healthy. Choosing dog food for my dogs has to fulfil 3 criteria; the health of my dogs, the impact on the environment, and animal welfare. Cost, of course, is also a consideration

    Zaffi Bernhard, pet parent
  • The Team-Xit

    I contacted Nala Health because despite feeding my dogs with reputable food, I experienced that my dogs struggled with diarrhoea and digestive problems. Now they eat Nala Health dog food and are doing really well!

    The Team-Xit Sofi, pet parent
  • Baloo

    For Baloo, I seek the same quality of life I desire for myself. I want only the best for him, and with Nala Health, I believe he’s getting just that. Since switching, he’s had healthier stools, fresher breath, and even shed some extra weight.

    Baloo Camy, pet parent
  • I love Nala Health because of it’s sustainability, starting from insect based protein, locally manufactured and a market first with it’s recyclable packaging. 
    My dogs enjoy eating it, digest it well, have less flatulence on it. I’m delighted to be able to stock this revolutionary food at Alphen Vet, and offer our clients a new generation eco friendly, ectovegetarian food that is well formulated with such care. A real tribute to the wonderful Nala who inspired it.

  • Charlotte

    Charlotte absolutely loves Nala Health! As an older dog who needs to have her weight kept in check, Nala is the perfect brand.

    Charlotte Richard, pet parent
  • Honey

    Honey recently had the opportunity to taste your fabulous new dog food. She gobbled it up so fast and loved the taste. We are very impressed by the quality of your ingredients and the flavour of the food.

    Honey Adéle, pet parent
  • Seline and Luna

    Our huskies Selene and Luna have taken to Nala Health like ducks to water. Luna has had two knee operations and it’s so pleasing to see her running and in good health again. Selene has always been a picky eater, often skipping meals, but she never says no to a bowl of Nala Health!

    Seline and Luna Linda, pet parent
  • Toby

    Toby loves the taste of Nala Health and couldn’t get enough of these delicious pellets. They really make his day. We highly recommend Nala Health.

    Toby Sue, pet parent
  • Smoothy

    My beautiful boy Smoothy had cancer and unfortunately lost his appetite towards the end. While searching for healthy food that he would eat, we came across Nala Health. He regained his appetite and looked forward to meals when we began feeding Nala food. He even refused to take his medicine unless it came with his kibble. Smoothy took with him the fond memory of Nala Health that he just loved and looked forward to every day. Highly recommended!

    Smoothy Sharon, pet parent
  • Louis

    We did a little experiment with three bowls of different dog food to see which Louis would prefer. Nala Health was the clear winner! Louis thinks Nala-food is heavenly.

    Louis Ragna, pet parent
  • Cusco

    Our 13-year-old dog, Cusco, had lost his appetite and seemed lethargic. The day we introduced him to Nala Health marked a transformation; he went from indifference to energetic play and eagerly asking for more. We’re thrilled with Nala Health, and Cusco adores it!
