    Ingredient Description

    LIST OF SUPERIOR INGREDIENTS BEYOND THE FIRST FIVE INGREDIENTS!

    While the first five ingredients play a significant role in the nutritional make-up of your dog’s food, every single ingredient is important. For nearly a decade, tens of thousands of dogs and cats have been eating and thriving on Life’s Abundance foods. We attribute this success to our painstaking attention to the detail. Each and every ingredient in Life’s Abundance food is carefully chosen to work with the other to supply your companion animal with a highly nutritious and perfectly balanced meal every day, every year over a lifetime.

    HIGH-QUALITY PROTEINS – Proteins are the building blocks of all living organisms. Protein is essential for all bodily functions including those of the brain, heart, skin, skeleton and many others. Life’s Abundance Weight-Loss Formula contains at least 28.5% of high-quality protein to aid metabolism and promote a lean, energetic body. Look for identifiable animal proteins such as "chicken meal" rather generic terms like "poultry meal," which can consist of any fowl (turkey, chicken, geese, etc.).

    • Chicken Meal
      Some foods contain chicken meat or chicken parts, which naturally hold a fair amount of water. We prefer to use chicken meal because most of the water has been removed, which makes it a concentrated source of protein. This means that there is a greater “protein content” in one pound of chicken meal versus one pound of chicken meat. That’s why high-quality chicken meal is a key ingredient in Life’s Abundance foods.
    • Eggs
      Eggs are one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods and play an important role in a balanced diet. They are considered a complete protein source, providing essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, B, E, K, Biotin, and Sulfur). Eggs also provide healthy fats, such as omega-6 for healthy skin and a glossy coat.
    • Catfish Meal
      Our top-quality fish meal is made by drying the freshest catfish at a low temperature, creating a concentrated, highly-digestible protein source. In addition to being an excellent source of protein, catfish meal provides natural DHA and EPA, the most important of all the omega-3 fatty acids.

    CHICKEN FAT - We believe the primary fat source in dog food should be animal based because these fats contain a profile of fatty acids that are easily metabolized and generally more available to the body. Animal fats can vary in quality, so look for a species-specific fat like “chicken fat” (versus “animal fat”) to be certain of the kind of fat your dog is eating.

    WHOLE GRAINS - Whole grains are an excellent source of protein, fiber, B vitamins, iron, zinc and other essential minerals. They also provide the kind of carbohydrates that deliver sustained energy to your dog. We include the natural goodness of Pearled Barley, Oat Groats, Ground Brown Rice and Ground Grain Sorghum in Life’s Abundance Dog Food.

    • Pearled Barley is whole barley with the tough inedible outer hull removed and then pearled or polished. It is a great source of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Barley contains several vitamins and minerals including niacin (Vitamin B3), thiamine (Vitamin B1), selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and copper.
    • Oat Groats are whole oats that have been cleaned, toasted, hulled and cleaned again. Amazingly, they retain nearly all of their original nutrients after this process. Oat groats contain seven B vitamins, vitamin E, and nine minerals, including iron and calcium.
    • Ground Brown Rice is the entire grain with only the inedible outer husk removed. This whole grain contains manganese, selenium, magnesium, as well as tryptophan and vitamins B1, B3 and B6.
    • Ground Grain Sorghum is rich in vitamin B1, niacin, and iron. It is a good source of zinc, and a source of vitamin B2. It also supplies dietary fiber.

    VITAMINS AND MINERALS – The proprietary blend of vitamins and minerals in Life’s Abundance foods was carefully selected to work in concert with all of the other ingredients to enhance the overall nutritional value of the food.

    • Vitamins: Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid.
    • Minerals: Potassium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Proteinate, Selenium Yeast, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Potassium Iodide.

    ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM – Among other nutrients, our antioxidant system includes vitamins A, C and E plus vegetables and fruits. The colorful skin and flesh of different vegetables and fruits contain phytonutrients, essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Each vegetable and fruit was carefully selected for its unique nutritional properties.

In addition, flax seed meal contains significant amounts of fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and is extremely rich in the minerals potassium, calcium and phosphorus.

    BREWER’S DRIED YEAST
    Brewer’s dried yeast is loaded with highly-digestible protein with an exceptional amino acid balance. It also contains an abundance of natural minerals and vitamins, featuring B complex vitamins (except B12).

    BEET PULP (SUGAR REMOVED)
    Fiber is required in every diet to maintain healthy intestinal tract and proper nutrient absorption. We use beet pulp, which is the fiber from the gray sugar beet (sugar removed). Many studies have demonstrated that beet pulp performs better than many other types of fiber.

    DIRECT-FED MICROBIALS
    These ingredients are similar to those found in supermarket yogurts. Direct-fed microbials help support healthy immune and digestive systems. Life’s Abundance contains the following direct fed microbials: Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus casei Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium thermophilum Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product.

    Comparing ingredients from one pet food to another is a good place to start.  If you see negative ingredients like by-products, corn, wheat, soy, bone meal, and other less than optimal ingredients, you can safely eliminate that product from your consideration.

    But, what about pet foods whose labels don't look too bad?  That is why we have assembled some of the most important things to consider when comparing any food to Life's Abundance without the need to become an "ingredient expert".

     

    #1 Freshness

    Life's Abundance

    deliveryOur foods are always Super Fresh because we do not sell through Mega Chain Stores.  In fact we make small frequent batches of food to ensure freshness.  Your pet food will never be old.  Most orders are delivered before the food is even 6 weeks old and there are no middlemen.

    National Brands

    Pet Food WarehouseMost brands of food are sold in the mass market and stored multiple times before you buy them.  In fact, it is not uncommon to find pet foods that are already 6 months to 1 year old by the time you buy them.  How nutritious do you think your pet food will be after sitting around in semi trucks and multiple warehouses?

     #2 Education

    Life's Abundance

    Dr. Jane BicksOne of the hallmarks of our holistic pet food company is the level of education you will receive when looking for the right food for your pet.

    Dr. Jane Bicks is the exclusive formulator of our entire product line and she makes herself available every other Wednesday evening at 8:30 EST for a LIVE Q&A.

    What Should I Buy?Ever wonder what food is right for your pet?  The typical response you will get from most store employees will be something like...

    "We sell a lot of this one" or "This food is on sale right now".

    This leaves you as much in the dark as when you started.  Remember, your pet eats the same thing every day.  It is important to know what you are feeding.

    #3 Product Variety

    Life's Abundance

    Holistic Dog and Cat FoodWe Only Make The Best with nothing less than human quality ingredients.

    Life's Abundance for dogs and cats is formulated to meet the requirements for All Stages of life.
    Formulated for all stages of life

    Our philosophy is simple.  People who love their pets will naturally want to feed them what is best, not what is cheapest.

     

    National Brands

    Most pet food companies make several varieties to capture your business and your budget.

    Consider the mixed message that is being sent by these competing products made by the same company.

    Puppy Chow vs. Pro Plan

    *Which food is better?
    *If one is an improvement over the other, why hasn't the old food been discontinued?
    *Why should I pay more for one if both are supposed to be good for my dog?
    *Is this just clever marketing?

    #4 Trust

    Life's Abundance

    USA IngredientsWe use only USA Ingredients.  Dr. Bicks and HealthyPetNet have been in business for the past 9 years and have never been involved in a recall.
    Much of that has to do with the first rate ingredients, the clean manufacturing facilities, and the fresh delivery practices that we use.

    While tainted ingredients from cheap sources is a constant threat, there is also an ongoing issue of "acceptible" ingredients that pet owners need to be aware of.

    National Brands

    Pet Food RecallDeadliest In History.  In March 2007, our nation experienced the single largest recall of pet food ever.  More than 100 brands of pet foods were pulled off the shelves due to tainted ingredients.  Thousands of pets were sickened (the FDA received more than 17,000 reports) and an estimated 20% died.

    #5 The Bottom Line - You've got nothing to lose by trying

    We hope you'll agree with us that choosing your pets food is an important decision.  After all, your pet will eat what's in his dish 95%-100% of the time, so a little bit of something bad, can amount to a big problem.
    Our goal is to inform pet owners that there are healthier options out there.  We intend to help pets live longer, healthier, and happier lives, while revolutionizing an industry that is in need of a change.

    No fillers may mean feeding only 1/2 as much as cheaper foods

    GOOD NUTRITION IS AFFORDABLE

    Executive Independent Rep
    I received the following from a customer:
    Lucy, my 6 year old Lab/Mountain Cur mix, began limping and having great difficulty getting up after my husband would take her on hikes. First, the vet said she had a sports injury and that she should rest for a few weeks. He gave her Rimadyl for the pain but this drug can have serious side effects. After a few weeks, my husband again took her on a hike and the limping that occurred afterwards, persisted. This time the vet took an x-ray and said Lucy had severe hip dysplasia. He thought it unusual in a dog so young and this is why he hadn't x-rayed her the first time. The only course of treatment was no more hiking, a steady regimen of Rimadyl and Glucosamine and to lose weight. Rimadyl was not an option for me so I began Lucy on Life's Abundance Weight Management. Within a month, she stopped limping after a long walk. My husband began taking her on short hikes. Again, no more limping. Lucy lost 13 pounds over the course of three months and she is enjoying her hikes and no longer limping when she returns. I am convinced that Life's Abundance Weight Management formula is the sole reason for Lucy's return to good health because I did not want to give her medications.

    Thanks,

    Jacob, our chow terrier mix has done very well on Life's Abundance weight loss food. According to his vet, his ideal weight is supposed to be 87lbs. Jacob has went from 103lbs down to a healthy 87lbs, his weight loss has been steady but gradual and the vet said slow weight loss is ideal. The best part is, Jacob can stay on the food and maintain his healthy weight. This was important to me because as dogs get older, maintaining optimal weight puts less stress on their joints.
