Be Aware of These Unfavorable Ingredients By-products … after the choice cuts of meat are used for human consumption, the remains such as bones, intestines, heads, feet, tendons, ligaments and other unsavory body parts are known as by-products. By-products are generally inferior sources of protein and can be difficult to digest, which means less nutrition and more clean up.   Grains … soy, corn, corn gluten and wheat gluten are often used as protein sources; however, they are generally inferior and difficult to digest.   Chemical Preservatives & Artificial Colors … BHA, BHT and ethoxoquin can be very harmful to pets. Artificial colors are also linked to health problems.   Freshness … many large manufacturers make pet food in tremendous batches that can last for a very long time, so you may be feeding food that is six months to a year old.

Dedication to Excellence … Although we do not use inferior ingredients in Life’s Abundance, a truly exceptional dog food is much more than what you leave out, it’s also about the ingredients you put IN the food, and how the food is made.   Veterinarian Formulated … Life’s Abundance is formulated by Dr. Jane Bicks, a highly respected and nationally recognized holistic veterinarian.   Qualify & Freshness … Life’s Abundance is always made with fresh ingredients, which gives your pet the best quality possible.
