Do you really know what’s in your pet’s food?
Although you may think all pet food manufacturers have your pet’s best interests in mind, this is not always
the case. Current pet food regulations allow manufacturers to use ingredients that you would never knowingly give to your
pet. In fact, you may be shocked to learn what some brands of pet food really contain.
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.
Why is Life’s
Abundance® Better?
Life’s Abundance® is always made with the freshest ingredients, which gives your
pet the best quality possible! We select only quality ingredients and use our exclusive “fast-cook” process to
preserve the fresh taste of natural foods. This technique maintains natural flavors and nutritional value better than more
rigorous cooking techniques found in many store bought products. We don't add flavor enhancers or coloring to replace what
high-temperature cooking can destroy. We don't need to. We keep all the natural goodness.
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 dog food contains at
least 26% of high-quality protein. 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 Ground Brown Rice and Oat Groats in Life’s Abundance Dog Food.
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.
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.
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, Inositol, Niacin Supplement,
Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Vitamin A Acetate,
Vitamin D3 Supplement, Citric Acid, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid.
Minerals: Potassium Chloride, Salt, Calcium
Carbonate Monosodium Phosphate, 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.
Vegetables and
Fruit
Beets
Beets contain folate, manganese, potassium, dietary
fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, tryptophan, iron, copper and phosphorus. The phytonutrient called betacyanin is responsible for
the purple-crimson color of the beet.
Broccoli
Broccoli contains vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, folate,
dietary fiber, manganese, trytophan, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, phospshorus, magnesium, protein, omega-3 fatty acids,
vitamin B5, iron, calcium, vitamin B1, vitamin B3, zinc and vitamin E. Like other cruciferous vegetables, broccoli contains
the phytonutrients sulforaphane and indoles.
Carrots
Carrots contain beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamins
C, D, E, and K, Riboflavin, Niacin, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium and Iron.
Celery
Celery contains
fiber, potassium and vitamin C. It also contains some vitamin A, calcium, and the antioxidants lutein
and zeaxanthin.
Lettuce
Lettuce contains thiamin, vitamin B6, iron and potassium. It is a very good source
of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and manganese.
Parsley
Parsley contains vitamin
K, vitamin C, vitamin A, folate and iron. It also contains antioxidant phytonutrients called flavonoids
including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol and luteolin.
Watercress
Watercress contains folate, pantothenic acid
and copper. It is a very good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E (Apha Tocopherol), vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin,
vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese.
Blueberries
Blueberries contain vitamin
C, manganese, vitamin E and dietary fiber. The antioxidant phytonutrients called Anthocyanins are responsible for the blue-red
pigments found in blueberries.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate contains vitamin C and potassium. The polyphenols
in pomegranate (hydrolyzable tannins called punicalagins) are responsible for the red color.
OMEGA-3
FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 fatty acids are some of the most extensively researched natural nutritional ingredients
in the world. Among its many health benefits, the omega-3’s in Life’s Abundance help support healthy skin and
a shiny coat. We also included flaxseed meal for its outstanding nutritional profile and its contribution to healthy skin
and coat.
FLAX SEED MEAL
Flaxseed meal is the richest plant source of antioxidant lignans and Omega-3 fatty
acids. Flax seed meal also has a very high level of highly-digestible protein and essential amino acids. 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.
