Pet Food Comparison
Why Should You Compare Brands?
Over the years pet food has not changed much.
Current pet food regulations still allow manufacturers to use
ingredients that you would never knowingly give to your pet.
We believe your pets should get the best products so they can
live the longest and healthiest life possible.
I suggest that
you base your purchasing decision on the quality and
effectiveness of the ingredients in the pet food. Compare the
pet food you use with other pet foods to determine if it
delivers the nutritional value your pet deserves. Do not be
swayed by clever marketing and pretty packaging that does not
benefit your pet.

Do You Know
What is in Your Pet's Food ?
Don’t see your brand of pet food Listed?
Here’s how to compare your brand to Life’s Abundance
Health Food for Dogs and Cats.
1. Get your bag of food. Look for the Ingredient Statement on
the label.
2. Read the first 5 ingredients. They play a significant role in
the nutritional make-up of a food.What are the protein sources? We believe the primary source
should come from quality animal protein, not vegetable protein
or grain. Foods that list 2 or more grains in the first 5
ingredients may have more vegetable protein than animal protein.
Life’s Abundance primary protein is chicken meal. Why? Because
chicken meat contains a certain amount of moisture; however,
chicken meal is a concentrated source of chicken protein because
most of the water has been removed. Therefore, it stands to
reason that you get a greater “protein content” in 1 pound of
chicken meal versus 1 pound of chicken.
What about grains? Two or more grains listed in the first 5
ingredients means your food may have more vegetable protein than
animal protein. Grains such as soy, corn, corn gluten and wheat
gluten can be difficult to digest, which means less nutrition
and more clean up.
Life’s Abundance lists only 1 grain in the first five
ingredients, ground brown rice.
Are there by-products? Some manufacturers consider by-products
inferior sources of protein and, depending on the source, they
can be difficult to digest.
Life’s Abundance does NOT contain by-products ingredients.
What are the fat sources? Some fats are better than others. We
believe the primary fat source in dog food should be animal based
because animal fats contain a profile of fatty acids that are
easily metabolized and thus are generally more available to the
body.
Life’s Abundance contains chicken fat.
3. Does your food contain other health-promoting ingredients,
such as:
Vegetables, Beet fiber, Antioxidants, Proteinated Minerals,
Bacteria cultures.
Your dog deserves the very best food. How does your food measure
up?
