Welcome to Poodle Pulse! Today’s topic is Choosing the right food and supplements for health and vitality!

Health and Vitality

We’ve always prioritized the health and happiness of our beloved pets – and we understand that our clients share the same concern!

That’s why we delved deeper into researching the nutrition we provide to our dogs. Amanda completed several studies on dog food during her pre-vet schooling, which I feel gave us a good head-start. After an extensive exploration of the topic of canine nutrition and food quality including AAFCO, AAHA, PetMD, and many other sources, we were growing concerned about any ‘real’ options for our beloved dogs. I was especially concerned for my puppies as their food was missing a key ingredient (DHA) recommended by AAFCO.

Then I was referred by a friend to an exceptional line of pet products. Alright, imagine a product that leads to less pet waste, less odor in that waste, and provides superior nutrition for our dogs with ingredients of human-grade quality. Why wouldn’t I give it a shot? I did extensive research as I am apt to do and ordered some samples. Happily, this food stands out as the epitome of quality, surpassing any other options on the market – and it’s surprisingly affordable when you consider all of the details!

The food is made is small batches so there’s no inventory sitting in warehouses for extended periods. AND a bag of food is taken from EVERY one of those small batches and sent to an independent testing lab to confirm the nutritional values and quality. Without hesitation, we transitioned our pups and dogs to this superior food, and we were so impressed that we decided to align ourselves with the company!

Life’s Abundance offers direct shipping to customers, making it incredibly convenient – say goodbye to hauling heavy bags of dog food to your car! Plus, their dry food batches are produced in limited runs regularly, minimizing storage time and ensuring the freshest product arrives at your doorstep within just 4-6 weeks of being made! Here is my list of pros and cons:

Pros 

• Human-Grade ingredients
• High-quality protein sources
• Good balance of omega fatty acids
• Lower in calories
• Nutrient profile is above average in terms of typical dry food
• Excellent for skin and coat

Cons 

• Not available in commercial stores so convenience is low
• A bit pricey for the lamb and brown rice variety

Furthermore, with a flawless record of zero recalls and a generous 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee, they set a standard that few can match.  

Which other food can boast such credentials?

I wanted to make a comparison serving to serving, so of course I created a spreadsheet, lol! There are some key differences that I appreciate in the Life’s Abundance food. Also, per serving, Life’s Abundance All Life Stages food is less expensive than what I had been feeding! With my dogs, that saves me about $1 per meal!

We strongly encourage you to try this food; your pet will thank you for it! You can also find supplements, treats and chew in addition to other quality products for people and pets. Here is a link to my page: lifesabundance.com/spfl

From the company’s website:

Important Info About the Life’s Abundance Company: Life’s Abundance is a holistically formulated pet food company that has chosen to direct ship our products to the public rather than through the pet stores. We do this on purpose. Our product formulators include Dr. Jane Bicks, a retired holistic veterinarian who has 30 plus years of expertise in the pet food industry, along with a team of industry experts. Dr. Jane has worked with a lot of major pet companies in the past, but left them years ago because they went the way of economics rather than better nutrition. Dr. Jane realized that most pet foods get spoiled and damaged by the fact that they are sold through stores. The industry average for pet foods to sit around is 6 months to a year. So we bypass pet food stores altogether and ship the freshest possible product in the industry right to people’s homes. Our products are made with high quality premium ingredients. Most pet foods are made from what’s been rejected for people. People like to call their pets their children, but I guarantee they would never feed commercial pet foods to their actual children. When people discover our products, however, they stick with them for life because they produce genuine results – and we do a good job at educating the customer. In fact, 70% of our customers are on a regular auto-shipment. So, in a nutshell, there really is no other pet food that can come close to what we do. We’ve been in business since 1999 and HAVE NEVER BEEN RECALLED.

Only the finest ingredients go into our foods:

• A proprietary blend of vitamins & minerals
• High-quality protein from chicken meal for strong muscles
• An antioxidant system including vitamins C & E
• Prebiotic fiber & guaranteed pet-specific probiotics
• Omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin & a shiny coat
• Calcium & phosphorus for healthy teeth and strong bones
• Dietary fiber to help maintain a healthy digestive tract (see details about Firmtastic below)

Here’s what we leave out of this recipe:

• No artificial flavors or colors
• No corn or corn gluten
• No wheat or wheat gluten

We take the quality of your pet’s food seriously and therefore maintain the highest standards of product safety so you’re getting the premium pet products you’ve come to expect from us.

When you feed your dog this recipe for all life stages, they’ll have a clearer path to overall wellness and a healthier lifestyle for an all-around happier pup!
