Frequently Asked Questions |

Question: I have a white haired dog and I am concerned about tear stains in the eyes. Why does this happen and will your food help? Answer: Life’s Abundance pet foods will not produce tear stains in your pets eyes. Many people mistake the reason for the red colored tear stains in their dogs eyes with the ingredient “Beet Pulp”. This, however, is not the problem. Beet Pulp is a tremendous fiber source. The Beet Pulp used in Life’s Abundance products are “Grey Beets”, not red. Also, the sugar is totally removed. All that is used in our foods is the pulp (fiber). The problem comes from an imbalance of minerals in the diet. Imbalances can occur when there is too little or too much of certain ingredients. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to mix foods together, or to add things to their pets food. This is a sure way to create imbalances in the diet . |

Question: Does Life’s Abundance come in different formulas, i.e. Puppy / Kitten, Adult, Senior? Answer: No, Life’s Abundance is formulated to satisfy all stages of your pets life. Our philosophy is simple. Give your pet the highest quality ingredients possible (hormone and steroid free meats, human grade ingredients) and there is no need for another formula. For example, puppies require a little more protein and fat while they are maturing, therefore, we recommend feeding a little more. Seniors need less protein and fat and so we recommend feeding a little less. It’s that simple! We are not concerned with competing for shelf space at the local store like other brands. More formulations mean more shelf space. Life’s Abundance is shipped direct to your home and so we will only sell what is necessary for your pets good health. |

Question: Why can’t I find Life’s Abundance in my local Pet Store? Answer: Life’s Abundance Premium Pet Foods is not sold in stores. We ship direct to your door to guarantee freshness. On average, you will never receive an order from us that is more than 6 weeks old. Also, this limits the number of parties that must handle your pets food. Our products go straight from our facility to your home. |

Question: Why is Life’s Abundance priced higher than my current brand? Answer: We do not believe in sacrificing quality for price. Which would you rather eat, a Filet Mignon or a fast food hamburger? The answer is obvious, but which cut of meat costs more? The Filet Mignon. None of us, I hope, would make a steady diet of fast food because we realize the possible long term effects. Our animals are no different. They eat the same food 95% of the time. If it is equal to “cheap, fast food”, then they will eventually pay a larger price with regard to health concerns. We would rather see your pet eating right from day one, and avoid costly health issues later. Also, what most people do not realize is that you will feed as much as 50% less of Life’s Abundance than other commercial pet foods because it is so nutrient dense. |

Question: My dog / cat requires lower protein. Are Life’s Abundance protein levels right for my dog / cat? Answer: The amount of protein is not always the issue. It is the quality of the protein that matters. Not all protein is equal. Some protein sources in pet food are of poor quality and highly indigestible. An example of poor quality protein sources could be: Corn, Soy, Wheat, By-Products. We recommend you avoid these ingredients. Although your pet food could have as much as 35% protein, if only half of that is digestible, then your pet is suffering. First, your pet is lacking in proper protein levels that help build muscle and tissue. Second, your pets kidneys can be overworked by having to process such crude protein sources, and could even fail. The answer is not always to raise or lower the protein. The answer oftentimes is to raise the quality and digestibility of the protein. Our protein sources are as pure as they come. They include - Chicken Meal (this is pure meat, not leftovers), Whole Egg (100% useable and digestible protein), and Farm Raised Catfish Meal. These ingredients are high in quality and digestibility. |

Question: I am concerned about Feline Urinary Syndrome. Does your Cat food address this concern? Answer: Life’s Abundance may prevent your cat from ever having this problem. The root cause of Feline Urinary Syndrome has been misunderstood for years. At one time, conventional wisdom said that “Ash” or minerals were to blame for this problem. We now know, however, that Ash is not the problem. Cats that are on a steady diet of mice do not develop crystals in their urinary tract. Why? Because the high levels of digestible protein they are receiving keep the acid level in the urine high enough to prevent the formation of crystals. Life’s Abundance has 5 highly digestible protein sources to help keep the urine acidic. Plus, our minerals are chelated for better absorption. |

Question: If Life’s Abundance is Complete and Balanced, why do you sell a Supplement? Answer: There are simply some things that cannot be put in a pet food effectively. Our Daily Nutritional Supplement is a unique formulation that must be made separate from our food. In order for your pet to get all of the nutrition that Dr. Jane recommends, you must use both products. That is not to say that your pet will not thrive on just the food alone, but food alone, sometimes is not enough. Just like people, pets can benefit from the extra protection of supplementation. Our Nutritional Supplement gives your pet things like, Patented Ester C, Phytonutrients, Beta-Sitosterol, Barley Grass, etc. |

Question: Your food has Chicken Meal. Isn’t Chicken better than Chicken Meal? Answer: Actually, No. By definition, Chicken can include the skin, bone, fat, and water. Our Chicken Meal is just meat. The water is drained and the fat, bones, and skin are removed. This gives your pet a pure meat source. |
|
Question: What are By-Products? Answer: By-Products can include heads, feet, beaks, feathers, bone, etc. By definition, by-products do not have to contain any meat whatsoever. Basically, by-products are the left overs of animal carcasses that are not fit for human consumption and end up in pet foods. I ask you, is this an ingredient fit for a “Premium” pet food. We think not. Why would we feed our pets something that we would not eat? By-products also contain protein, but it is highly indigestible. This helps makes up the percentage of protein in the Guaranteed Analysis on your pet food label. But since it is indigestible, what amount of protein is your pet really getting? Shoe leather has protein too, but would we feed it to our pets! |
