How Is Your Pet Food Sold


This is one of the most important aspects when choosing a pet food, next to ingredients, which is another story. Why? Freshness, safe handling, storage, what conditions has the pet food been exposed to?

Due to 50+ years of the same old distribution practices, the industry standard for distributing pet food that is sold in the national chain stores is 6 months of inventory up-front for future sales.

This means your pet food could be anywhere from 6 to 18 months old, what does this mean for your beloved pet:

Nutrient loss, possible spoilage, insecticides sprayed to keep bugs and rodents away. We have seen pet food set on semi-trailers for 6 months or more in the freezing cold and scorching sun because there was no room in the warehouse.

Shopping for your pet's meal can sometimes be as confusing as shopping for an electronic device such as a cell phone.

Which one is the best? Am I getting a good deal? Is there any fine print? How reliable is this company? Everyone wants to give their pet the best there is, but often it is a difficult task because of all the different choices of pet foods available.

The most curious part about all this is, there are pet food companies that sell pet food for $15-$25. That same company will sell a "better" pet food for more money with virtually the same ingredients

Does this make any sense? If commercial pet food companies cared about our pets why would they offer us a lower grade pet food?

Seems like they are more concerned about what we can afford than the well being of our companion animals.

The next time you're in a pet food chain store take a look at all the varieties of one brand, why so many?

Shelf space competition, the more you see of "me" chances are you're going to purchase "me". Most pet foods on the market today are formulated by marketing design not what is best for my pet.

Over $300 million is spent each year on pet food advertising, which contains statements or visions that are misleading. Fresh cuts of meat, vegetables, wholesome grains, these pet foods also contain by-products, harmful preservatives, wheat gluten, soy and other ingredients you would never knowingly feed your pet.

How Is Your Pet Food Sold

Who makes your pet food is just as important as how it is sold. Most companies like to have 6 months of inventory on hand and with some pet food it can be as much as 18 months.

Shopping for your pet's meal can sometimes be as confusing as shopping for an electronic device such as a cell phone. Which one is the best? Am I getting a good deal? Is there any fine print? How reliable is this company? Everyone wants to give their pet the best there is, but often it is a difficult task because of all the different choices of pet foods available.

What does all this mean? You really don't know where or who handled your pets' food. If chemicals were used to keep bugs and rodents away, was it sitting on a semi-trailer in the brutal sun and freezing cold. How old is my pet food? with most pet food you really don't know. Pet food starts to loose nutrient over time, This Pet Food will never be more than 4-6 weeks old.
Most pet food companies are multi-national corporations that are not in the pet food business for the good of your pet. Companies such as:

Delmonte: gobbled up Heinz who makes Meow Mix, Gravy Train, Kibbles n Bits, Wagwells, Cycle, 9 Lives, Nature's Recipe & treats like Milk Bone, Pupperoni, Pounce, Snausages.

Master Foods: owns Mars, Inc. which consumed Royal Canin, Pedigree, Walthams, Ceasar, Sheba, Temptations, Good Life Recipe, Sensible Choice & Excel.

Procter & Gamble: Iams & Eukanuba

Nestles: Purina, Alpo, Mighty Dog, Pro Plan, Beneful, Fancy Feast, Dog Chow, Puppy Chow, Kitten Chow, Tender Vittles & Purina Veterinarian diets.

Colgate/Palmolive: Hills Science Diet

Looking at these produdct lines between Puppy Chow vs. Pro Plan, Science diet regular vs. Science Diet Natural, Nutro Max vs Nutro Ultra. There isn't a lot of difference between the ingredients in these products but they ask more money for virtually the same product. Why? They will sell a food to accomodate any budget.

Let's look at their track record: between Iams & Eukanuba, 68 of their varieties have been recalled. Science Diet 16 varieties, Natural Balance 3 and the list goes on and on. The sad fact is that people still trust these companies with the health and well being of their companion animal.

Quality & Freshness. Life's Abundance is always made with fresh ingredients, which gives your pet the best quality possible. We use our exclusive "fast-cook" process to preserve the fresh taste of natural foods. This technique maintains natural flavors and nutritional value better than those found in many store-bought products. In addition, we use a blend of natural antioxidants to help our food stay fresh, as well as to help your dog to maintain a healthy immune system. To ensure that you get the freshest food possible, we make our food in small, frequent batches.

Safety & Quality Control. Our manufacturer is APHIS-certified to sell pet food in the European market, which has more stringent regulations than the U.S.

Choosing Treats Wisely

There's been a great deal of attention focused upon dog and cat foods lately, especially in light of the pet food recalls. Similarly, we should turn a critical eye towards the hundreds of treats that dogs consume on a regular basis.

Many of the mass-produced treats on the market today contain the leftover cereals and other unsuitable ingredients, which are better for company profits than the long-term health of dogs. Artificial coloring and chemical preservatives are included in most to maintain freshness, as these well-known brands typically spend months stored in warehouses before ultimately being shipped to your local grocery. Upon inspecting their labels, you'll find many contain wheat flour, soy flour, dextrose, BHA, high fructose corn syrup and garlic. These products are known to be hard for your dog to digest and some can have potentially harmful effects. In fact, garlic can be toxic to dogs.

As pet parents, we know that our companion animals depend solely upon us for their nutritional intake. And since good nutrition is important for our pets to live a long and healthy life, it is important to choose a nutrient-rich treat that can be a part of your pet's overall diet.

Wholesome Hearts Low-Fat Dog Treats all-natural, low fat dog treats with high quality proteins and harvest-fresh fruits, vegetables and multi-grains. And they are fortified with L-Carnitine for a healthy heart and fat metabolism, making them perfect for dogs that could stand to shed a few pounds. Wholesome Hearts contain sliced apples, squash, yellow field peas, tomatoes, cloves (which have high antioxidant values), cranberries, pumpkin, ginger and nutmeg. The rice germ/bran included in this recipe has been studied at the University of Illinois for its ability to support immune system functioning and skin and coat health, and is chock full of protein and B vitamins.

Some of the treats are formulated to help promote the health of a specific part of your pet's body. Healthy teeth and gums are an important consideration for your dog's overall health. It is always a good idea to brush your dog's teeth, but sometimes that is not always possible. Gourmet Dental Treats for Dogs contain a variety of whole grains and protein, and calcium and phosphorous for strong bones and teeth. And, the parsley in these treats freshens your dog's breath right away.

Who Makes Your Pet Food

Who makes your pet food is just as important as how it is sold. Most companies like to have 6 months of inventory on hand and with some companies it can be as much as 18 months.

Shopping for your pet's meal can sometimes be as confusing as shopping for an electronic device such as a cell phone. Which one is the best? Am I getting a good deal? Is there any fine print?

If chemicals were used to keep bugs and rodents away, was it sitting on a semi-trailer in the brutal sun and freezing cold. How old is my pet food? with most pet food you really don't know. Pet food starts to loose nutrient value the day it was put in the bag, with Lifes Abundance your pet food will never be more than 4-6 weeks old.

Pet Food Recalls

Never before has the pet-food industry been rocked by widespread contamination and rampant recalls. In all, more than 5,600 products by dozens of pet food makers have been recalled, from chain supermarket brands to prescription-only foods. This is a staggering number of products, and is unprecedented in this business.

Thousands of deaths are due to the contamination, and many thousands more have suffered illnesses. We shudder to think of the long-term impacts of the compromised liver and kidney function and how this will affect thousands of companion animals in America.

Leading experts believe that the severe reactions experienced by some cats and dogs were the result of an interaction of chemicals, between the melamine and a list of other culprits, including cyuranic acid.

We're saddened by the hardships and losses that pet parents have sustained, but we're not surprised. For nearly a decade, we've advocated the use of premium, human-quality ingredients in foods for companion animals. It's incredibly unfortunate that pet food corporations still include ingredients that we believe to be inferior like wheat and corn gluten, substances that are used to boost the protein value of lower quality foods.

We know that the single best thing you can do for your dog or cat is to feed them the healthiest diet possible.

Life's Abundance
Offers Exceptional Nutrition

For nearly a decade, HealthyPetNet has attempted to educate the public that many of the mass produced pet foods currently manufactured use ingredients that you would never knowingly feed your cat or dog.

Obiedience Training

Every year, millions of Americans welcome a new dog into their home, particularly in the late spring and early summer. And every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs are given up for adoption, chiefly because they exhibit unruly behavior. Why? Because many people think they know everything necessary to train their companion animals, when really they have nothing other than a vague idea.

Experts agree, obedience training is absolutely essential to the long-term success of the relationship between you and your dog. Training provides parameters for acceptable behavior and helps to ensure the safety of your precious pup, as well as the safety of others coming in contact with your dog.

There are two primary cornerstones of obedience training: consistency and positive reinforcement. Consistency is simply this – always reward the desired behavior and never reward unwanted behavior. Another aspect of consistency is an agreement that everyone issuing commands uses the same words that you do. And positive reinforcement can take many forms, but at root it is providing incentives for good behavior and a steadfast promise never to physically abuse your canine as punishment. If you can commit to providing consistency and positive reinforcement, you’re well on your way to teaching your dog basic obedience behavior.

Here’s a term you’ll hear in relation to canine behavior – dominance hierarchy, which is a fancy way of describing the social structure of dogs. Basically, it means that dogs, as social beings, crave structure. Often, when dogs are fearful of new situations and unexpected noises, it’s commonly due to a lack of an established social structure in their adopted family. It’s up to you to position yourself as the dominant leader, establishing that your dog falls below you in the family ranking.

No matter what type of training you choose, timing is essential. It is absolutely imperative that you reward your dog within seconds of the correct behavior. Waiting longer than a couple of seconds will be confusing to your dog, as she will not be able to associate the positive reinforcement with the appropriate behavior.

While there are many things you need to do, there are a few that you need to make certain that you do not do. Here are a couple of items that fall in the latter category …

• Do not repeat the specified command multiple times to get your dog to do the behavior once. You’re defeating the purpose of training by teaching him/her that there are times when it’s okay not to do the behavior in association with the command.

• Do not punish your dog for failure to execute a specified command. If you do, you’ll immediately teach them that training is something to fear. Believe us, you don’t want to do this. While there are many schools of thought on the best way to train, all experts can agree on this issue. While some fringe (and possibly very mean) people will insist that negative reinforcement is an effective tool for training, it will always take longer, be less effective and it will cause your dog to have difficulty trusting you in the future.

While we’ve tried to stress that you should not punish your dog during obedience training, sometimes negative reinforcement is necessary to deter unwanted behavior. As doling out punishments can negatively impact your dog’s trust, it’s best that the negative stimulus appears to come from an object (other than you), like shaking a small container full of coins (trust us, it’s an unpleasant sound to your dog). Again, it’s very important that the negative stimulus occur during or immediately after the undesired action.

A final warning on negative reinforcement – if incorrectly used, you’ll risk making your dog fearful, distrustful and possibly aggressive, only to be more likely to exhibit negative behaviors.

Commit to doing the best that you can. Tens of thousands of people successfully train their puppies and dogs every year. Keep in mind that there are many different approaches and methods of dog training. That’s why it’s important to speak to your vet or a trusted pet professional for recommendations regarding local trainers who will be a good match for you and your dog.

Remember, most canines are eager to please. They want you to show them what to do. Training is just as much about teaching your dog as it is learning acceptable methods of training yourself.
By harnessing your dog’s natural curiosity, you’ll both be on your way to a long and pleasant life together.

Our chicken is from selected high quality chicken meal derived from human-grade processing plants. Removing the water and moisture provides a more concentrated form of protein.

Egg is a complete protein. It is one of the most digestible forms of protein and full of vitamins A, B, E, K, biotin, sulfur and amino acids...all needed for cell growth.

Fish Meal is high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, great for the health of your cat’s skin & coat.
Chicken Liver Meal is an excellent source of protein and rich in taurine and vitamin A. Cats need liver because they can't convert beta-carotene from vegetables into vitamin A like dogs and humans can.
Turkey Meal is a very digestible form of protein.

Life's Abundance is rich in powerful antioxidants from whole food sources such as carrots, spinach, celery, garlic, alfalfa leaf and apples.

We've also added grape seed extract, one of the finest and most potent antioxidants known today.

Life’s Abundance contains brown rice ... one of the most digestible carbohydrates supplying your cat with a superior energy source.

Life’s Abundance is nutrient dense with vitamins, minerals, fats and fatty acids essential for the optimal health of your dog. Our minerals are chelated for maximum absorption.
Life’s Abundance uses Probiotics and beet pulp which promote a healthy digestive tract. Lactobacillus Acidophilus helps to maintain the delicate balance of friendly bacteria in your dog’s intestines. Beet pulp is a great source of fiber, and unlike many other fiber sources, produces special components called short chain fatty acids which the good bacteria depend upon for food."
