Pet Food Makers * Who Makes your Pet food?

Who Makes Your Pet Food?
You might be surprised to learn who is in the Pet Food Business today. The same companies that make many of your household items like toothpaste, potato chips, laundry detergent, and more, are also making the majority of pet foods in the commercial marketplace. Here is a small list for you to be aware of...

•Proctor and Gamble - Iams and Eukanuba
•Colgate/Palmolive - Science Diet
•Del Monte - Gravy Train, Natures Recipe, Kibbles and Bits
•Diamond - Kirkland, Chicken Soup, Nutra Gold
•Nestle - Purina products
•Mars - Royal Canin, Pedigree, Sensible Choice
•and more

Although there is nothing particularly wrong with the fact that these large companies are now in the pet food business, the real consideration is whether or not you choose to purchase your pet's food from a company whose primary focus is NOT pet food vs. a company whose primary focus IS pet food. The question simply boils down to, who do you trust to feed your pet?

She is the author of three national books on pet care and nutrition and has served on professional boards including the Cornell Feline Health Center.

Testimonial Life's Abundance Pet Food

After having the third pet diagnosed with severe liver disease (the second on the same cat food) I decided to search the web for an "organic" pet food. All my searching brought me to an old friend and Life's Abundance Pet Food. I purchased both dog and cat food. I was told to mix our dog's food half and half until she got used to it. Imagine our surprise when our dog Abby starts eating her first bowl of food and is spitting out pieces of food. My husband thought at first that she was spitting out the Life's Abundance. Not so. She was picking out all of the "old" dog food and eating the Life's Abundance. Another thing that has amazed us since putting her on Life's Abundance is the fact that she isn't eating the cat's food anymore. Before, she would run in and eat the cat's leftover food as soon as she was done. Not any more! Our cat is also on Life's Abundance, and considering her health status, is doing very well. Abby is 8 yrs. old, and has been on many different brands of dog food. This is the first that she has liked right away. I recommend Life's Abundance to any pet owner who is interested in better nutrition for their pet.

Healthy Dog & Cat Food and The Ingredients to Avoid

Not all pet food is created equal - A healthy diet leads to a healthy, happy pet.
Not only will a healthy diet of good food greatly improve you pet's overall well being, it will add years to your pet's life. Many low-grade pet foods contain harmful ingredients with no nutritional value at all and most are used as fillers that are harmful to your pet and can cause serious health problems.

These are the ingredients to avoid when shopping for a pet food:


•Unnamed food ingredients (poultry by-products, meat and bone meal)
•Protein fillers (corn gluten meal, wheat gluten, egg product meal)
•Carbohydrate fillers (refined flours, wheat, mill runs, brewer’s rice)
•Fats from non-specific sources (animal fat, poultry fat, vegetable oil)
•Synthetic preservatives (BHA,BHT, ethoxyquin)
•Coloring (caramel color, FD&C colors)

Read your labels, do they contain any of these BAD ingredients? If your answer is yes, I urge you to check out Life's Abundance.
Please email me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly.
