CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS * Life's Abundance Pet Food

I have been very gratified with the results of feeding Life's Abundance food to several animals with problems. One cat, an older Somali, was to the point where he was about to be put down. He'd been sick since 1999 and nothing the vet could do was helping. His weight was down to five pounds and he had such bad diarrhea that he had to be caged. Not a quality life! After only a few days on the Life's Abundance cat food, the diarrhea was gone and he can run around the house again and is gaining weight. His owner is ecstatic! This is the kind of thing that makes me happy and I'll bet it would make you happy too! - Gale

I decided it was time to test out Life’s Abundance for each of my pups and I almost lost a finger trying to open the bag! Needles to say, I will be going online to set up a monthly autoship order of 3 - 20lb bags. - Paul

My Labrador retriever Nellie's teeth always were stained and yellow with dark patches for the past 4 years. My husband thought there was no way her teeth would ever be pearly white. Tonight he said, "You have to see this! Nellie's teeth are 100% white with no stains, or patches. Our other dog BO has been on the Life's Abundance food since he was a pup and his teeth are whiter than white. Thank You Life's Abundance Food, Gourmet Dental Treat with Microdent and all the other great products! - Jules
