Calculator Explained We have discovered an amazingly accurate way to calculate the cost of any pet food by using the KCal calculation method. For example, if you know a kibble contains 1,683 kcal per pound and 365 kcal per cup, you can easily deduct that a 40 pound bag of kibble contains 40 x 1,683 kcal = 67,320 kcal. If you divide that by the amount of kcal per cup, you get the amount of cups in a bag: 67,320 kcal/365 = 184.4. Once you have these numbers, you can then get an accurate feeding cost per day and per month using each brand's feeding chart and cost per bag. Click Here to go to Calculator under the TOOLS tab...

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? I only trust Life's Abundance Pet Products found at www.pipschoice.com

Pet Groomers making money

Pet Groomers making it big with Life's Abundance Are you hoping you can groom dogs for the rest of your life? I always hoped I would stay healthy to work until I retire. Wait... RETIRE - what am I saying. With gas prices, food, clothes, medicines and everything else going up up up, who can RETIRE. Well maybe you can. And here's how. The 20% Retail Bonus Bonanza! It gives us great pleasure to announce a very special promotion called the 20% Retail Bonus Bonanza. This promotion incentivizes recruiting and, therefore, encourages Field Reps in your downline to build their businesses much faster than usual. Here’s how the 20% Retail Bonus Bonanza will work … Enrollment Period: The enrollment period begins on April 1, 2011 and lasts through June 30, 2011. Eligibility Period: Field Reps are eligible to participate in this promotion the month they sign up during the enrollment period and the next three months following their sign-up. Criteria: A Field Rep must meet the following two criteria to qualify for the 20% Retail Bonus in a given month: (1) be an Executive Field Rep and (2) have at least $50.00 in Personal Sales. In an effort to help you better understand this promotion, we provided three different scenarios: Scenario #1: A recruit signs up as an Executive Field Rep on April 7th. This Field Rep is eligible for the 20% Retail Bonus for the remainder of the month of April, as well as all of May, June and July. After July 31st, the Retail Bonus reverts to the standard amount. Scenario #2: A recruit signs up as a basic Field Rep on April 7th, and then upgrades to Executive Field Rep status on June 7th. This Field Rep is eligible for the 20% Retail Bonus for the remainder of the month of June and all of July. After July 31st, the Retail Bonus reverts to the standard amount. Scenario #3: A recruit signs up as an Executive Field Rep on June 20th. This Field Rep is eligible for the 20% Retail Bonus for the remainder of the month of June, as well as all of July, August and September. After September 30th, the Retail Bonus reverts to the standard amount. Of course, it is to your advantage to work with the Reps in your organization to achieve $750.00 or more in Personal Sales, so they never have to go below the 20% Retail Bonus level. Finally, because we do not want you to wait until April to sign up new Field Reps, the recruits that you sign up in March are eligible to participate in this promotion in April, May, June and July, as long as they meet the criteria. Actually, this is the same eligibility period if you signed up a Field Rep in April. Here’s why the 20% Retail Bonus Bonanza will be a very effective recruiting program: Incentive: This special promotion can help convince a prospect who’s “on the fence” to join now. Need for Speed: The limited-time enrollment period helps you to convey to recruits a sense of urgency. Mentoring: This promotion provides you the perfect opportunity to mentor new recruits. You can explain the importance of working together to achieve the $750.00 level before the promotion ends. That way, your new Rep will be much less likely to ever revert back to lower levels of the Retail Bonus. Satisfaction: More money in new Field Reps’ pockets not only fosters a great sense of satisfaction, it also encourages them to actively continue building their businesses. Experience: Once a new Field Rep knows how to achieve the 4-Star level, he or she has internalized many of the basics of success. We believe the 20% Retail Bonus Bonanza will prove to be a highly effective recruiting and business-building tool. We encourage you to contact the Field Reps in your downline and convince them to take advantage of this very special offer!

Price per pound for dog and cat food

Price Per Pound First, let's talk about price per pound. Any decent dog food will usually start at about $1.50 to $1.75 per pound and a good quality cat food will start at about $2.oo per pound. This is not unlike the way we shop for meats, fruits, or vegetables. Anything under this price range should not be considered. It costs money to manufacture a good pet food. If you are spending less than this per pound, you are most likely buying junk. Price Per Feeding Second, let's examine price per feeding. Just because it appears that you are saving money on a "bargain brand", doesn't mean that you are. Comparing the price of one bag vs. another bag will lead you to a false conclusion. It often takes up to twice as much bargain brand food to equal one serving of a better food because of more digestibilty (not to mention better quality). So in reality, you may actually be buying double the amount of pet food and not saving any money after all. Consider the following example of cost per feeding for a 30 pound adult dog. If you were to buy a cheaper grocery store brand like Beneful dog food, the cost for a 15.5 lb bag would be about $20.00. Alternatively, the cost for a 20lb bag of Life's Abundance holistic dog food would cost about $31.00. That is an $11.00 difference per bag. However, the cost per feeding would be amazingly similar. The cost of feeding beneful dog food would be about .55 cents per day while the Lifes Abundance dog food would be about .64 cents per day. Therefore, to feed Beneful dog food for 1 month would cost $16.50, but to feed a much higher quality holistic diet would cost $19.20 for that same month. An overall difference of only $2.70! Be An Educated Shopper Finally, we all must be informed shoppers when it comes to which dog food and which cat food we are willing to buy. Many manufacturers get their ingredients from overseas to save on costs and many foods have been recalled. It simply DOES NOT PAY to buy cheap dog food or cat food. If you would like to feed your pet a human quality pet food (for about 50 cents a day) click here to contact us. We also have a home based busines opportunity for you to share our superior products and get paid! susanpotts@pipschoice.com

Shetland Sheepdog grooming

This little handsome guy is Scout. He came into the grooming parlor with some very matted pants and a whole lot of fly away hair. I dematted the coat with my new "Emergency" Matzapper Brush from Les Pooches. Then bathed and dried him and scissored to neaten up his coat. Special Note: The coat of a Sheltie is easier to care for than you might think, but regular brushing is important to avoid mats from forming. You start by misting the coat lightly with water or what I like to use is the Bath Fresh Mist from Life's Abundance. Brush out the tangles before they turn into mats, if you don't the hair will become to bad and this will cause coat damage. This breed is a seasonally heavy shedder. The dense undercoat is shed twice a year: in the spring and fall. The coat readily sheds dirt and mud and Shelties really like to be clean.
