The Best dog food For Your Precious Companion

Did anyone see the special on TV this week. About the dog food scandal in 2007. Did you see how the big companies pull the wool over our eyes and get us to practically “poison” our dogs and cats”? Did you see how they split up the grains in the ingredients just so that the grains won’t be listed in the top of the list?

- the list of ingredients has to be listed by volume – what it contains the most of to the least of!

- so, if a company uses corn…in order for the corn NOT to be the top listed ingredient, they split it up:

– corn meal

-corn

-corn gluten…this way the “volume” of corn is in three. If they just listed corn, it would be the top ingredient.

Now that’s pretty sneaky, isn’t it? I read on the web that some big companies even have a suit against them because they use “euthanized animals” WOW! It’s a deep and terrible world where we, the consumers, are constantly fooled.

Check out what you get in Dr Jan Bicks Formulated Foods! ( I still think this is the best dog food)

1. Get your bag of food. Look for the Ingredient Statement on the label.

2. Read the first 5 ingredients. They play a significant role in the nutritional make-up of a food.

• What are the protein sources? We believe the primary source should come from quality animal protein, not vegetable protein or grain. Foods that list 2 or more grains in the first 5 ingredients may have more vegetable protein than animal protein.Life’s Abundance primary protein is chicken meal. Why? Because chicken meat contains a certain amount of moisture; however, chicken meal is a concentrated source of chicken protein because most of the water has been removed. Therefore, it stands to reason that you get a greater “protein content” in 1 pound of chicken meal versus 1 pound of chicken.
• What about grains? Two or more grains listed in the first 5 ingredients means your food may have more vegetable protein than animal protein. Grains such as soy, corn, corn gluten and wheat gluten can be difficult to digest, which means less nutrition and more clean up.Life’s Abundance lists only 1 grain in the first five ingredients, ground brown rice.
• Are there by-products? Some manufacturers consider by-products inferior sources of protein and, depending on the source, they can be difficult to digest.Life’s Abundance does NOT contain by-products ingredients.
• What are the fat sources? Some fats are better than others. We believe the primary fat source in dogfood should be animal based because animal fats contain a profile of fatty acids that are easily metabolized and thus are generally more available to the body.Life’s Abundance contains chicken fat.

3. Does your food contain other health-promoting ingredients, such as:
Vegetables, Beet fiber, Antioxidants, Proteinated Minerals, Bacteria cultures.

Your dog deserves the very best dog food. How does your food measure up?
