Message from Dr. Jane
Great news! Life’s Abundance Premium
Health Foods now have improved recipes, and have the same great
flavor dogs and cats love! Of course, all of these wonderful
ingredients are balanced so that our foods are 100% nutritional,
according to AAFCO (Association of American Feed Officials).
It’s the same superior quality food that your furry ones
are accustomed to; I’ve just taken it to a whole new nutritional
level!
I’ve just had some pet parents ask me, “Why would
you change your recipe, especially when you know how beneficial
it these products already are?” And I say to them, it
is my duty as veterinarian, a pet lover and a product formulator
to do my very best for cats and dogs. And that includes making
improvements to an already excellent formula, if I find evidence
that the changes can really “up” the nutritional
value of a food, treat or supplement. I can assure you that
all of these upgrades are backed by good solid scientific research
that I have investigated myself.
Please remember, every single ingredient in Life’s Abundance
is carefully selected. Everything that goes into our foods is
included for a reason – to promote the health and well-being
of companion animals. As a holistic veterinarian, I need to
address all the needs of the body, judging the merits of ingredients
by their impact on an animal’s physiology, anatomy and
biochemistry. As a product formulator, I create recipes that
maximize the benefits so that we get the results we want –
which always amounts to improving health states. You never have
to worry that your lovely pet’s food is being made by
some anonymous formulator who only works with numbers, values
and percentages.
With Life’s
Abundance Premium Health Food for Puppies and Adult Dogs,
I have made some subtle but substantial enhancements, including
…
• An Antioxidant System including vitamins A, C and E,
as well as blueberries and pomegranates: studied for years,
antioxidants are recommended by prominent health and medical
organizations.
• Oat Groats: this natural source of complex carbohydrates
contains E and A oils, B vitamins, iron, zinc, copper and magnesium,
while providing an excellent source of fiber.
• A Proprietary Blend of Vitamins and Minerals: sourced
from a unique mixture of vitamins and minerals, as well as fruits
and vegetables, for a wide array of the nutrients that puppies
and dogs need to thrive.
With Life’s
Abundance Premium Health Food for Kittens and Adult Cats,
I have added …
• An Antioxidant System including vitamins A, C and E,
as well as pomegranates: for the same reason listed above.
• Dog Grass: helps supports a healthy urinary tract, which
is vital for cats.
• Alfalfa Sprouts: perhaps the richest in minerals of all
grasses, this herb helps support healthy joints.
• More Protein: we’ve increased the amount of the
same high-quality animal source proteins – chicken, catfish,
eggs, turkey and liver – for an excellent array of amino
acids.
And, with Life’s
Abundance Weight-Loss Formula for Adult Dogs, I’ve
added some of the great ingredients included in the above formula
for dogs, including …
• An Antioxidant System including vitamins A, C and E,
as well as blueberries and pomegranates.
• A Proprietary Blend of Vitamins and Minerals.
And, just like before, all of Life’s Abundance Premium
Health Foods contain high-quality proteins, whole grains, Omega
fatty acids, dietary fiber and direct-fed microbials (like those
found in yogurt). The kibble size has not changed, and neither
has the flavor. I am positive that you and your pet will continue
to enjoy the same benefits as before.
A Life’s Abundance diet means that your companion has
a tremendous nutritional advantage, and it will always mean
that, as long as I am here working to serve you and your family.
Thank you for caring enough to provide the best possible foods
for your pet kids. Together, we’re making the world a
better place for our beloved dogs and cats.
Best wishes,
Dr. Jane Bicks
