Putting a Premium on Pet Health - Intro from Life's Abundance on Vimeo.

The secret to superior pet food lies in the formula itself – not only in the ingredients but also in the proportions of those ingredients to each other. While many cat foods may meet technical standards for dietary requirements, some pet food manufacturers cut corners on their ingredients, which affects the quality of the overall formula. To help you choose the best food for your dear companion, I have identified eight crucial measures upon which all cat foods can be judged. Keep in mind that the food you choose should score well in every category, as does Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Kitten and Adult Cats. Remember, your cat deserves nothing less than the very best.

See Beyond the Hype

The brand you feed is the most important decision you can make as a pet parent. Because your cat eats the same food every day, it's his primary source of nutrition. And superior cat food can help to foster a solid nutritional foundation, which can help sustain your cat over a long and healthy lifetime.

As a caring pet parent, you must see through marketing ploys designed to mislead you about the quality of ingredients and their intended dietary benefits.

Additionally, some competing brands use wheat and wheat glutens, corn and corn glutens, as well as artificial food colors and preservatives. Life's Abundance never has and never will. That's part of their commitment to you and your cat to provide the safest and most innovative nutritional formulas for a better life.

The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts

While the top five ingredients of a given cat food provide the consumer with insight into the nutritional priorities of a pet food maker, they don't tell the whole story. Every ingredient plays a critical part, which is why Life's Abundance provides a comparison based on eight different quantitative measures. Furthermore, the secret to superior pet food lies in the formula itself – not only in the ingredients but also in the proportions of those ingredients to one another.

The significance of the ratios cannot be understated. Life's Abundance long-time pet food formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, stresses the importance of synergism, or the interaction of ingredients, because the proper proportions help to maximize the nutritional impact of a formula. As with any recipe, if you use the wrong ratios, you will get very different results.

With quality ingredients working synergistically with one another, you can be certain that you're providing the very best for your companion animal.

Pet Food or Junk Food?

Not all pet food manufacturers have your cat's best interests in mind. Unfortunately, many pet food companies use ingredients that you would never knowingly feed your cat. Some intentionally attempt to mislead you with clever marketing, touting ingredients that sound appealing to you but are not suited to the nutritional requirements of cats or dogs. At Life's Abundance, they focus on what felines and canines truly need to help ensure a lifetime of good health, rather than on making the cheapest possible product that might not fulfill your cat's dietary needs.

Only Everything Wholesome

Life's Abundance premium cat food recipe features safe and wholesome ingredients. But for cat food to be considered truly exceptional, Life's Abundance believes it must meet several specific nutritional criteria. Not only should a cat food score well on the majority of eight distinct measures, it must score well on every measure. Even if one area is overlooked, you could be compromising your cat's chances for wellness and longevity.

To account for the unique dietary needs of your cat, all of the following must be included in the formula:

• a diverse array of high-quality proteins; healthy species-specific animal fat;
• a guaranteed amount of the antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E;
• a guaranteed amount of omega-3 fatty acids (for optimal benefit omega-3's should be scientifically balanced with omega-6 fatty acids); prebiotics;
• a guaranteed amount of probiotics;
• an array of vegetables; and fruits.
• Furthermore, to minimize health risks, no wheat or wheat gluten or corn or corn gluten-based products should be featured.

If your current food doesn't score well on every single one of these eight distinct measures, we strongly suggest that you feed your beloved feline Life's Abundance.

A Tradition of Quality and Safety

Even though the quality and variety of ingredients provide insight to the strength of a food's formula, they shouldn't be your only consideration when choosing the right food for your cat. The process by which the food is made is equally vital. Life's Abundance premium dry health food is prepared by a family-owned, third-generation pet food maker, where creating a high-quality food is not only a priority and a family tradition, it's an art form. Batches of food are produced in limited runs every week, minimizing periods of storage and helping Life's Abundance to deliver the freshest possible product to your front door.

What You Don't Know Could Be Harming Your Pet

When you pick up a bag of cat food from a retail store, it's impossible to know the history behind the product you're holding. You don't know how long it's been on the shelf, or how long it lingered in the storeroom before being placed on the shelf. You don't know how long it was stowed in a shipping container, subjected to temperature extremes. You don't know how long it was stockpiled in a distribution center before shipping. Many mass-produced cat foods are stashed away in tractor-trailers without any form of climate control for weeks, even months. And, you have no idea if proper handling of bags and pest control are priorities for the packaging centers and warehouses where the product is bagged and stored.

Why does it matter that you can't know the history of the retail product? As you might correctly guess, the way a cat food is stored can directly affect its nutritional value and safety. The bottom line is, that just because it's store-bought doesn't mean it's fresh.

Control over Formulas from Start to Finish

At Life's Abundance, they do not leave factors that impact safety and quality to chance. Their commitment to providing your cat with superior food goes well beyond the formula and the individual ingredients. To ensure the safety and quality of the final product, they exercise control, from preparation to packaging to storage.

As I mentioned before, Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Kittens and Adult Cats is prepared in small batches every week. Life's Abundance tests the quality of its foods to ensure the integrity of ingredients and to make sure the formula is adhered to. Immediately after each batch is prepared, it's bagged and shipped directly to one of our three warehouses.

Life's Abundance shipping departments take pride in the speedy yet careful handling of their products. When you place an order, your cat food is shipped via UPS, FedEx, or USPS, with an average transit time of two-three business days.

Thanks to their strict adherence to quality and safety, they've created a streamlined process that, in most cases, means that the food that's delivered to your door is only four to six weeks old.

The Smart Choice for Caring Pet Parents

While this comparison is by no means comprehensive, Life's Abundance offers this service as a way to start your quest for the best food for your cat. As a caring pet parent, they expect that you'll have questions. And they are ready to provide answers.

Life's Abundance Cat Treats

Life's Abundance offers two kinds of cat treats:  Gourmet Cat Treats and Turkey Hearts Freeze-Dried Cat Treats.

Most cats spend a good portion of their waking hours grooming themselves and often loose hair is swallowed, which can lead to an accumulation in the stomach. Dr. Jane Bicks DVM, believes that healthy skin and a strong, resilient coat begin on the inside and that is why she formulated Life's Abundance Gourmet Cat Treats and recently added the Turkey Heart Freeze-Dried Cat Treats. These savory nuggets are feline-friendly, and they feature a deliciously appetizing flavor that will delight even the most finicky of cats. Healthier hair can minimize hairballs. Made in the USA.

These tasty treats contain chicken, herring, and liver meals, vitamins C and E, omega-3's, DHA & EPA

Fish Oil for Cats and Dogs

Not All Pet Fish Oils are Created Equal

Regular supplementation of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from fish oil can help support your companion animal's healthy skin, coat, heart, brain eyes, and joints. However, numerous supplements on the shelves today do not contain the optimal concentration of fish oil. In addition, many of these supplements are not tested by an independent laboratory to ensure purity and safety.

Sealogix is Better

Life's Abundance fish oils contain at least 30% EPA and DHA, an ideal concentration for the overall health of your dog or cat. The oil is in a triglyceride form, which is highly bioavailable and without added flavors so it has a natural taste that dogs and cats love.

Life's Abundance Sealogix liquid fish oil supplements are effortless to feed compared to gel capsules, which can be difficult to swallow and messy when rejected. The 2-oz. bottle has an easy-to-measure dropper and the 8-oz. bottle has an easy-to-use cup. (A triglyceride fish oil will not have any effect on the plastic dropper or measuring cup.)

Dependable Quality

In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many environmental contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your pet's health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but that is willing to share the test results from every batch made. It's the surest way to know what you're feeding is perfectly safe.

Sealogix fish oils for pets are made in a human pharmaceutical facility … the same place as Life's Abundance Sealogix for people. They are highly concentrated and ultra-pure. Like their Sealogix for people, each bottle receives a nitrogen flush to remove oxygen from the bottle before it is sealed for ultra freshness. Plus, Sealogix fish oils meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. Each batch of Sealogix for pets is tested by an independent third-party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration, and purity that Sealogix supplements offer.
