PET FOOD ALERT !

Do you know what's really in your pet's food?

Why Not Buy Cheaper Pet Food?

In these unprecedented economic times you may wonder how anyone could expect you to spend more money on pet food. Consider this: 
  • First, don't assume that Life's Abundance pet food will definitely cost more- you may find the monthly feeding cost to be nearly the same, or maybe even less than, the cost of your current "premium" pet food.   
  • Proper nutrition tends to help improve and maintain the health of your pet, thus eliminating many potential health problems, chronic diseases, and unexpected veterinary treatments.  We know that certain foods and ingredients, when consumed on a regular basis, may eventually contribute to the development of certain illnesses in humans (from minor conditions to major and/or fatal diseases). This also applies to our pets! Many illnesses begin at sub-clinical levels, meaning that although you feel some type of pain or discomfort, tests may not be able to detect a specific illness or a cause for the symptoms-  until it becomes more severe.
  • By providing consistent, proper nutrition your pet can build up a stronger immune system and may be less likely to develop chronic conditions or serious illnesses.  Feeding your pet a lower-cost food that is likely to be poor in nutrition and made with poor manufacturing processes can only result in less than optimal health for your pet.
  • Pay attention to your pet's serving size, as you may find you can feed smaller portions of Life's Abundance food than usual. This is because of its nutrition density. Many people have said that when they switched to Life's Abundance they gave their cat or dog the same amount of food as usual and though their pet loved the food, they walked away from the bowl without eating it all. If you find your pet doesn't need as much food per serving compared to your previous pet food, your bag of Life's Abundance pet food will last longer than a larger bag of another kind!  
  • There are no costly surprises-  because you can calculate your pet's feeding amount and monthly cost online, before you buy (applicable only to the convenient AutoShip Program calculations).  Click one of the links below and after the new page loads, click on the green calculator icon on the left side of the webpage "Calculate My AutoShip and Feeding Costs Here".

How could you NOT spend more?



 

How To Switch Your Pet's Food

All of Life's Abundance foods contain essential fatty acids (EFAs) and 5 different types of probiotics, which can help keep your pet's coat, skin and tummy in good health.  Easy to digest, it's perfect for puppies, kittens, senior pets or pets with digestive problems. Because of the quality and digestibility of the food, most pets won't experience any digestive upsets when you switch them over to Life's Abundance food. If your pet already has some digestive issues or is a picky eater, consider purchasing a small amount of Life's Abundance and begin mixing it into your pet's current food. Gradually increase the amount until the previous food is finished. 

If you're planning to use up your current supply of pet food before ordering Life's Abundance, the manufacturer recommends that you consider ordering a free sample pack now. It can help your pet to have a smoother transition. You pay only a small shipping fee for the sample package. Feed just a few pieces of dry food or about a tablespoon of canned food at a time. If your pet happily eats it go ahead and order a larger amount, or place your AutoShip order! If your pet doesn't seem crazy about it, try mixing it in with your pet's current food, gradually increasing the amount of Life's Abundance and reducing the other food.




Pets Prefer Junk Food

It's natural for pets to prefer the "junk food", because the pet food manufacturer adds ingredients that make it taste yummy, and some are even addictive (sugar is one example). Just as humans prefer "junk food" because it tastes great, and we may be reluctant to give up certain foods although we know they could end up causing health problems, your pet may need an adjustment period.  Give your pet time to get over the junk food craving, to adjust to the healthier food.  Try some new treats and supplements from the Life's Abundance line.  Be patient and know that you are doing the right thing for your beloved companion!  
  • Pets on Prescription Diets  Please check with your veterinarian before switching your pet over to Life's Abundance.  Just print out the Technical Data Sheet for Life's Abundance Dog/Cat Food and show it to your veterinarian.  Upon request I can provide the Technical Data Sheets to your veterinarian via email.  Send me an email with your request, any questions you may have, and of course, your veterinarian's fax number @ danahsgm@aol.com.

PET FOOD RECALLS CONTINUE

Recent and continuous pet food recalls have alerted
pet caretakers to the sad truth about pet food - the manufacturing regulations and standards are woefully inadequate to protect our pets!  But many people still don't know that most pet food manufacturing processes are just disturbing- even horrendous- and that usage of poor quality or useless ingredients is commonplace, even with some of those "premium" and costly foods. Your pet's food does not have to be made in China to be unsafe, because there are ingredients, manufacturing processes and inadequate or un-enforced regulations that also result in many incidents of unsafe pet food production- and it's all happening right here in the USA.

Get ready to learn the truth about pet food ingredients and manufacturing processes!

Watch the video "What's Really In Your Pet's Food" to learn some shocking facts about the pet food industry. There are no graphic pictures or scenes in the video, but the information you will hear is really disturbing- it is the sad truth about pet food. I was so horrified and disgusted that I decided to create this website to help get the information out to as many people as possible (not everyone uses YouTube). These awful practices should be exposed. After you watch the video please go and compare your current pet food ingredients & cost with the ingredients and cost of  Life's Abundance. You'll want to switch today!

What Are You Really Feeding Your Pet?

Unless you prepare home-cooked meals or serve raw food to your pet, more than likely you are unknowingly buying pet food containing ingredients that may be harmful to the health & longevity of your pet!!  We all know that regular consumption of "bad" foods & ingredients can harm human health-- unfortunately the same holds true for our pets.




 Commonly- Used Unhealthy Pet Food Ingredients List  
 Check Your Pet Food Labels Now! 
  • By-products - beaks, feet/feathers, etc.
  • Corn, wheat or soy - known allergens, excessive carbohydrates
  • Hormones, steroids - from non-organic meat sources
  • Wheat gluten - inferior source of protein; involved in many pet food recalls
  • Excess fluoride - from steamed bone meal
  • Imported Ingredients - from countries like China, where dangerous toxins and poor quality proteins have been widely used in pet foods
  • Chemical preservatives - BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin
  • Sugars, corn syrup
  • Beef fat - indigestible
  • Artificial coloring/flavors - can be toxic

Listed below are some basic components of a high-quality pet food. You can learn more about pet food ingredients  opage two , and there are also links to some helpful sources for pet food information.
  1. The first ingredient listed on the label should always be meat or a meat/fish meal that is 100% pure (contains no by-products). Chicken meal is the most common but any type of meat meal provides the most concentrated nutrition- meaning that your pet will probably eat less than the usual amount & will thereby save you money. Organic meat is preferable as it lacks the hormones, steroids, antibiotics & other toxins that are present in conventional meats and poultry products. Organic fruits and veggies don't contain toxic pesticides.    
  • Avoid By-Products and all of the ingredients listed above -  A lawsuit was recently generated against a major pet food manufacturer when customers noticed "chicken and/or fish meal" on the ingredients label of the product. The manufacturer had claimed that there were no by-products. AAFCO, the agency that monitors pet foods in the US, considers chicken/fish meal to be by-products, so the case has gone to court.  
Please know that any chicken and/or fish meal used by Life's Abundance is made only from pure chicken meat and pure fish meat. The reason that AAFCO classifies chicken and fish meal as by-products is based on historical practices of most pet food manufacturers- in which they use ANYTHING BUT the meat of the chicken or fish. These companies use poor-quality, unsafe non-meat ingredients in their meal - and those are definitely by-products. Visit page 2   Is Chicken/Fish Meal  By-Products? if you'd like to know more.

973 FDA Pet Food Recalls!

According to Mary Ellen, author of "Angel Scribe" pet newsletter, there have been 973 pet food recalls since January 1, 2006! The FDA has published a list of all the recalls as of December 1st, 2009:.
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/ 
  • Search CAT, DOG, and HORSE food products.
Please share this potentially life saving information with other pet guardians-- Mary Ellen advises that if you see your pet just picking at its food there is often something wrong with the food. Cats will often urinate around the home if they are eating bad food. If your pet vomits, has diarreah or refuses to eat, change their food immediately, consult your veterinarian, and report the product to the FDA website above. Be aware that there will be a time lapse between when pet parents discover bad food and when they report it to the FDA.  It could also take a few months from the time the food, snack or toy is reported to when the products are actually recalled.

On December 9th, 2009, the FDA launched a Pet Health & Safety widget. The widget can be copied onto anyone's website or blog. It allows users to access content on the FDA's web site without having to leave another web site or web page. Users can more easily access the latest news & information from the FDA Center For Veterinary Medicine.

The FDA intends to publish topics such as how to report a problem with your pet's food, purchasing pet drugs online, and caring for your pet in a disaster situation.



This website is not an online store despite it's name- I apologize for that, it's not meant to be misleading. The website names I wanted to use were not available. 


I strongly believe it is our responsibility as pet caretakers to make sure our pets get the nutrition they need and deserve. Good nutrition can help pets to enjoy healthier, happier and longer lives? Pets depend on us to do what's best for them in the same way that children do. Now that more and more pet foods are being recalled than ever before, and pet food regulations are truly inadequate, it's more important than ever to feed your pet the most nutritious, safe and healthy pet food you can find. 
I'm not a nutritionist or a scientist, but I've learned the only way to make informed choices about pet food is to study the ingredients of commercial pet foods and the pet food industry's manufacturing processes and standards. If you don't want to do that and/or you're not already feeding your pet a homemade or raw diet, try one of the best quality alternatives available: Life's Abundance pet foods, created by Dr. Jane Bicks, a holistic veterinarian. 
After feeding my cats Life's Abundance "Natural Instinct" canned food for several months I noticed that one of my cats experienced a complete disappearance of her chronic dandruff. She'd been treated for it previously several times, but it always came back. I believe that Life's Abundance Natural Instinct canned cat food is the reason for her improvement- the dandruff has not come back.  I joined the Field Representative team at HealthyPetNet because I want more pets to have a natural, safe & healthy food.



Life's Abundance pet products are NOT available in stores to help HPN keep the cost competitive without compromising on the quality. You can order your pet's food, treats, supplements and spa items (like doggie shampoo) from one website. Your order will be conveniently delivered to your door. Low shipping rates are offered anywhere in the USA (usually under $10, regardless of weight) -  you could order a 40 pound bag of food and still pay only about $10 for shipping! Save  more by ordering enough food to last a few months, and then save even more by enrolling in the convenient AutoShip Program option.

When you order online through my website links you're actually ordering through the the HPN secure system. You'll be connected to my Field Representative website and I'll earn a commission- which currently does not even begin to cover the cost of running a website and paying for internet advertising. Hopefully I'll have lots of happy customers in the future, but I really do this because of my love and concern for cats & dogs everywhere.
