Offering a good puppy nutrition plan to your new pet is important as it gives them a high quality diet from almost the very beginning of life. There are so many products on the market these days that knowing where to start can be quite confusing. Many people are unsure why they need to spend money on anything better than generic branded puppy food. At this time of year more people bring home new puppies, so let me explain why proper puppy nutrition is important.

First of all you need to remember that your new pup has a very sensitive digestive system. This is an area of the body that can flare up and cause problems all through its life if food sources are not adequately managed. While the cheaper foods might be more affordable on a daily basis, the lack of quality puppy nutrition can cause serious and expensive problems later and end up actually costing you even more. On top of this changing your puppy food over to something else down the track only leads to problems for your dog. The change between foods can lead to diarrhea and/or constipation which are uncomfortable for the puppy and distressing for you. It’s important to find the right puppy nutrition as soon as possible to allow for good digestive habits including regular bowel motions – which will also make housebreaking a new puppy much easier!

A great way to start your pup off with great food is to try a puppy pack. These introduce you to a range of products designed to be offered together and produce a well-rounded diet for your puppy. There are even packs that contain supplementary products like shampoos and treats that are healthy for you and your dog to use. Having a puppy pack makes the early days of life with a new pup much easier on the new owner. Having good puppy nutrition in place from the start will give your dog the best chance at optimum growth and you the best chance at training and obedience success.

Not only will a puppy pack give you a great start to providing good puppy nutrition but it can show you just what items you’ll need to purchase in addition to food. I love that a puppy pack provides the new owner with almost everything that they will need. It can be quite overwhelming to decide what individual items are necessary and what products are good quality, so using a puppy pack can show you how often you might need certain things and also give you an idea of how best to provide a complete package of puppy nutrition for your pet.

HealthyPetNet offers two Puppy Pak selections allowing you to provide good puppy nutrition to your pet. An in-depth review of the products included is on its way so be sure to check back on this page regularly for more information about the Puppy Pak.

Each feature is discussed in detail below.

The first of the newest site features is an online pet food calculator. This feature works great for pet owners, especially those who simply pour pet food on demand, without realizing it may be too little, or too much. Pet malnutrition and obesity are a concern for many pet owners these days.

A link to the HealthyPetNet Pet Food Calculator can be found on the upper right corner of the Welcome page. Basically, it helps you calculate how much food to give your pet in relation to their weight in pounds (lbs). The first drop down menu allows you to choose from Life’s Abundance Cat Food and Life’s Abundance Dog Food to Life’s Abundance Weight Loss Dog Food.

To calculate daily recommended servings that are healthy and safe for your pet, simply enter your pet’s weight in the space provided. If you have a cat, the maximum number which can be entered is 18lbs. After hitting Submit, a box which gives the Suggested daily servicing amount range appears. It also automatically calculates approximately how long a bag of product will last to help you anticipate when your supplies are running low, and allow you to incorporate your pet’s food into your weekly budget.

The second feature that HealthyPetNet is now conveniently packed with is a Product Comparison Page. With so many dog and cat food in the market these days, it can be headache-inducing to have to choose the best one. While you only have the best intentions for your pet, pet food makers have various marketing strategies that may not always involve your pet’s healthy life. It pays to know what your pet food contains.

The Dog Food Comparison and Cat Food Comparison pages make it more convenient to compare Life’s Abundance products against other brands constructively by giving you a rundown of the first five major ingredients of each brand compared. Part of HealthyPetNet’s commitment to healthy pets is educating pet parents by giving a brief explanation of why certain ingredients can work against your pet’s overall health.

Additionally, it features a comparison of health-promoting ingredients that have to be present in your pet’s food. Finally, it gives a quick price comparison. HealthyPetNet’s Life’s Abundance pet products are compared against other popular names in the market – Eukabana, Wellness, and Purina, to name a few.

Because Life’s Abundance cares about what your pet eats, it offers only the most wholesome, purest, gluten and corn-free products which are free from artificial colors and flavors. They have even released a vegetarian-formulated product, the Life’s Abundance Weight Loss Formula for Adult Dogs, for over-weight dogs.

The last, but not the least feature of the website is a product showcase on the bottom of the homepage. It provides a quick slideshow of all products’ images by simply scrolling your mouse sideward. To view a product’s details, you simply have to double-click.  You will then be brought to the product’s page, which is packed with information such as suggested daily serving sizes according to pet weight, feeding instructions, and an option to purchase. Now that’s convenience for loving pet parents like you and your beloved furry friends!

Do you know what You’re Feeding your Pets?

Pet Food Comparison

You love your pets and no doubt you choose what you believe is premium pet food and the best available for them. However, chances are that if you buy pet food at any major pet store chain, what you are getting is not in the best interest of your pets’ health. It is important to read the all the ingredients on the label, especially the first five to determine the nutritional content. Do you see any of the following ingredients listed:

Corn

Wheat

Wheat flour

Soybean Meal

Corn, wheat and soybeans are actually cheap fillers. In fact, unlike rice, corn and wheat are difficult to digest and many dogs and cats have wheat and corn allergies. Look further down the list and do you see any of these ingredients in your pets’ food:

Animal Fat (an unnamable animal fat source)

Animal Digest (a material which results from chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis of clean undecomposed animal tissue – yuck!)

Poultry or meat by-product meal (or any other byproduct! Who knows what part of the animal it is.)

Sugar

Artificial colors

Artificial flavors

Preservatives

Would you want to feed your dog or cat an unknown meat or an unknown part of the animal? Do you want to give them sugar, artificial ingredients or preservatives? Of course not! You wouldn’t want your children eating a diet of Twinkies. Why not give you pets the very best as well. Your pets deserve premium all natural pet food for a healthy life and to live into old age, which research demonstrates is 25 to 30 years.

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
