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.

The dedicated online distributor of high-grade pet food and supplies HealthyPetNet comes to life once more with three brand new features designed to help pet lovers navigate conveniently around the site, and be able to make easy, informed decisions to ensure a worthy purchase. The three features are built to revolve around pet food calculation and product viewing and comparison, so that pet owners can get only the healthiest choices of products for their furry friends. 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!

“The smallest feline is a masterpiece”.  That’s what Leonardo da Vinci once said and I couldn’t agree more.  That is why I am so happy to announce that I formulated a new and improved supplement for cats called  Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement, which replaces the Immune & Body Support we offered in the past at HealthyPetNet.

The more I learn about the way bodies function, the more amazing they seem to me. There is a growing amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests a mammal’s body has a highly complex, natural intelligence. As a holistic veterinarian, I review such evidence, interpreting it within the context of established scientific knowledge. Based upon these observations, it seems that a cat’s body “prefers” nutrients as they exist in foods, in their more natural state. On a cellular level, their bodies are familiar with the nutrient components and therefore the body knows to absorb and assimilate exactly what it needs. That is why I believe that small amounts of nutrients in foods can have a profound affect on a cat’s body. In light of this information, I formulated a new approach to add to the overall nutrient intake, creating Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Cats.

This new supplement is formulated with a wide variety of naturally-nutritious ingredients to help maintain overall health. The proteins in this superior supplement are sourced from high-quality chicken, herring, chicken liver, salmon and pork meals. We have also included chicken cartilage, a natural source of glucosamine and condroitin sulfate. This supplement also contains other nutritious ingredients such as alfalfa sprouts, tomato pomace and fish oil.  And last but not least, even the most finicky of felines will enjoy the savory taste of these nutritious nuggets!

Supplementing a cat’s diet can play an important role in maintaining overall health, and I hope you will contact your cat customers so they can try this new and improved supplement.

Thank you for your support.

Recently, much attention has been devoted to the long-term health of companion animals.  More and more pet parents are seeking ways to supplement their dog’s new, healthier diets. 

Just like humans, dogs are subjected to environmental pollutants that can take a toll on their health.  In the home, they are exposed to household cleaners, the impurities of tap water, herbicides and even to repeated use of prescription medicines.  All of these elements can have a negative impact on their bodily organs and immune system.

To address the potential harmful effects of low-quality foods and environmental factors, we’ve developed a powerful supplement to address the needs of dogs.

Advanced Daily Supplement provides essential nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients), and antioxidants, all of which have demonstrated abilities to help promote immunity, vision, energy, bone and skin health, and general well-being. 

Advanced Daily Supplement contains optimal levels of multi-functional vitamins, including A, C, and D, as well as vital B vitamins thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B12), and the cobalamins (B12).   Additionally, we’ve included a wide array of multi-functional minerals, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, iron, copper, manganese and iodine.  Other ingredients include the plant-based compound beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to support immunity, and the antioxidant N-Acetyl-Cysteine, shown to support healthy liver function, and respiratory and neurological health. 

This proprietary formula also includes barley grass, a “green food” found to increase levels of “friendly” bacteria (probiotics), improve energy and digestion, reduce bad breath, and promote healthy skin and coats.  And last but not least, Advanced Daily Supplements for Dogs has a delicious roast beef flavor that your furry friends will love – so your pup will be happy to take his or her multivitamin, every single day!

Remember, anything you can do now to help bolster their immune systems can have long-term benefits on their future health.
